make sure you get some sweet bushings with this thing and have it tuned to your weight. this is a totally awesome board but i also wouldn't reccommend it for anyone over 6'4" or size 13 feet. i'm bigger than both and i will be trading for a bigger platform.

one thing that freaks people out is the shape of the board. its probably 5 inches in the tail and 3 on the nose but the shape of the deck curves way up in the middle and then drops down outside the trucks. like a bow with the wheels a bit on the inside.
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: 4 months
What is your setup like?: Stock soft risers
stock paris 150s
stock abec 5 greaseballs
abec11 strikers 66/81 add 50 to the price.

Typical Session Discipline: commute, carving, ditches
How much did you pay?: 150
Where did you purchase it?: no where worth mentioning
What were the strengths of the deck.: Its a hella light and flexy deck. my 200 pound frame fits nicely on the board and flexs it out rather well. Carves like a dream IF your trucks are as loose as my paris' are.
What were the weaknesses?: when i first started riding this, the stock 70/74 dregs were to big and would wheel bite constantly. SO FRUSTRATING!!! on a wise mans advice i tossed on the strikers and now its a carving dream. cheap wood chips easily.
Similar decks you have ridden?: carbon trylam form s9 is pretty close but the trylam has more camber.
Would you recommend it?: Yes
