Just got an Almost Haslam Impact board, and I'm totally digging the concave. Much more mellow than my Mini Logo K12 "hella concave".

My question is:

Do skateboard brands use the same concave for all boards, or each pro model will have a different concave, as well as a different size and shape?

OR... does a brand like Almost use the same concave on all their boards?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Every deck has a different concave.

for me ill ususaly buy multiple decks of the same brand and there usualy all the same concave for each company. it might be different for some companies though that have a variety of different types of skaters but i know for girl and baker and zoo york there the same for all there boards

What is the concave specifically? is it along the width of the board or where thenose/tail starts to form?

Concave refers to how flat or curved the board is, from side to side.

Hmm... maybe I just better stick with the Haslam boards. whatever that concave is works perfect for me.

Is Almost known for mellow concaves?

Zero is known for mellow concaves. Almost boards don't sound to great to me.

My almost sucked but the concave was the best I've ever had except for my anti-hero.
