If anybody on the team has an insatiable appetite for speed, it’d be Dexter. Even though he is super friendly and easy-going in person, he truly is a madman on his board. Something is wrong with dat boy.

“THE NEW RACE CATEGORY IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I’M MOST EXCITED ABOUT AT LANDYACHTZ.”

We have this really cool history of racing in the company and I think it’s awesome that we’ve put out this new line of gear that’s performing at a really high level on the race circuit today. It’s really exciting being able to develop this stuff as a full package and have a complete race setup where all of the parts have been specifically developed to work together seamlessly.

I’m really excited about all the products in the lineup this year. I think Kyle’s board is a rad example of the innovative stuff we have the freedom to try here, and I’m so stoked to have the Small Blind to race on this year. I’ve never felt as dialled and confident on a shape as I do on that board right now. The construction makes it so stiff and solid feeling under my feet and the rocker/concave combo is super comfortable and confidence inspiring. The amount of grip it offers continues to surprise me, even after riding it in production spec for a few months now.

The new Smokies and race wheels pair up with both of these boards perfectly and the whole package works together to give this level of performance that I think is going to blow a lot of people’s minds.
