Review:
Well I have had this deck for 5 months now and I have had a chance to test it in a variety of arenas, be it big bouncy water, technical drops, surfing or playboating.
The deck is still in perfect condition, even though I go through decks very quickly due to excessive use. The Kevlar rim has on several occasions saved the deck from being torn & worn from doing rescues to clipping rocks!

The deck itself doesn’t let in any water and I have done some serious drops and been in some sets where previous decks would have imploded. This deck has however stood firm with these problems thrown at it.

I have however had a minor problem of delamination of seams around the deck. Although minor I would have expected these to have occurred at a later stage in the decks life! This has however not made it leak so i'm not that worried!
