The board is very sturdy and gives a much smoother ride than a 22" penny board so it is great for beginners. I first rode on the 22" and it was just as fine but less space for my feet but it is more convenient to carry but the 27" is also light weight. The color is much darker in real life than in the photos, its not the light green as depicted more like a teal color? But the shipping was very fast, it came in five days and it came in a normal brown box so nobody was tempted to steal it. I was able to track my order very easily and see where it was headed. I gave this four stars because of the color difference and also the "paint" was kinda chipped which was disappointing because a big selling point of the stringer was the stripes on the back. :( 27" aka nickel ... MoreThe board is very sturdy and gives a much smoother ride than a 22" penny board so it is great for beginners.

This board looks great online, and even more stunning in person. The livery is a unique balance of vibrance and subtlety. I own a 22" Penny, and I must say that the 27" Nickel is my absolute favorite between the two. It's large enough to comfortably perform tricks, yet small enough to tote around in-hand or throw in a backpack. The flexibility/malleability of the deck creates a smooth and fluid ride experience that is unmatched by any wooden counterpart. Overall, the craftsmanship and quality of this deck will have me coming back for more. Way to go Penny!

Couldn't go wrong with it. Great quality, great looks and super sturdy. I have seen it at another store, but Tilly's had a better deal on it. Really happy with the purchase. Great delivery time, great price and great product quality. So far I've bought most of my Christmas shopping in this store. Thanks Tilly's.
