Popwars are sweet, awesome pop and concave, but a little weird shape at first.

Popwar - It has really good pop as the name implies and lasted the whole time that i had the board. (about two months). The shape is different than what most people are used to. The tail is kind of short and the nose is kind of long, but doesn't take long to get used to and now it is my favourite shape. The wood seems kinda soft and it does get razor tail farely quick, but not as quick as some other boards. The concave varies depending on what model you get. The cairo foster boards have quite mellow concave where the Timtim models have very steep concave. I had the good things team deck and is seemed to be about average. My board lasted me 2 months and at 1 month it cracked while i was doing lipslides. But it was still skatable and i continued to skate it for another month until i snapped it trying a 5 set. For being such a great board and having so much pop i think it was worth the money even if it didn't last 4 months.

Popwar also has a line of boards out called "drop tech" it has a teardrop shaped piece of fiberglass inserted in the tail almost centered over the back bolts. Some people say that this makes the tail stiff and brittle where as other people say it is the strongest board they have ever skated. I personally haven't skated this type of board and will not comment on it. There is also another line out called "slick drops" they contain drops of lubricant throughout the plys in the nose and tail. Which is supposed to give you longer and more consistant noseslides/tailslides.
