So here we go DGK Stevie Delight deck review.
First Impressions: I really wanted to try a Kayo deck so I decided to go for a DGK. Before I skated this deck I skated 7.75 and this was my first 7.8 deck. The guy let me hold it had a nice shape and didn't feel heavy. Stood on it and it felt like a still solid board.
Shape/Concave: Shape is beautiful 10/10. The nose and tail were very similar except that the nose was a little wider and the tail a little steeper which I like. I'd have to say that both the nose and tail had close to the same steepness. I'd say the concave was medium but a little mellower, but still more medium than mellow. I had no problem getting a nice flick off the board to get flip tricks started.
Pop: 12/10 Seriously. Board had alot of pop that felt very crisp. The deck is razor tailed like adfjaklfa and still has good pop.
Durability: 8/10 I've had this board for a little more than a month and a half and it has held up nicely. I've constantly done tricks off a five set near my house and the board still feels nice and stiff. The board didn't start chipping till about a month in because I fucked up on those stairs a couple of times and had the nose/tail head straight into the ground. The board razor tailed but what board doesnt? I tried/practiced alot of manueling on this board compared to previous boards. I didn't really try manuels up until this board. And the tail scraping added to how fast the board razor tailed.
Overall: 9.5/10 This is my favorite board. Kayo does a good job with there decks. DGK/Kayo boards won't dissapoint.
