Hi everyone! This review is on the Vividwood new mold split-ply.
Shipping: This took 2 days to get from Sydney, Australia, to Perth, Australia. Very fast, came in a little mailer, super stoked on that!
10/10First impressions: The board itself blew me away! Looked amazing at first sight, the packaging was spot on and it came with china trucks and wheels, 2 pieces of tape, and extra O-rings. (I ordered the complete). Top ply was a super nice exotic as well.
9.5/10Craftsmanship: This board is truly beautiful. The deck is pressed well, perfectly rounded (although its a bit more 'boxy'), and the ply's are vibrant. the split bottom ply is well done, with no gaps and fits flush together. Lacquer is super smooth, no bubbles, hasn't chipped or cracked yet. The logo on the top ply is a nice touch too. Honestly such a nice board.
9.5/10Performance: This deck has a really nice ride with comfy mellow concave. The deck itself is 96x33, so shorter and wider. As more of a high concave longer deck kind of guy, it took me a while to get used to this deck, but when I did it just felt right. The flatter kind of concaveand lower, stubby kicks give you a really nice style when you pop tricks it.
Super strong deck, does not bend a tiny bit. I just have to say that the nose is not higher or longer than the tail, imo. Super fun though, easy to get tricks down on.
9/10Overall: This is a great deck! For fans of short, wide, mellow decks, this is the go to. Looks beautiful, feels amazing, great quality, what more do you need? Definitely pick one up
Overall Score: 9.5/10 Go pick one up from vividwood
