I bought this pintail longboard as a way of finally getting into longboarding and it has continued to impress even after a few days of riding it (well trying to at least). Now a few weeks down the line it's safe to say that this doubledown longboard is exactly what I needed, providing a very smooth & comfortable ride while also being able to handle & carve effortlessly. This longboard has impressed me so much that I've even recommended it to family & friends wanting to try something new.
