SYMMETRICAL

One Board One Tree

To give back to the environment we have decided that for every skateboard we sell, we plant a tree. One tree produces at least 60 boards. So with our program, one tree will turn into at least 60 new trees planted.

100% Canadian Maple

Canadian Maple is a strong and proven material used in the world’s best skateboards. We source only the finest veneers found in Eastern Canada.

DROP DOWN

A lowered foot platform provides the most stable ride and gives your feet pockets to lock into while skating. These boards are also easier for pushing and foot-breaking.

Made in Canada

Ohhh Canada Eh!

SYMMETRICAL

Go both ways with symmetrical board design. Generally found in freeride and downhill decks, these boards allow the rider to skate both regular and switch without changing up their stance.

Length: 36
Width: 9.5
Wheelbase: 27

Great board the only thing is that my sector9 board is noticeably faster which is not fun because i prefer going relatively fast downhill! Everything other than that is superb

Mountainbreeze with the scent of woods

I am fairly new to longboarding and i had a other board before, but this one is great. It feels like I would glide on the rural and well made streets of austria. I definitly will and also already recommended it to my friends. Great longboard!

MUST BUY

When compared with a linear regression of similar prices cross indexed with other brands in several countries, this board has a +0.05% value compared to similarly priced boards matched with prior reviews. Fascinatingly, when this board's natural frequency is matched with a sin wave, the results imply the board is made of a much higher quality wood than other brands. When stress tested under volcanic conditions, this board performed admirably, and my associates were able to ride it around the lab without discernible difference in downhill/freeride performance. A microscopic cellular analysis of the composition of this board additionally revealed high capacity protein enzymes in the main deck, and the outer sealant may actually cure cancer in small rodents. All in all, this board has great value and I would definitely buy again.
