If you consider the fact that some of these boards last up to 10 times longer than traditional maple decks, but are around 2 or 3 times the cost, they are definitely worth the money. If you can afford the initial outlay, you’ll have a board that has long-lasting pop and that you can really get accustomed to and lock in your tricks with. This is one of the real advantages of a carbon fiber board — you are not constantly setting up new decks which can take some time to “break-in”.
