Scott at Subsonic builds each board custom so if you want to tweak or change something, don't be afraid to ask.

Longboard Review

How long have you ridden the board: 21 months
What is your setup like?: Ordered the deck without the drop though cutouts, Seismic 180mm 45/30 degree trucks, and Seismic Speedvents
Typical Session Discipline: Bombing/Speed Carving/Garages
How much did you pay?: Almost 2 yrs ago can't remember
Where did you purchase it?: Subsonic
What were the strengths of the deck.: I had Scott Glass the deck and told him I wanted the board to have a slight flex, not much just enough to take the edge off of rougher pavement. Scott nailed the flex. The board is very stable carves great with the Seismic trucks and wheels, and drifting is smooth and predictable. The faster you go the better it feels.
What were the weaknesses?: None that I really see, the board does everything I was expecting it to and then some. Don't know if this is a weakness but it is the heaviest board I own.
Similar decks you have ridden?: Subsonic Swift 42", Longboard Larry Drop Board
Would you recommend it?: Yes
