Description:
The Arbor Prodigy is any drop deck lover's dream. This downhill machine comes in with 1/4" of drop but has the most absolute locked in feeling when paired up with the 5/8" of rocker and a mellow W concave. The combination of these elements lets you know where your feet are at all times and gives you superior leverage, just to top off all the goodness. Whether it's downhilling or freeriding, you'll be extremely comfortable and confident on this board. So take it out to the biggest hills with your friends and be the first one to the bottom!

Beautiful just aint my thang
When I first got this board, i cuddled it to sleep every night and woke up to shred it.
However over time there were many things that kind of ruined this board for ME, however would not for some other people. Ill do a pro and cons thing and since im the only review... Itll be lengthy. I've been riding this board for 6 months. Please keep in mind that what I consider a con or a prop others might consider opposite.
Pros:
- ultra stable. You would have to be riding sidewinders to wobble.
- most beautiful looking board on the market.
- amazingly durable.
- Koa veneer keeps water out
- high inertia make you go faster than James Kelly (not literally but you know)
- super responsive at speed.
- wheel bite was never an issue. I don't suggest fly wheels but i have run captain riders on it to test it.
Cons:
- heavy as shit. Seriously, when kicking out slides youre going to be breathing heavy by the end of your run. Also if youre not balanced itll actually get away from you and cause it to slip out from under you.
- concave is uh... Special... This was probably the biggest turn off for me. Where your feet are supposed to be when sliding the awesome rocker concave totally disappears creating foot slip central on both ends. The W ends there too which is nice but suddenly you have absolutely nothing to keep you in place. Even with vicious i was slipping on occasion.
- too many plys. It has 11. 7 maple and 2 plexi would be fine.
- for me, its too long. Its 38 inches long but where your feet go i have to stretch my legs more than usual. Im on the shorter side (5"6) so if you have 2 or 3 inches on me youre probably fine.
- pretty high off the ground (some people like that, i just thought it was excessive)
- since its so stiff it can be loud with high duro wheels but thats true for any board
- obviously no kicks.
I know its kind of hard to find solid reviews on this board because it doesn't seem ultra popular but there my 2 cents. Hope it helped. Sorry it was lengthy.

Steeeezy
I was very skeptical on purchasing this board because of the w concave cause I don't like it a whole lot however you do not feel it ag all in a freeride stance and your downhill stance your foot fits nicely in between the edge and w. The drop is prefect and makes your front foot feel right at home. I'm 5'10" 220 and this board has no issues with my fat ass on it

PEEL. STICK. ART.
This month, all orders over $19.95 get the newest sticker of the month. When robots take over the world, it will surely be more or less like when humans did: Some will be jerks, some will gather all the power, and some will just want to shred. Ted Cocuzza envisions a world where robots still have the freedom to throw a steezy layback grind on a DIY spot when they feel the need.
As always, every order will come with two free classic Daddies stickers at no cost. We know... we're sweet.
SPREAD THE WORD!
