Similar in construction to the Descent, the Heist is a 41" drop-thru flex deck that is preloaded with tons of camber and a little more concave than other flex decks. Very lively and responsive yet not overpowering, this is the elite in flex decks. (Taken from www.neversummer.com) Also includes a 3 year warranty (Photo credit- www.neversummer.com)

Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 6 monthsWhat is your setup like?: paris 180s, bones swiss, reflex and venom bushings, Otang InHeat 83aTypical Session Discipline: carving/sliding/dancingHow much did you pay?: 400 NZDWhere did you purchase it?: Boarding for eternityWhat were the strengths of the deck.: Really poppy flex. In comparison to the dervish which is much more gradual.
with this deck you kind-of have to push through the concave to get it to flex. What this means is that when you first stand on it it may not feel very flexy at all, but go into a carve and get it to flex a little and it gets way more flexable. After the carve the deck seems to pop back into shape with more energy than a dervish. you could call it higher rebound I guess..What were the weaknesses?: Mine Broke.Similar decks you have ridden?: Dervish, never summer descent, rayne nemesis.

Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: About two weeksWhat is your setup like?: The 09 Heist with the new graphic
Paris 180
Orangatang 4Pres 83a (purple)Typical Session Discipline: downhill, sliding, cruising, carvingHow much did you pay?: 150 for deck and trucksWhere did you purchase it?: inertiaboardshop.comWhat were the strengths of the deck.: The snappy flex springs you in and out of carves way better than a bamboo board would. It is surprisingly stable for how flexy it is. It slides well. And nose and tail guards plus a three year warranty.What were the weaknesses?: Flex isnt that even through out the board. Very flexy in middle and not so much towards the trucks.Similar decks you have ridden?: Loaded Dervish, Sector 9 maccasWould you recommend it?:
Yes

Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 1 weekWhat is your setup like?: randals, stock bushings, DBS bearings, lime big zigsTypical Session Discipline: hard carving, drifting, bit of footwork stuffHow much did you pay?: $125Where did you purchase it?: DaddiesWhat were the strengths of the deck.: great snap to the flex, really thin construction, so it's light, the Ptex bumpers work, good concave and width locks you in.What were the weaknesses?: you can still get wheelbite with a 75mm wheel. this needs to be resolved. I hate wheelbiteSimilar decks you have ridden?: dervish first edition flex 2. the heist is definitely snappier flex. not just stiffer.Would you recommend it?:
Yes

Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 2 MonthsWhat is your setup like?: Currently running Paris 180 Trucks (stock bushings) with Purple Otang In Heats.Typical Session Discipline: Parking DecksHow much did you pay?: $125 for just the DeckWhere did you purchase it?: DaddiesWhat were the strengths of the deck.: The deck is well built with almost the perfect amount of flex. I weigh 150lb and it only flexes when I need it to. Perfect for taking sharp turns at high speeds, but it can handle itself speeding down whatever hill you throw at it.What were the weaknesses?: I haven't found one.Similar decks you have ridden?: Rayne Hustler and Loaded VanguardWould you recommend it?:
Yes
