This is my first board, and I love it. My friends compare it to the Loaded boards, and are all jealous of it. The response from the board is awesome. You feel as if you and the board are one. Love the flex. This thing will be great for sliding. Trust me you wont regret buying this board.

IMPORTANT! - My ratings are versus ALL longboards. If I was rating only on pintails, I'd give ALL 5's across the board because this board is FRESH!
Great for any discipline. I'd call it a starter deck but I bought it in my 4th year of longboarding and really enjoyed it.
If you're just starting and you love pumping around, It's perfect.
Virtually indestructible. If you can only afford ONE board, This will get you through college. (and at that price, you could get two!)
I met a man in Japan who swears by the Bigfish.
"What other board would I use to carve down Mount Fuji?"

Longboard Review

How long have you ridden the board: 1 year
What is your setup like?: HoneyComb core version of Bigfish

180mm Crail speed trucks with orange 70mm 78A Madrid center wheels(IMO Best gummy wheel ever).

Switch up with Abec11 98A No Skoolz for sick slides
Typical Session Discipline: Carving + Sliding + Around town
How much did you pay?: Complete price
Where did you purchase it?: Motionlongboards.com
What were the strengths of the deck.: It's ultra tough. Honeycomb core makes it impossible to delaminate.
Small and light. Great for girls or guys.
Decent flex for mid-speed carving. Very lively. Gives the old "bend and snap" a new meaning.;)
Flexy, yet perfectly stable at downhill speed.
So pretty. The graphics are amazing protected by scratch resistant clear coat.
What were the weaknesses?: Not quite enough flex for my carving skill/body weight.
I weigh 150 lbs. and 6' tall.
As with most pintails, wheel size and looseness of trucks are limited because there are no cutouts.
Similar decks you have ridden?: Sectornine SurfCamp (Same dimensions but bamboo)
Whole plethora of pintails
Would you recommend it?: Yes

Typical Session Discipline: Pumping, carving, commuting, dancing, banks, whatever i throw at it.
How much did you pay?: enough
What were the strengths of the deck.: Amazing feel to it. I have the old version (wood and FG).
It will handle anything I can dish out, with a few minor tweaks. I love it

This is a half decent deck for a new rider (or someone who is starting back after 6 or so years of not touching a board). It's flexy, forgiving, and controls pretty well. It also looks slick as hell with clear griptape on a summer day (it's translucent).
