THE STUMP
THE STUMP
The Stump is another new shape for 2024! This board is our take on a ditch slasher/old school mini cruiser. The wider deck width and slight fishtail allow for a nice platform to keep you locked in for carving and slashing around your local ditches, streets and pump tracks. The Maple and Basalt construction make a strong deck with a slight amount of flex for energy return while carving.
If carving, cruising and slashing are your game this is the board for you! Get out there and get rippin on the Stump!

SPECS
Length: 32”(81.28cm)
Width: 9.2”(23.37cm)
Wheelbase: 16”(40.64cm)
CONSTRUCTION
The Stump is crafted out of 6 plies of hard rock Great Lakes Maple and two layers of 13oz Biaxial Basalt.
COMBO WHEELS: THE BLENDER
The Combo Blender is the perfect choice in a wheel for the Stump Complete. It has good edge grip for hard carves but with a narrower contact patch it will kick out easily when pressure is applied. The height of the Blender in combo with the urethane allow for high roll speed, great for skating ditches and pump tracks or just rolling around your local streets. Combo wheels are poured in the USA in a premium urethane formula.
ACE TRUCKS: CLASSIC 44’S
We chose Ace Classic 44’s for The Stump Complete because they have the best turn out of any TKP truck we have ridden. Perfect for carving, cruising and slashing your local ditches, pump tracks, and streets.
ABOUT FOSTER BOARDS
MATERIALS
All of the materials we put into our boards are aimed at being as sustainable as possible.
-The Wood is sourced from a sustainable mill
-The Glue used in our boards is a water based PVA glue for lowest environmental impact
-The Resin used is 29% bio based resin called SuperSap by Entropy Resins
-Basalt and Fiberglass are consider the most sustainable of all reinforcement fabrics. Basalt Fabric is made from Basalt or more commonly know as lava rock. Fiberglass is mainly made from sand something that is very abundant.
-The Inks used in our graphics are water based acrylic inks, significantly less toxic for the environment than the oil based inks used by most in the industry
-The Lacquer used to seal our boards is a waterborne lacquer with extremely low VOC content which leads to less impact on the environment.
GRAPHICS
All of our graphics are hand screen printed in our shop in Seattle, WA.
They are printed using high quality water based inks. Because they are screen printed by hand, slight variations might be present in each board.
All Graphics are created by Gerry Kreuder with a collaboration of ideas from the team.
PROCESS
All of our boards are made from start to finish in our shop in Seattle, WA.
We have strict quality control rules in place throughout the process to insure each and every board that leaves our shop is of the highest quality.
