Stefaun's roots are in street skating. Therefore, it's only natural that his pool shape closely resembles the traditional, double-end, twin tip shape that so many street decks incorporate. Michael's Pool King deck is constructed using polymer composites and 5 plys of hard rock maple veneers. Pool Kings claim these are 8 ounces lighter than standard 7 ply wood decks of the same size and shape and retain their "pop" for a longer time as well.

this was a great slider. not exactly ideal for really technical slides because of it fairly long wheelbase compared to more dedicated sliders out there. but it could still pull its fair share. also, being grav and all, it was built like a tank. many-a-curb hit and smashing/chipping was never a problem.

this is a good all around board. good carver, decent at speed, and superficially pleasing (if youre a natural wood fan). but the grip it came with kinda sucked. it wasnt very coarse and it wore relatively quickly.
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: about six months before i sold it.
What is your setup like?: at first it was on r2 180s and gumballs but switched it out to tracker 149 darts and flashies.
Typical Session Discipline: carver
What were the strengths of the deck.: its a classic shape and comes with beautiful laminates. great beginner board. not too much flex to freak you out, but stiff enough to keep a responsive ride.
What were the weaknesses?: the clear grip sucked. the grip wasnt coarse at all and it wore rather quickly. its applied directly to the deck, it wasnt griptape. so if you wanted to regrip, youd have to scrape the old grip off.
Would you recommend it?: Yes
