The 22" POD Micro Pumper has come to life, the first one
is finaly ready for action.. Right now it's set up with Tracker
RTX/S 106mm trucks, 66m 78a Zig Zags dyed black, some
wedging/dewedging and Biltins bearings. It will be set up
with Bennett 4.3's and 62mm Alligators as soon as I get

Surf Museum 08-28-09

Chris Yandall, Thane from Griffin Skateboards and I
went to Oceanside on friday evening for an industry
repection at the California Surf Museum in Oceanside..
It was a great evening. I got to meet lot so of famous
surfers and skaters, including Jeff Ho, Christian Fletcher,
Duane Peters, Cris Dawson, and the list goes on..
Very inspiting to be around these people,
made me want to go home and start
building more boards at 11 at night..
I have added some photos of the evening to
page 3 of the photo gallery on my website..
Me and Larry Balma of Tracker with the GTCPLDP:

The Sushi deck has been discontinued

The fun little board the Sushi has been discontinued,
and will be replaced with a 26" x 9 1/2" POD model.
The Sushi had its run, but the POD promises to replace
everything the Sushi was about and more..
The fishtail of the Sushi was cool looking but served
no real purpose, the squared off tail of the POD will
serve much better and help maximize wheelbase and
the ability to stand up for storage.

Galac Land Surfing New Symbol

I've been working on the graphics for a while now...
I've got the original Oval logo, the new streamlined
oval logo and the new GLS initial logo.. But I've been
thinking of a symbol for a while now.. It finally came to
me.. This is based off the atomic symbol.. It's my own
twist to an old design, based off the oval in our logo.
Presenting the new Galac Atomic Symbol...
This will be the official symbol for Galac Land Surfing.
This is gonna be a fun one to use.. I can't wait to get
this on T-Shirts and stickers..

Just had to say, Muir Skate rules...

If you're in the San Diego/Pacific Beach area, there is only one
skateshop to bother with.. Muir Skate has everything you need
in one shop. Scott at Muir takes care of things and is willing
to help you out and get you rolling.
I'm so thankful that we have a shop like Muir, and guys like
Scott and Seth doing what they're doing.
They have an abolutely amazing website/online store...
Plus they throw great skate events.

GTCPLDP Deluxe Custom

This is a board I'm working on for my bike mechanic.
It's a GTCPLDP Deluxe and has custom paint and
graphics, featuring checkerboard logo and badge..

The POD in the flesh (or wood)

The POD has come to life now.. Already getting orders
for this little pumping goody... This one is the first one
and it's almost ready for some action. It will be set up
with Bennett 4.3/RTS 106mm, and 66mm Lime Zig Zags,
and 2 Khiro 80a Wedge pads per truck,
wedged/dewedged of course.
This thing is just begging to be ridden as I look at it now..

A few of the latest boards in progress...

Here are some the latest boards in the works right now.
Busy days at the factory managing the little elves that
make these yummy creations...

New Galac Land Surfing Oval Logo

The original oval logo has been streamlined, it's the
same logo, but I have dropped the Land Surfing
and San Diego text at the top and bottom, this will
be getting used on all boards in the future, starting
with the POD.

New Galac Land Surfing Initial Logo

This will be secondary logo. It's the initials GLS of
Galac Land Surfing, in a flowing, inter-connected design.
The old original logo will never go away, but this will get
osed on certain boards and clothing in the near future.

GTCPLDP.COM LDP Setup page

I have been working on a setup and tips page for LDP
setups for a while now. It's still evolving, and there will
be more information and pictures added to it soon, but
it's a good start. I wrote this beacuse I get so many questions
about how to setup LDP boards, and I figured this be helpful
and make my life easier.

GTCP has become an official acronym

I was searching around google and stumbled upon this.
It seems that GTCP has become an actual acronym
in the english language. I never imagine when I came
up with this term, that it would become an acronym.
Here is the link..

a wheelbase of 15 1/4". This board is going to be be too much
fun for its own good. Super light and super portable, with
routed out hand groove grips.. The width of the deck

it very rideable for such a small board... You can carry it
like a laptop or strap it to your backpack, or stash it under
your deck in your office... So you can have something to rip
around on anywhere, anytime, anyplace...
These will be $75.00 including shipping in the Continental US.
