I have the heist and it is seriously the best board you will ever ride! I would definitly look into it if I was you. Anyways on the the company, the board has a amazing quality everything is hand made here in the u.s. They are definitly on the next level of boards when it comes to construction, my board has carbon fiber stringers intertiwned with fiberglass. Which makes it rediculously flexy and sturdy. I can be going down the road bottoming it out All day long. At each tip they put P-Tex in them so if you hit something with it you just heat up the ends and clamp it back together. Summary: amazing quality,very responsive, flexible as anything you will ride, very cheap compared to a dervish and I think my board is better, paired with the best accesories ie. Paris trucks. I think that is it for my novel of the day. Hope that helped!

I have the descent, and it is soooooooooooooooooo sick.

Its pretty flexible, so its really fun to carve, especially when you have good trucks and semi-soft wheels. It can also descently bomb hills. I love this thing so much. Get it if you're just looking for an all around good board and something you can bring everwhere (it's pretty light)

Get it.

oh and plus they have a 3 year warranty, which almost NO other longboard companies do, and like the guy befor me said, they are built rediculously well (p-tex, fiberglass, carbon fiber)

i have the heist as well. it is so much fun. the board is so flexy. the drop through deck makes it so easy to slide. very responsive. bumpers are a life saver. definitely get a never summer board.

I have the Eclipse. Such a nice board. Paris trucks and the NS wheels are pretty decent. Use my board everyday and it just keeps giving back. Not too expensive, but not a cheaply made board. Flexy as hell. Such a nice board for everything, cruising, bombing. Definately get a Never Summer

I was trying to decide between the swift and concept last year but ended up going with the swift. Absolutely sick board, enough flex to cruise around town and get some good carvin in, but has enough length to bomb some hills without being over responsive and getting wobbles. Think about putting some new wheels on and maybe look into some swiss six ball bearings. I kept the trucks because i seem to prefer the stock paris trucks over others.

The swift has a "new" shape. Kick-tail, cambered, while the concept is as they say "modern pintail", not cambered, more "traditional".

my friend worked in the facrory interning building them, even though they are expensive, if they are set up right, they are such sick carving boards, and some of their other ones are dope too

They aren't very expensive at all? Why do you say that?
