Is there a reason besides personal preference that you want a deck with lots of concave?

I find that kinda odd. I've always had more pop on a middlegrouñd kinda concave/kick, and still prefer flatter boards. Then again my favorite boards ever were adrenaline

I'm sure it depends on many variables and I'm talking more about nose/tail kick but it has always felt like I get more pop with a steeper tail. I'm a toe on the tip for bigger ollies type and go more pocket for the flips.

I hear ya. I've always liked a bigger nose and get more pop on nollie tricks but the opposite is true if I turn the board around and skate it lol. I also like a more blunt shape. The adrenaline decks were shaped more like an FA with a blunt nose/tail, those fuckers gave me pop.

concave helps more with grip and flip tricks.

Physics would say you can get more pop with a higher kick in the nose or tail, PS Stix has a mold that has an extra kick at the tip of the nose and tail.  I personally hated it because I would miss my nose or tail hitting the ground when I tried to do anything.  The flatter the better for me, tail/nose hits the ground faster and flips way easier.  The set of trucks you skate are going to make a difference as well.  I'm sure Paul Schmitt has a video explaining this.

i usually don't like having a gutter under my feet BUT the last reasonably-high concave board i had helped catching flip / shove tricks too.

Bacon feel crazy. They are so steep, feels like skating tip toed

One more vote for Bacon.
The tail kicks are steep too, I stopped riding mine on bowls just because I hated dropping in with the board pointing up higher than my erection.

Also just got my && deck, it’s concave is way harsher than I was expecting

How is that deck? I am really interested in it.
Would you mind posting a picture (in the setup thread)?

So I have been skating Quasi decks exclusively for the past 2 years, and the other day I stepped on my friends board which was like a shop deck or something...but it had a lot of concave. I liked how it felt when I ollied on it.

So I came to Slap to ask which skate deck brands generally have the biggest concave..after repeatedly getting the response Dwindle. I ended up buying a Louie Barletta deck

Pennswood’s deep concave is the steepest I’ve seen with South Central being a close second.

Scumco (Pennswood) calls their deep dish concave. I’ve had Politic, Bacon and DOA from South Central and they have all had similarly steep concave. All feel awesome

I bought this deck cuz the shape was sick and the day I was gonna set it up I noticed that the tail barely had kick to it. I didn’t set it up. Should I have? Someone mentioned they like the mellow kick, should I not have bitched out and rode it?

Anyone skate this? Need to hear your feedback

I wonder when convex decks are going to be the hottest thing?

Should be in “Shoes & Gear”, but I agree with those promoting the Scumco deep dish. Grabbed a Ty Beall off the wall of my local shop last weekend and that thing was crazy! Even my girlfriend noticed how steep it was...

Skated with a dude that had a deep dish and it was insane looking. I’ve only have the kiddie pool and silver spoon but that deep dish looked wild
