Close Up are a really interesting company in my eyes, they've always taken fingerboarding as a complete package, rather than just worked on decks, or just one thing, its something they're pretty much only competing with tech deck for. Not only that, but, despite what some people say, the decks are really good. My first deck ever was a closeup g2 blank, and, its nice to see that they're still going strong as always making great decks. The g3s look really good, and, coupled with the price, they're an awesome product that really helps the scene by letting people get into fingerboarding cheaply (such as myself! Getting a close up and fingerboarding allowed me to discover my love for it).
The latest deck is something I really love, because, my its really similar to my close up, my first deck, which was plain wood.
Theres also a bunch of really cheap packages you can get: The marble bench + a complete for under 40 euros, and the complete + a set of printed urethane bearing wheels for under 30 euros!
Good stuff as always from close up. Check them out:
