It´s sunday! let´s travel to the Philippines again. Well, there is no plane waiting for you guys and girls, but another fingerboard deck made it all the way from the Philippines to Germany. Welcome to the Philippines! George Casem, the owner of McKenzie Fingerboards, sents me a wonderful letter filled with happines (5 Decks!!!) from one of more than 7000 islands of the Philippines. George is in the fingerboard game since 2012 so he knows how to roll.
Today we will take a look at the second deck of this batch. It´s a real wear graphic deck called the MacDO. Check it out:
Shape:
The shape of this deck is the GU Shape in a width of 33mm. The GU shape is a well-defined medium kick and medium concave fingerboard shape. The tail is shorter than the nose and the nose is about 1 degree higher than the tail. This is what we call up to date. A super solid shape, nice plies, you won´t need more.

This graphic is called the MacDO. I think all you guys could easy identify why this graphic is called MacDO. This graphic is one of a 4 decks series. Just check out the McKenzie shop and you will see the others. This graphic is super clean and colorfull. The colors are super strong and the graphic itself is well done. It´s a real wear graphic deck. The graphic is made from a real wear foil for a more realistic look. The graphic is done perfect on the fingerboard deck. This deck and all the plies are just super clean, I mean, look at the pictures. The color of the graphic are just super strong and fantastic! The edges are perfect round and the holes are straight and just perfect. This is just a perfect graphic fingerboard deck. This is a super high quality fingerboard. The McKenzie decks from last year have been made in a super high quality but this deck is another step in the evolution of McKenzie. You can really see how much love was given to this deck. Great craftmansship!
The shape of this deck is the GU Shape in a width of 33mm. The GU shape is a well-defined medium kick and medium concave fingerboard shape. The tail is shorter than the nose and the nose is about 1 degree higher than the tail. This shape is 100% up to date and fits perfect into these days standard. The plies are lovely, clean and basic too.
Every deck comes in a basic package with some sticker and a sheet of colored foam. This sheet of colored foam is without tape on the back, so it´s not a sheet of riptape. It´s probably in the package to keep the deck safe while shipping. Just get some tape and use this foam as nonslider for example.
Goerge offers with McKenzie really affordable and really good fingerboard decks. The real wear graphic decks cost about 30 $. You could order this graphic right over here: Click!
