The Sector 9 Waimea Bamboo Longboard is a very fast longboard. The wheels and trucks make for a super smooth ride on this sector 9. The sector 9 waimea longboard is a little shorter than the Sector 9 Pipeline and has a stylish swallow tail/fish tail and a classic shape that is reminiscent of a classic fish surfboard. The Waimea is made from 100% bamboo wood, not just a top or bottom veneer, the Sector 9 Waimea features a ‘W’ concave and mild camber to add to its strength while still allowing a nice amount of flex.

This board is best suited with the Gullwing Charger trucks which can turn sharp, and provide good stability. The waimea deck has cutouts where the wheels should hit to avoid wheel bite and let you turn super sharp. The Charger trucks also enable this board to be pumped, where you use your turning momentum to keep the speed up. Like all longboards when you get the Sector 9 waimea longboard make sure to set the trucks to your liking by either tightening or loosening the trucks. The sector 9 waimea longboard took the place of the older padang version. Save a tree, ride a weed with the Sector 9 Bamboo Longboard Series.

The company known as Arbor Longboards made its first longboard skateboard in 1999, 10 years ago! Since the first day, the Goal of Arbor was to use environmentally friendly, natural materials to create a better made, better looking, and of course better performing longboard. Arbor was one of the first companies that has been environmentally friendly since their start. Arbor longboards are generally known for their koa wood and bamboo wood longboards.

Some of the most popular arbor longboards are from the carver series of longboards. The Arbor Pin Longboard and the Arbor Fish Longboard are probably 2 of the most popular arbor longboards today.
