Santa cruz .. what can i say AMAZING as everyone is saying these decks are a little on the heavy side but that doesn't matter people. These decks have amazing pop and they keep it (some decks lose there pop after a while). They have a nice concave great for flip tricks i got mine as my second deck it has lasted me 9 months and still going strong. One thing to watch out for though is razor tail but if your careful you'll be fine with it.

This is an over all good board. I am indeed a novice at skateboarding and this is a great decks to learn on. It has a good amount of pop and a nice concave. Its a little heavy but it doesnt make a big difference if your just starting to learn. It has stood up to constant landings on 3 and 4 stairs and lots of bails on 5 and six stairs. As long as you dont razor tail your board this bad boy is not going to chip.

The other thing on these decks and how smooth they glide on a rail during a board slide! GEEZ did that scare me! It helps if your just learning how to do slides because you dont have to go to fast to go down a rail. If your looking for your 2nd or 3rd deck this is the way to go. I have had mine for about 2 monthes and it has been great. Seriously consider this on of your new deck.

These boards basiclly suck. You guys that say Ohh they are great don't know what you are talking about. These boards are way to heavy. Who cares about the pop and the concave if they are already to heavy to skate.GO ELEMENT!

alright heres the low down. these boards are a bit more heavy but the powerpro decks come with a warranty for 30 days against snapping. i have had my power pro for almost 2 months. thats the longest ive had a skate for a very long time. If you dont trust me well than too bad your missing out on a very good local company. Skateboarding began on the streets. Dont let it die on the strrets. AVOID THE MALL!

I've had 2 Santa Cruz boards. One early 80's deck that was a bullet vintage, an awesome board. It was so strong, I rode that thing for almost 5 years before I got a new Santa Cruz deck. Nothing compares to Rob Roskopp decks which aren't listed on this list.

Santa Cruz skateboards offers an excellent line of boards and trucks. S.C. boards last longer and will not snap on the big drops. The clothes are pretty weak but the location makes up for that.

I gave these skatesboards only a four because bing a technical skater, I need a thinner board and SC boards come pretty wide. A plus is the 8 ply wood gives it pop for a good amount of time before it loses it. I am personally a fan of the slick bottom boards.

I personally own a Santa Cruz long board and a trick deck. They both keep their pop for days. Their long boards have good flex for riding on bumpy roads.

I didn't like the feel. The graphics were cool but it was too heavy. They're fast and cool to cruise with, but not for tricks.

Santa Cruz skateboards are excelente! They keep their pop and stiffness, and are pretty sturdy boards. It's nice to ride a local board too. Santa Cruz also has a good variety of clothing. They have good taste.

Santa Cruz skateboards are worth every penny. The best wood in the business enables their decks to keep their pop longer and their rigidity forever. The price is the element that makes them worth it. For about $35 you get the graphics, pop, strength and warranty of a much more expensive board.

Santa Cruz makes the best skateboards in the world. Their boards are way too expensive. Their boards are so durable and you can do any combination of tricks and not worry.

This brand is popular with my friends. The style is right for me. They make great long boards. They are fairly local. I could go to Santa Cruz on the weekend.

The Santa Cruz decks are what I consider to be the most colorful and artistic. They can reflect certain syles and motifs.

It has a lot of jazz and it looks cool, yet it skates soft and smooth, and there's different prices available for different people.

It's very reliable. It has good balance, good gliding, and above all, hard to break (invincible).

Santa Cruz is really popular in the Bay Area and I try to support it because I go to school at San Jose state. I don't really like Santa Cruz designs. Some of them are really great, but it seems to me that they don't carry enough products for girls which in turn is very disappointing.
