Anyone have much experience on Habitat decks? I've actually never bought one and I have a chance of picking up a couple for some basement prices. Just curious if they are pretty solid decks or not. I know they are done by DNA who also do AW, but I've never had any luck with AW decks lasting any length of time. Plus, to me AW decks flex too much. Standing on the raw deck the Habitat concave felt decent if a bit shallow. Thanks.

Here is the deck I can get: (Not buying from these guys. Just pics for reference.)

i'm actually skating a habitat deck now. the deck itself is strong. i couldnt tell any difference in strength of this board compared to the girl that i just stopped skating. I'm 6'3 160 if that means anything

Ill tell you right now my Hab deck i got many many years ago was BY FAR the best feeling deck Ive had in years..... such good concave and feel.....

Im a little smaller at 5'8 130 pounds, so Im not one to break decks anyways....

man Im a huge Hab Fan

Hab and Toy Machine are my favs (along with foundation)

Thanks guys. Think I'll grab them since I can get 3 of them for $60 total.
If they hold up as well as a Girl or Toy Machine deck, then $20 each isn't gonna bother me.
These days I usually stick with my Santa Cruz decks since I bought a stack of the 1-800's
awhile back, but I'm on my last one and it is getting some nasty stress fractures.
