Fun Board

By Ranked #39 - Boards January 19, 2013

So I ordered a 149 which is too small for me but it ended up being really fun. I got a 156.5 DC PLY that fits me alot better as my main board. I use the Tone as a backup board now when my PLY is in the shop. Anyway, this is a really fun board. It holds its own on some bigger jumps (even with it being too small) so im sure if I got a 156 it would be great, but it presses surprisingly well and is super fun on rails and boxes (hasnt hung up on me yet). It doesnt catch very easily and I found its easier than my PLY to land spins with. DC makes amazing bases. I dont get stuck in flat spots even on slower days. This has the same base as my PLY and I havent had to wax after 4 days so far. Id recommend this board to anyone. It can do it all. It rides easy for beginners and its playful but responsive for any kind of advanced rider. I wish I got it in the right size cause it really is a great board.
