This board is by far the best I've ever ridden, even after trying a lot of my friends other boards. It has a great shape, and I think itsa very much mulitpurpose as long as you have the right setup on it. I have the trucks very loose, and it is a dream to carve with as it is really smooth and if you get it right, you can drift and kick out the tail a bit. Also, the bustin bocca wheels that I bought with it are completely different to my expectations. As bustin is not an established wheel manufacturer I didnt expect much, but they really have produced a great wheel. With the offset hub and 81a durometer it is great for wide carves or weaving in and out of pedestrians. The customer service there is great and they really make you feel like one of the family, and the way you can customize the colours is really great. I will definatly buy from them again, next time a spliff I think.

Longboard Review

How long have you ridden the board: A week
What is your setup like?: Bustin Bocca Wheels
Abec 9s Waterproofs
Randal 180 Black
Typical Session Discipline: Carving, urban slalom, mild downhill
How much did you pay?: $215 or �135
Where did you purchase it?: Bustin Boards themselves
What were the strengths of the deck.: The flex on this deck is insane. Honestly so different to anything else I've tried. With your feet locked into the double camber youre not going to fall of easily, and this combined with the amazing flex means you really can just chuck it into the corners. I love the custom graphics option and it means you get a truly unique deal.
What were the weaknesses?: The nose and the kicktail are a bit redundant, due to the placement of the trucks. You cannot pull nose manuals at all, but the kicktail serves purpase as a great stable place to put your back foot when youre in a speed tuck. Minor problems with wheel bite but thats my set up preferences, and its easy to live with as long as you know the limits of the board.
Similar decks you have ridden?: Custom speedboard, loaded dervish, lush bahari.
Would you recommend it?: Yes

I don't think the boards construction is good enough for the price (and I got mine cheaper)... It is not a carving board. All in all the board wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't good either. I think it would make a good beginner board or transition board from shortboarding, but I don't think I would recommend it. At least not while Earthwing is putting out better boards for a comparable price. I will not buy from Bustin again.

This board is good for cruising around and carving up the streets. It does have a little bit of a problem with turning though. It should have a little more front-cave. but when your feet are in the divets, it feels awesome!
