bbs - the gold standard for me, it’s the best feeling wood. i’m not gonna say much, yall already know.
ps stix - great shapes, but the wood itself was trash in my experience, they snapped like toothpicks. too bendy from the start and never lasted over two weeks.
crail - solid boards, nice shapes and i like the flatter concave. they last a decent while too. not my favorite, but if i had to skate only crail boards i wouldn’t be mad. edit: i forgot to say, they're stiffer than a bbs which is why i like them less.
dsm (resin 7) - pretty good boards, they last long and i think that they keep their shape the best out of all woodshops i tried. that’s not necessarily a good thing though since the shapes are kinda weird, i’m not a fan of the steep kicks. they chip a little easier than others too, but it’s not a dealbreaker, like it’s not that bad. a little too stiff for my liking. don’t bother with the pricepoints.
hlc - even though bbs is the gold standard, hlc has been my favorite recently. great shapes, nice mellow concave, a little more flexy than bbs but definitely stiffer than ps, maybe a tiny bit more prone to snapping but still durable, and usually much cheaper in europe, which is always a plus
quarter dist (germany) - china boards marked as “superply”. mellow shapes, which liked and decent wood, i’d describe the feeling as a premium price point. a little different than your usual skateboard but performs well enough and is fairly long lasting. stiff at first, but gets flexier after a few sessions.
artprint (france) - china boards with interesting shapes. they have a nice short 8 3/8. good quality wood, it’s a little better than quarter maybe, but they’re comparable. these boards feel more like your usual deck. pretty stiff, but they last a decent while.
clutch - alright shapes, but not durable. they chip easily and snap easily. worse than ps stix.
control - i had a few and i have mixed feelings. the worst control board i had was worse than any ps, but the best control board i had felt almost as good as a bbs. i definitely recommend giving them a try to people that like flat boards though. inconsistent, but decent.
nibiru (poland) - awful, but they’re made in a basement, so i still recommend buying one if you get a chance.
here’s a lil ranking
bbs>hlc>crail>control>dsm>artprint>quarter>ps stix>clutch
there’s a gap between quarter and ps though
