Now that DC is made by Capita’s Mothership the personalities of all their boards have changed.  When they were getting made by GST (last time we tried them) they were super stiff and mean like all GST made boards were.  Now they are light, and very poppy underfoot. The 156 is just like I described in the last sentence and the first thing we would say is this demo model felt much softer than a 7 out of 10 rating. More like a 4 to 5.  As you can see here there is a good bow of camber from tip to tail.
