I've really been getting into super tapered tails lately, seems to keep my ollies a little more consistent.

Chapman wood is my favorite. I really like Hopps and Hotel Blue boards... nice and stiff.

If Chapman wood is not available, I usually go for Generator wood (Polar, Magenta, Traffic or Krooked mainly)

Typically I ride a deluxe 8.25 mellow concave as of late. I skated Chapman wood up until last year but I feel chapmans lose pop quickly.

I never had a shop/local deck, but I do think it would be nice to «support the local scene» by getting one. I like to have some graphics though and the shops in my city only do very simple boards with the shop logo, but they’re pretty cheap so I might get one if I’m in a pinch some time.
I also like this one local brand, they do limited runs and only one graphic at a time. Current one’s not as nice as the previous one, but the guys who do it are nice people and deserve some support.

My next board’s still probably gonna be a «pro» board though, because I’ve been eyeing that Oskar Rozenberg deck in a P9 shape.
