its just a fun board. it may not have all the big brand name logos and graphics but the construction is sound. if youre looking for a cheap/beginner board, look no further. youve found it. hell, i would even reccomend this to the more advanced riders looking for a pin shape.
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: however long last quarter was, it was my friends
What is your setup like?: r2 180s and 70mm classic k krypts
Typical Session Discipline: commuting, carving
What were the strengths of the deck.: its a classic shape with super functional cutouts. the combination of camber, mellow concave, and the feel of maple flex just works.
What were the weaknesses?: none that i could think of.
Would you recommend it?: Yes

theyre cuper cush because of its huge thane depth. super grippy because of its offset bearing seat and flexi lips, but they can slide a little because of deformation.

What Setup are you running them on?: 44 fibreflex pin, 150 randals, 72 avilas

What are their weaknesses?: because of it huge lip, they like to deform at speed and get all slidy. and the 72s like to chunk fairly easily, but theyre 72s, what can you expect.
