Its not a matter of which one is better than the other because i know they are both legit companies with quality skates. What im wondering is the difference in concave and rocker. I normally ride a catalyst 112 and im looking at a wood skate. im up for any other suggestions!

i have the success and im diggin it. 40" length, 15.5" waist, 12" tip/tail, and a nice medium concave, and 2.2" rocker. it took a little to get get used to the wide tails, but i love how my toes dont drag.

I have not ridden both, but I have seen both in person at the same time. They are very similar in shape. The Sattelytes seem to be a bit wider in the tips, and maybe a tad heavier. Hope that helps.

i got the success and i love it soo much, it seems really durable for a wood board teh pbt base rocks, i landed my first 3 shuv basically the day i got it and im getting alot more consistant with tricks on it, the wide tails are letting me land anywhere on the board without slipping out or nosedipping, the pop is amazingg- i love it well worth the money
