I'd recommend this board to any big dude who wants to cruise, do tricks and simply wants to have a good time!

Longboard Review

How long have you ridden the board: 3 days
What is your setup like?: Randal II 180 with red Khiro Bitches (running them pretty loose)
Lime Abec Freerides and VXB red bearings
No risers.
Typical Session Discipline: Cruising, carving, tricks
How much did you pay?: 130 (including international shipping)
Where did you purchase it?: Directly from Earthwing
What were the strengths of the deck.: The board is great for big dudes, it's wide (I have the new version) and it flexes really nicely under my weight (240).

I haven't really ridden decks with this amount of concave before, but i like it. It locks in your feet and is comfortable.
What were the weaknesses?: Compared to the oldschool poolboard I was riding, it's a little less agile. This took a little getting used to.

Also, since I only had the board for a couple of days, I can't say anything about the long term durability of the board. (Although this is supposed to be quite good).
Similar decks you have ridden?: None really, a home made board and a gecko which kind of compare. But the superglider is so much nicer!
Would you recommend it?: Yes
