Arbor fish koa review
The Arbor koa fish longboard has got to be one of the best speed boards made by arbor, it may not have great handling but it makes up for that by being one of the fastest boards you will EVER ride. This is one of thos face melter boards… you know? the ones that will make you jealous every time you see someone dart past you, the board itself is pretty awesome.
the koa fish comes with those lame san clemente trucks and wheels but I recommend getting sidewinder trucks for this board. I don’t much recommend it for downhill anyways but it CAN be used for it and if you do decide to do it i would recommend the chargers or bombers. Also if you decide to get some bangin’ new bearings I recommend reds or sector 9 ceramics.
Sector 9 kiwi longboard
The sector 9 longboard kiwi mini is everything you could ever ask for…in a compact little board. The kiwi is perfect for cruising around town or carving up the parks. The kiwi also has perfect portability meaning it’s Uber easy to carry around. I recommend the kiwi to anyone who likes to cruise or carve.
For the kiwi I recommend getting the gullwing sidewinders no matter what unless you’re mini ramping then I suggest chargers. If you’re going to get new wheels for the kiwi I recommend using anything with a 60+mm. and if you’re looking to buy new bearings I recommend reds or sector 9 ceramics
The sector 9 longboard superfish longboard
The sector 9 superfish longboard is great for just cruising around town, but can be customized to do just about anything you want. In other words the superfish is all around great board for beginners, or those jack-of-all trades. the superfish also has wheel cutouts to make sure your wheels aren’t kissing up against your board. I recommend the superfish to any beginner.
This sector 9 longboard comes with those cruddy old san clemente trucks and wheels but I recommend getting sidewinder trucks for this board. I don’t much recommend it for downhill anyways but it CAN be used for it and if you do decide to do it i would recommend the chargers or bombers. Also if you decide to get some bangin’ new bearings I recommend reds or sector 9 ceramics.
The sector 9 bert review
ever wondered what it’s like to to skate on water? well the sector 9 bert scribble longboard will let you show you what it’s like to skate on concrete. The bert scribble comes with wheel cutouts to keep the wheels from lovin’ up against your wood and sometimes boards can get pretty freaky. I recommend the bert scribble to any carver or cruise
The bert scribble is both a great carver and cruiser I recommend the gullwing sidewinders for both occasions. If you’re going to get new wheels I recommend anything 70mm +. If you’re looking to buy new bearings I recommend getting reds or sector 9 ceramics ( if you dare)
Sector 9 luke longboard
Ever wanted to Know what surfing felt like? Well the Sector 9 Luke longboard is just that…It’s a surfboard on wheels! Now given it’s ridiculously huge…you know what they…size doesn’t matter…well when it comes to skateboarding it does you could roll over a semi with this thing (or a really big rock).
I would definitely consider this more of a cruiser or downhill board. I recommend any wheels bigger than 70mm. If you’re looking to bu new trucks for this board I recommend getting either the sidewinders for cruising or chargers for downhill. And if you’re looking for bearings I suggest reds or sector 9 ceramics.
