Chuck Barfoot fully captures the spirit of surfing with this Donald Takayama designed deck! Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 11 MonthsWhat is your setup like?: Holey Trucks Tunnel Tarantulas Typical Session Discipline: Cruising/Carving How much did you pay?: $80ish Where did you purchase it?: barfoot.com What were the strengths of the deck.: This is the true epitome of surfing on concrete. Super mellow ride and yet still handles 30mph speeds pretty well. Very strong yet flexible and this board is totally different than anything else you'll ever ride. What were the weaknesses?: Its maneuverability is not as great because of the rockered design, but it does give you very deep and true carves. Similar decks you have ridden?: Truly a one of a kind. Would you recommend it?: Yes My Jr. Dancer, Friday, 27 February 2009
