Shipping took a week or so internationally, standard time really. It came in some cool packaging, and arrived in perfect condition. 10/10
First impressions were soo good, I absolutely loved the colour of the deck! I'm a huge fan of yellow bottom plies, and this is a really nice yellow. Great looking shape and craftsmanship too, the only thing I did notice is that I couldn't tell which way round it should go. 9.5/10
Craftsmanship on this deck is really nice, the shape is perfect and its pressed evenly throughout. Great rounding on the edges and on the kicks that's all even, and makes for a consistent and nice 32mm board. Perfect holes too (which made setup a breeze), and even though kingpin holes are in my opinion an unneeded and outdated hole, they were nicely done too. 10/10
Performance really blew me away, its definitely one of the nicest decks I've tried with this much concave! The shape is a medium (quite a generous medium though) concave and medium kicks, which is not something I'm used to at all in terms of concave. However I managed to get all my tricks on it after not much getting used to, the great craftsmanship and pop helped with that a lot. Tricks seemed to suck up to your fingers on catches due to not long, but not short kicks, and I suppose also the concave. Overall its a really nice shape, that feels an almost perfect length for a 32mm deck. My main dislike with this deck is the shape of the kicks, there's no distinction between nose or tail. It might sound like that's preference, but after all the time I used this, what ever way around I used it, it would end up feeling like the nose was a tail, because they're both like tails. A slightly bigger nose would have made for a much better ride, as well as an easier setup working out which way to put it. There's not much else to say about it negatively, it pops nicely, is a shape you can get used to whatever your preference, AND it has nice shiny lacquer to help slides slide. I did chip the tiniest bit (like 0.5mm squared) out of the lacquer, but it didn't seem to scratch otherwise. 9/10
Overall this deck does a lot right, certainly in the way its put together. The shape is nice, and whilst us low deck lovers will take a bit of getting used to on this, it certainly doesn't take that much. When you're there you've got a deck that rides really nicely, and looks great too, especially for the price. I talked to the owner already and he said that he's going to work on bigger noses, so if you want that I'm sure you can ask before you buy. Right now though despite its very few flaws, and time it takes to get used to, I think you can do a lot worse than to pick one of these up. 9.25/10
