Insta-boards are here
Cafe Press style technology is not exactly new in skateboards, there’s Board Pusher and Zazzle, plus more on the way. Still, I envision a time when you go to a skate shop and pick out a blank that matches your specs, then browse through an assortment of pro graphics, pick one and wait a few minutes while the board is loaded onto an oversized inkjet printer and the graphic is applied. The process at the Board Factory in Downtown Disney is similar, except you design the board yourself (hello clip art!) and the print out is applied via heat transfer. From the price of the completes, it looks like they are using some cheap wood. Still, it’s an interesting concept that we have not heard the last of. Downtown Disney? Orange County? I don’t know if it’s in Florida or California, but I imagine they have the same thing in both places.

I was there for Halloween at Cali Disneyland and didnt see it . Must be knew . That plaza is the downtown disney in cali though.
Was just there (Cali) right before Christmas. It wasn’t open yet, but seemed just as lame as the Build-A-Bear or Build-A-RCcar gimmicks.
I want my board bedazzled. Is this where I need to go?
Haha, bedazzled, haha!!….that reminds me of all those stupid Afflection t-shirts with all that bedazzled crap on them, haha…douches
