Oh my uhm I can remember some of the decks

I rode some flatfaces, a finga deck, a low pro, a prete metal deck, some berlinwoods, a yellowood, a evolve deck, a holywood... and some other stuff I can't really remember, needless to say, I had a lot of fingerboards, to many actually. I never really had a favorite deck... I just rode what ever I had with me at that time.

lol I will look into the Pure decks but no complys store is pretty buggy , in fact, I can't even get on.

[b] Most of the time I like decks with pretty high kicks and some nice medium/deep concave. So if you know of any decks that are like that, you can also recommend those.

Tech Deck Expert Sk8
Tech Deck Wood Competition Series G2 (Wooden Concave)
Close Up G5 high concave
Close Up G4
Evolve - all 3 molds are pretty hardcore
Bollie New Shape
Northwoods FB

If you don't need those specs, all of the other suggestions posted are good. I also highly rate Pure decks.

Do you know where I can pick up an evolve deck ?

Are you on FFI? You could PM the owner, Jader.

Here are all the distributors for Evolve:
Flatface (USA), Fingerboardstore (Germany), Cartoleria Le Coccinelle (Italy), Massacre Shop and Fingerstore (Brazil) and also, Panda&Monio Skateshop (Brazil)

i would sugest no comply roll 9 wheels china trucks and homewood custom deck http://www.homewoodfb.com/smokestackdeck.html as you can have them custom to how you want it

Thanks for all these suggestions! I will definitely take a look at all of these

I quite like Redemption decks! Really strong and set at a fair price.

to be fair.. there's than many shapes and sizes out there its hard to suggest any... I used to love 27mm 29 max with hig kicks and concave but now i cant use them. ive converted to 32+ with low kicks and flat concave...

try and get a few second hand cheep decks and find that perfect one

This is a deck Ryan Marshment(Temple owner) made for me, he went out of his way to make me a 32.5mm deck when he has a 31mm template. I don't have it YET, but through the pictures I can already tell it fits my preference and is such a well made deck. For 17 dollars it's a steal.

Here's some pics.

I think your best bet would be a Zink. They have an amazing shape. Perfect medium, in my opinion. For 15 bucks it's such a steal. Really would recommend a Zink.

Wheels? Maybe just some Roll9s because they're super cheap and have a gooooood smooth roll. 22 bucks and then shipping, also a great steal.

Trucks? Just get some from No Comply.

All the No Comply stuff can be found of aphlikshunfingerboards.com for now, since the No Comply site is down.

email todd and you can get nocomply stuff aswell

@callum Yes! Homewood make a range of different styles of decks and are an awesome company that contributes to the scene.

@Henry Redemptions are great decks but very mellow. The OP specified med concave/high kicks and even my custom Redemption MC mold (medium concave) deck feels too mellow to be called medium concave.

@Gilly he did specify preferences but it is a great idea to try out decks first.

i would try homewood or lovedrug. lovedrug decks take no time to get used to and have quite deep concave and medium kicks. Plus, they cost like 11 bucks. Homewood decks are a lil pricey but are completely custom all the way to the ply colors.
