Summary: Bounce usually means light decks and weak bracing. Upgrade to heavier, well‑braced boards.


Spec checklist

  • 3/4‑inch Baltic birch deck
  • Cross‑braced under the top (and bottom if possible)
  • Approx. 40–45 lb per board
  • Stable frame joinery and flush hardware

Buying tips

  • Ask local directors what they use—match event specs when you can.
  • Look for reputable builders with pro‑level sets.

Final word

Build quality beats graphics. Heavier, braced boards calm bounce and sound better too.
