I am going to be very brief and short as i can make it. I got a Foundation deck back in April. I don't know what the model is called but i have uploaded some images of it. Alright the photo below was taken moments after i bought it. There isn't much background history on this deck. I bought this deck at West 49 because i walked into their store and it was on sale for 49.99 and at the same time they had a no tax sale so i saved a couple a dollars.

GRAPHIC
Alright, the graphic wasn't really my thing i don't really like the hearts but i didn't care much for it, so thats your own opinion if you like it or not when you look at it. 0/0

SHAPE
But right when i stepped onto this deck i knew it was for me, it had a nice pop, like this thing was nice and snappy. loved it. Concave was perfect, it wasn't shallow where it was flatten out in a couple of months and it wasn't to deep, this was my really my favorite deck. 10/10

DURABILITY
This is it's biggest downfall. It was absolute crap. The very next day i bought it i took it to a nice sized 5 set, and it snapped on the back tail just ollieing! I am not going to give it a horrible mark because it was my mistake to buy it from West 49, who probably held onto this deck for 2 years and put it up for sale because it didn't sell. So it gets a passing mark because i do not know if it was truly a defect, by some of the images you can tell the glue between the plys are gone. 5/10

The weight was pretty standard i did not notice it being very heavy which is a pretty good thing. It was a very nice deck, definitely would risk trying another one, I recamend to try one, put Foundation's name to the test!

I was there when this happened, it was a shame it didn't even last 24 hours. Very nice deck too
