Bamboo Longboards are becoming more popular among longboarders. The bamboo wood is a great material to use for a skateboard as it grows really fast and is quite durable and has a good amount of flex in it that allows you to pump out of turns for more speed.

Sector 9 has an entire series of bamboo longboards of all different sizes and styles. The sector 9 bamboo longboards are some of the most popular in the sector 9 longboard line-up. They have around 10 different bamboo boards to choose from. A few of my favorites are the newst which is the Bamboo Sunset Longboard. This board is great for down hill riding and racing. Another of my favorites is the Haleiwa Bamboo Sidewinder style longboard. It is unique as it is the only sidewinder style longboard from Sector 9.

Arbor also has a good selection of bamboo longboards. For the most part arbor makes a bamboo grain top layer and also a koa wood top layer for each board in their series except for a select few. Some of my favorite bamboo arbor boards are the pintail, hybrid, and bug styles. The hybrid style is just that a hybrid longboard which is partially skate/longboard style. A great all around style longboard.

Loaded Longboards are all made from 100% bamboo wood. They make 5 different styles as of now. The vanguard and dervish are the 2 most popular boards from loaded. They are both great all around boards for the serious longboarder that really wants to carve downhills and get some speed. The top mounted dervish longboard is also great for power-slides. The loaded ceviche longboard is really close in popularity and is the newest addition to the loaded line, it replaced the old style fish board. Which many may be familar with.

There are many other companies out there who also use bamboo wood in their boards these are just a small handful of the better known. If anyone knows of any other bamboo style longboards they really like let us know so we can look into it and post some info about them.

Arbor was one of the 1st companies to come up with the idea of making bamboo longboards. However they lagged on getting it into production and Sector 9 longboards beat them to getting them into production. These two companies are actually more closely related then most people know. They share the same warehouse in San Diego and have the same companies press a lot of their boards.

Arbor Bamboo Longboards are actually quite different than the sector 9 bamboo longboards. How is that you ask? Well arbor’s only have a top layer of bamboo wood while the rest of the board is made from hard rock maple. What this does is allow for a stiffer longboard which makes the board more responsive to you when trying to turn and makes for a good carving style board.

As far as what bamboo longboards are better, well that really depends on the rider and what they prefer. Some people prefer the longboard to be more flexible like the sector 9 bamboo longboards as it creates smoother turns when carving as the stiffer arbor bamboo longboards will make faster hard carves.
