the Tech 5 Standard - Informational Document

The Tech 5 mold is the design I am most proud of bringing to the worldwide fingerboard scene. It's been called the most functional short shape in finger boarding, myself and the Five team swear by it, and since its release has been the most popular of my molds by far.
The kicks are angled identically (with nose slightly longer) and are both modeled after the tail from my Fu mold sketches. I joined them into a tactically smooth concave and it was my first experience in adjusting wheelbase in wee decimal points to ensure absolute perfection in their placement.

The Tech 5 Standard was developed before everyone and their dog started using the term "boxy". It is clearly a squared shape and has become reknown for its incredible performance worldwide.

A Tech 5 Standard can be made in sizes ranging from 32 up to 34.5mm with an average overall length of 94mm. Again, skinnier and fatter sizes can be made but I cannot speak for the performance once we leave the range of sizes that I designed the mold for.
