the concave is how much the board curves inward toward the middle starting at each side. so if you can imagine looking straight down the skateboard holding it level to your eyes with the nose in front of you, you would see the shallow dip the board has compared to being just flat.
it helps with flick, it's really more of a preference whether you like it shallow or deep or anything. Corey sheppard i once read runs his over with his car so they flatten out.
i guess if you did a lot of flip tricks though youd want it more curved to catch your flick more.
whatever feels good, just stand on a board ayou like and feel it, youll know.

What are the three kinds of skateboarding?
Professional skateboarders know that for optimum performance, aside from their skill level, the type of skateboard they use makes all the difference. For amateurs, all skateboards may appear to be created equal, but there are a few different skateboards to choose from. These skateboards basically differ in their various lengths and concave depths.There are two main types of skateboard: long and short. The different shapes of both long and short skateboards is very important as well. For expert tricks, the skateboard must be concave, which refers to the curve of the board in relation to the raised nose and tail of the skateboard. A concave board is especially important for performing difficult tricks, such as an Ollie. An Ollie is a jump that begins by tapping the tail of the skateboard and sliding the foot to the front of the board in the air.

A concave long board isn't really any different from any other board except that it has a certain amount of pressure added to the center of the board so the edges are higher up. This adds a little more responsiveness to the turning and also helps you stay on the board better then if it was flat. Other variations of this would be like a "W" type concave.
What is skateboard camber?
AnswerIt is the curve of the skateboard deck --also referred to as the concave of the deck.this answer is incorrect ^ camber is an upward ark on the board creating more push when you carve, concave is not the same thing as camberCamber is the arch of the board or deck front-to-back, and concave is the arch of the deck side-to-side. A positive 3% camber with a 2% concave would be a deck that is arched up in the middle higher than the front and back ends by 3%, with the edges along the side folded upwards 2%. Some decks are also flat-camber (flat-wood), as well as negative camber, which means the center is arched lower than the front and back. A negative camber deck is also referred to as "rocker" or "rockered"; surfboards are also referred to in this way.
