I am looking for a good deck to try that is 32mm and I have heard good things about Blosom decks.

Is Blosom a reliable company? are the decks good? are they worth the price?

and last but not least: If they are good, when are they coming back in stock? (if anyone knows)

Best decks on the market, by far.

I've got 3 of my own (2 x 30.5mm, 1 x 26mm) and they're sooo consistent.
I've used loads of 32.5mm Blosom's at various events and meetups etc, they're absolutely amazing, £20 is a steal for such a deck! The colours and ply's make them really recognizable as Blosom decks too shocked

I doubt I'll be using anything else as a main any time soon very happy

The next stock will most likely be on fingersized in the next few months, last year the stocks popped up every few months so I guess this year might be similar, although deck making is slowed down in the winter because of the weather. Definitely worth the wait though!

I must admit i got a Blosom after hearing all the hype, an it certainly didnt disappoint,
Easily the nicest deck I have in my collection, I havent used another deck since the day I got it,

I am expecting a Lovedrug in the mail at somepoint an i am very exited to try that out, although i cant comment on the quality of the lovedrug till i get it, i can tell you it was hella cheap!

My thoughts on Blosom decks:

They are easily one of the top fingerboard deck brands in existence.

Even if you have a non-graphic deck, the plies used and lacquer look amazing and they have a great range of graphics too. The shape is handcrafted very professionally and are very consistent. In terms of aesthetics and performance, I doubt you will find anything to complain about. I've tried many Blosom decks from the oldest 30.5mm decks to the newer 32.5mm ones. I also own a one-of-a-kind 25mm Blosom.

Personally, I don't think there is one brand of fingerboard which is better than all others and it's down to each individual fingerboarder's preferences. However, most people in the current fingerboard era prefer extra wide decks and Blosom caters to this preference. As for everything else, the craftsmanship is awesome and they're a great company that supports the scene.

When I first purchased wooden fingerboard decks for the first time, I also questioned whether it was worth the price. If you are a keen fingerboarder and wish to improve on yourself, a good complete setup is a worthy investment. When you compare fingerboard decks to skateboard decks, fingerboard decks rarely snap if at all. If you're going to put in enough use, it is easily worth it. There are also some fingerboards, including Blosoms, that are arguably worth its own price in artistic value.

Don't buy Blosoms.

Just kidding.

I will not comment on how I like the shape because it is pretty much irrelevant to your preferences. But what I can say is that the decks are all very consistent and the craftsmanship is pretty dang close to, if not flawless. You can hardly tell that all the decks are made by hand, actually. That is how good they are. It's a great shape, and the pop is amazing. Plies are all firmly pressed together to give it a nice feel that isn't too thick. Ross also makes beautiful bottom plies. I'd say if you haven't tried one, definitely get one. Whether you will like the shape will really be up to your preferences, but give it a go.

Really good decks at a sensible price.
They have a nice kick height and perfect, comfortable mellow concave.
They have quite a chunky nose, but the nose and tail are both perfectly round.

Finally, Ross, the owner, is a cool guy and supporting blosom is essentially supporting the uk scene.
