so I decided I want to get a new board, and that its time to build my dream board.

I was all set to get a dregs supertanker.

unfortunately they no longer make it.  well they do, but its now concave with a kicktail, and harder.  this is no good for me.  my plan was to flip the board and throw clear grip on it, so the design is on top.  then put exkate torsion trucks and 90 or possibly even 96mm flywheels on, and finally, some LED risers.

so I need a huge board that is preferably flexible, with wheel cutouts and that is totally flat.  plus karma for any help.

You could always make your own board. I looked into it this summer and its not too difficult to set up and i bet its a blast to build your own deck.

If you want a company one though, longboard larry has custom decks you can buy with cutouts.

I would, but I don't know where to get high quality 11 ply birch.  and i do not have access to a band/jigsaw, or anything other than a hacksaw for that matter.
