Purchase
Deck Materials: 7 ply maple, pressed in San Diego, California USA.

This board has a simple one color pirate on the bottom and the Pool King logo the top side.

Other: This is not just a wide board, it's what we call a "performance pig". This deck has all the features: deep concave, long, up-scooped nose and more of a "popsicle" overall look. It is large enough to handle the deepest of pools with plenty of comfort and stability. This is a well made deck and a real blast to rip around parks on.

For carving around bowls it is great. Good solid construction.

Longboard Review

How long have you ridden the board: 10 Months
What is your setup like?: Indy 215 trucks, 62mm 100A Rainskate Stinger wheels, Biltin Bearings
Typical Session Discipline: Bowl riding
How much did you pay?: $100 AUD
Where did you purchase it?: Boardshop.com.au
What were the strengths of the deck.: I am about 6`2" and 200lbs with a pretty big foot. The size of the deck appealed to me and allows for a really comfortable stance. The concave is fairly mellow. Deck feels solid with minimal to no flex. My riding really improved after moving to this deck from a smaller board. I ride it in pretty small/tight bowls and it carves really well.
What were the weaknesses?: The graphic doesnt appeal to me but that doesnt matter given the quality of the ride.It has a fairly big tail that some may find steep.
Similar decks you have ridden?: I Havnt had the opportunity to ride many deck. MY choice came down to a toss up between the Pirate and the BDS Quad 11 which is also a great ride.
Would you recommend it?: Yes
