What is Birdseye Maple?

Birdseye is the name given to a growth anomaly occurring in hard maple. These little eye-looking knots are most likely formed from the tree’s attempt to create new buds in its grain in order to absorb more sunlight. Due to many debatable factors, the tree must halt the procedure and resume its normal growth. While Birdseye Maple is not its own species, its distribution is almost EXCLUSIVE to Northeastern North American hard maple.

Why the hype for Birdseye?

A rarity found in automobile trim, jewellery boxes, guitars, and custom rifle stocks to name a few of its uses, it’s not an easy feat to find Birdseye Maple. No one knows exactly why Birdseye Maple comes about, but all the real ones know that it’s synonymous with Luxury. Land your feet on one of the 10 Tango made before this limited collection flies off the shelves!

Technicality and control

The Judo is our most technically oriented dancing board, focused on freestyle. With it’s big round kicks, you can be sure that this board will be flying left and right. Like most street skates, the Judo has big round kicks to really elevate the level of control when doing aerial tricks, as well as a plethora of manual combos and such. The thinner platform is also best for those who have smaller feet simply because you will always have an edge under your feet, meaning more control and confidence. Technicality and control is really what the Judo is all about!

What's inside the board?

Dancer boards (Judo, Jig and Joe) all feature six plies of hard rock Canadian maple sandwiched between our timeless dyed epoxy fiberglass. A wide unidirectional carbon fiber stringer is laminated on the bottom to enhance control, pop and stiffness. This allows us to make boards that have nice damp characteristics while still keeping it crisp, snappy and durable.
