Churchill Apple Deck Review

41.75″x9.87″x31.5″ wheelbase made from 9ply USA Grown and Harvested Hardrock Maple with a 5/8″ Elliptical Hybrid Concave. The all new APPLE features a Top Mount Twin Double Kick and has an even more functional design.

Comet Shred 38 Deck Review

The comet shred city 38 is the biggest of the comet's shred series and is one awesome hybrid. This board is long enough that you can put both your feet on the trucks and can still pop a kickflip. It is more of a freeriding hybrid board rather than techsliding because of its size. Smaller freeride wheels are better on this board so you don't get wheelbite. Around 65mm wheels would be ideal.

Longboard Larry Double Kick Penguin Board Review

The double kick penguin from longboard larry is an amazing board. This handmade board is made to perfection and is pressed with maple, bamboo, and a layer or fiberglass, keeping it strong. It features huge kicks, perfect for any trick, and a nice concave with drops, keeping you locked in during slides. The standing platform is somewhat small, but is very easy to get used to because of the pockets. Also, this deck is very light compared to other boards that are the same length. It is definitely worth the expensive price. Since it also has a good sized wheelbase and very little flex if any, you could even set it up for some light downhill!

Questions? Post them below!

***DK Penguin info from LongboardLarry

The DK Penguin locks your feet in pockets like the Penguin but has a 2" shorter platform and some awesome kicks. Still has 5/8" drop into the bath tub concaved pockets that lock your feet in then back up 1/8" to a radial concave down the middle of the deck. If the pockets were not enough we added kicks to take your freeriding to the next level.
We press this deck with a layer of fiberglass, bamboo and maple.

Rayne Avenger Board Review!

A local racer was selling this for cheap so I decided to buy it and try it out. I just happened to love this board!

Here are the
Specs:

Length- 38"
Width- 10"
Wheel Base- 28.25, 29, 29.25, 30"

In general, this board is amazing for freeride and downhill. The wheelbase options are good because the shortest wheelbase makes the board quite responsive for freeride and the longest wheelbase makes the board stable for downhill. The wheel wells are also really nicely placed. You could definitely run huge wheels with a little riser. I am riding 70mm wheels without risers and it is fine.

One thing about this board is that it tapers quite a bit in the back and people with bigger feet might find this a little bit uncomfortable.

The rayne avenger's concave is super nice. There is a pleasure dome, or W, in the middle of the board which keeps you locked in when tucking. The edges of the board are also really sharp so you can really dig your heels or toes in for slides.

I would definitely recommend this board and will be riding it for quite some time, so if you have any questions, comment on this post and I will answer pretty quickly. Thanks for reading!
