alright, here's the pool king michael stefaun review, in case anyone searches for info on the deck or anything.
Flex: Here's what makes the board super different. I rode Michaels and it had a ton of flex that felt rad in the pool. I was worried about it for vert and put on some rails. has more flex than a standard 7ply without feeling noodley. Feels pretty cool actually. too flexy for me without the rails, perfect with.
speed: here's something weird, I found it much easier to build speed, same wheels and trucks than on my cab. I have no idea why, perhaps flex or having a balanced board.
concave. super mild. If it had a deep concave that I did I'd just buy ten of em now and be done. it's not like my foot is slipping off, but it doens't have that locked in feeling I like, ie on smith grinds.
size: 33.5 seems to be the magic number for me. My feet felt like they could go where they wanted, and grabs felt easier.
ollie: easier on this board than anything else I've ridden. I ollie like natas now. ollied over my van this morning.
Weight: 8 ounces lighter and you can definitely feel it.
Love the hell out of it except for the lack of concave, so i picked up a mini logo k15 8.5 x 33.5 181 shape for $23. I'll try that and see which one i like more.

Interesting. I wish I could loan you the Hot Rod Flames deck to see what you thought. This stuff interests me. But then it wouldn't be a wall hanger anymore. 
I think if I had access to a steady diet of vert, I'd put trucks and wheels on the FLAMES and ride the hell out of it. |

| yeah it would be cool to try. the board i bought is basically the same, just narrower. still 33.5 and k15 concave. Since I'm new to this (again) i'm basically just buying and trying different boards until i figure it out. |

I did that, and am doing that with wheels. 
I keep buying different wheels and leaving lightly used wheels that I have zero interest in riding all over the place.  |

| haha, yeah i did that too but got lucky pretty early on with some blank 60mm super hard (don't even know) wheels. I put the powell miller 58mm wheels on my kids board and those are pretty rad. 84b i think. |
