To be clear, I’m not sponsored and I have no idea about the environmental impact of them, I just think these Kape boards feel great and deserve more love. I’ve been eyeing them for a while, finally bit the bullet and bought one.

As someone who breaks boards a lot(went through 3 wood decks while this was being shipped to me), these are a lifesaver. I’ve tried everything, flight decks, vx, the volcanic stone antihero, but it feels like you always trade breaking a board for chipping and delaminating. These don’t do either. The plastic has almost no resistance on slides, it sounds and feels like a wood board and the shape of the 8.5 is similar to a Baker mellow concave. The only downside I’ve found is that it is a bit heavier but I like a weighty board.
