I love decks with steep concave can someone tell me of a company who makes boards with nice deep/steep concave?
The only boards ive had have been either Girls and Chocolates whose concave is quite mellow. The deck im riding now is my local shop deck and the concave is awesome, not mellow/flat at all.
so when my shop deck dies, i'll probably get the same one but if you guys point me in the direction of a pro model deck with what im looking for that would be great
Ive heard DLX Dist. decks are amazing but i havent really taken time to look at the concave/shape at my shop so if yoou could post pics i'd appreciate it
Pics would be great, not only of the board but of the shape/side/concave.
Thanks!
posi i guess if you help me

That looks nice.
Although ive heard bad things about bakers.
(not lasting long, bad response/pop, soggy)
How do you like yours

i loved mine, i had it for a while and it kept its pop. it chipped kinda easy, but i didn't really notice it affecting the board's pop.

zoo yorks have steep concave, thats for sure
and from what i've seen, from DLX, krookeds have more concave than real or anti-hero
but i could be wrong
i think the best thing to do, is either stick to another shop deck, or go to the skate shop and grab boards you like, step on them, and feel the concave out for yourself

I'd say theyre decent better than element and better than almost for sureeeeee. My friend had his for 3 weeks kept its concave all the way through, but the pop was still there but you could tell it like lost some

If you go on the Skatewarehouse website, they started a new feature from now on of taking pictures of the concave of the boards, like this:

The most concave I've had was probably my last habitat, I didn't like it though, I've seen more concave on this kid's deck which was apparently a "bling king" but fucks me what that is, again it wasn't good.
I don't see the value in excessive concave, it's gotta be just right for me, and I like a heap of flat in the middle with some lipping up around the edges but nothing crazy.
I hate decks where you're literally standing on the concaved egdes noticably above the rest of the board, like the edges are sticking up digging into your feet, shit is fucked.
