They're both really good, so in this case just look for the one with the best looking graphic.

They're both super good. But i skate Toys. So my suggestion would be, of course, Toys.

Workshop allday.
Toy is sick, but tumyetos shapes are becoming weird as of late. DNA keeps it real. Their decks feel so good all the time.

AWS
Like skizzate said, they still have good pop and all, but Tum Yeto products quality is deteriorating. Not that they're bad, but I'd pick something from DNA Distrabution over it.

i dont know how you guys can say that AWS has good shape. the only AWS ive skated was a really weird shape and ive had other people tell me that they dont like the shapes. maybe we just got bad luck? oh well.

tum yeto boards have declined in quality in the past few years, and AWS is better, period. especially pop-wise.

How has Tum Yeto declined in quality?

So far my Fiberlam is the best board I've ever ridden, and strongest.

well, im talking about the regular boards.

i used to ride them all the time. i think i rode them for a straight year solid. then after a while i got another, and the shape was weird and it felt weird, and didnt skate very well. ive had a couple since then, and ridden other peoples, and theyre all like that. theyre just not the same anymore, and whenever i skate them, they just feel... weird. the paint is cheap too. not that it matters, but its a sign that they cut quality. it flakes off really easy. it didnt use to.

and even when i was totally into tum yeto boards and they were good, id still say AWS is better.

although id really pick habitat, cause they tend to have better shapes, so you might as well get the better shape on the same wood.

every thing you said about tum yeto, i had the same experience with AWS except for i just skated one. the shape was weird not a whole lot of pop. and the paint pretty much just fell off after a week. like chunks just came off for no reason.

My Foundation Fiberlam paint isn't chipping away at all, and it slides good too. It's taken heavy blows to the nose and tail and still hasn't chipped or anything, it seems like the strongest board ever to me.. but then again I had a Zero and Plan B. My Mini-Logo was fine but it went flat way to fast.

I was thinking about getting a regular Tum-Yeto board, but if the regular ones are different from the Fiberlams in a negative cheap way then I guess I'll stick to Fiberlam. So far I have 2 Fiberlam decks, 1 not used yet.. thinking of getting another Fiberlam after that also.

Again, just because some people don't like a brand (decks, wheels, whatever), doesn't mean it's bad. Skateboard products are mostly preference, and if you like Foundations, then keep skating them.

dont get me wrong bro, i have nothing against the companies themselves. i used to be a total foundation head. they just got weird (as well as toy and pig).

shit happens. that sucks though.

my friend rides 8.25s and we only had 8s at the shop at the biggest, but i happened to have a brand new 8.25 ABC blank so i gave it to him for $25.. then we went skating later and he snapped it trying a bs 180 on a 3. ive skated two of those boards and they were some of the strongest and sturdiest ive ever had, he just got unlucky.

Toy, cause Foundations are good and Toys are made by the same company as Foundation, but its all up to you

He bought a board peeps.

Personally i would've chosen Toy though.

Take it back, and show them, and act really upset. Then ask if u can at least have a good discount on your next Deck, and this time, try going easy on it for the first few days..
