Sector 9 Skateboards
Sector 9 is not just a longboard company, they’re a skateboard company and the maple boards in the mini series are a perfect example of this. A great board from the mini series is the Sector 9 Patches. These shorties are gerat for tricks, travel, filming, the car, whatever. They don’t need to be long to cruise and hide easily in the bushes. This Mini Sector 9 Longboard is Great for airport travel due to its uniquely small size.

Sector 9 Patches
Sector 9 Vegas

Sector 9 Rasta Native
Sector 9 Sand Wedge
Dissecting the flush-mount drop through Sector 9 Longboard:
While the Sidewinder trucks turn incredibly well, they do sit a bit higher off the ground. To offset this problem Sector 9 longboards has developed the flush-mount drop through, on the Off the wall 2 and the Sand wedge. Which basically means they CNC cut into the deck of the board the thickness and shape of the trucks base plate and through the board the size of the upright section of the base plate. The truck is then disassembled at the kingpin and reassembled again to become one with the board. The base of the truck fits flush with the deck. What you then have the a board that turns on a dime and is just the right height. That is what the Sector 9 Sand Wedge Longboard is all about!

Sector 9 Sections
Sector 9 Sections Longboard – Cosmic Series
Cosmic Series Longboards:
For a while now the boards in the cosmic series have been representative of the surf-side of Sector 9 longboards. This shows through with the amazing photos they incorporate into the graphics, the fiberglass used in most of the decks, but most of all in how they ride. The Sector 9 Sections longboard is a great one to try and feel for yourself! I recommend the Sector 9 Sections because of the mid-range size and killer top/bottom graphic.

This years line-up of Sector 9 Bamboo Longboards are all following a trend in the graphic. The bamboo boards all have graphics inspired by the North Shore of Oahu.
With an eye towards the environment and a patented laminating process, we started making decks from 100% bamboo. An ideal raw material, bamboo can regenerate itself by up to 4 ft per week. Incredibly strong and resilient, it had to be made into a skateboard.

Sector 9 Joel Tudor Longboard
Joel had something a little more mellow in mind for his 2nd offering of the Sector 9 Joel Tudor Longboard. He had us model this board from an old Hobie trophy of his, ad a small amount of camber, concave and a stub tail and called it perfect. Great for all kinds of carving and high performance cruising. Joel also says its great for strapping your surfboard bag to for traveling as the tail is the same height as the center of the camber.
