Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: 2 years
What is your setup like?: gulwing & Bone Swiss
Typical Session Discipline: Cruising, DH
How much did you pay?: 160
Where did you purchase it?: online
What were the strengths of the deck.: I think the size paired with the concave is the perfect combination for stability. The board makes turns on a dime and my setup is only decent.
What were the weaknesses?: Pretty much all boards can be 5.0's across the chart depending on the set-up so any weakness as far as my board is concerned lies in that.
Similar decks you have ridden?: Drop-through, flex decks
Would you recommend it?: Yes
Was this review helpful to you? yes     no

This was my first board and I love it. Its an AMAZING all around board...and for carving and bombing hills its great!! (40mph or less though...a bit too flexible for faster than that) But for those new to longboarding...or those seasoned and wanting to add a wicked looking all-around...this is a great choice. Black griptape gets old...show the grain!! buy the pin!!!
