Thanks for the replies. I have messed around on some of his boards. They feel great even though I admit that I'm a complete n00b. Dean (the builder's name)is messing around with different types of wood, epoxies, truck angles, and other materials. If you are looking for certain specs, he can figure it out. He is also making downhill boards. If anyone wants to stop by and test it one out, pm me. Dean and I live across the street from each other. There is a great hill in between our houses that a bunch of longboarders come to session. You can probably get up to 25 -30 mph on it.
