sector 9 mainland longboard review
The sector 9 mainland longboard is perfect for carving and cruising especially carving from it’s flexibility from the fiberglass in the wood. the mainland also comes with a decent size kicktail for added stability and maneuverability it’s great for support on long rides and can be useful for some of the more technical techniques on a longboard. The mainland also has a long wheelbase which gives it a smooth, relaxed, surfy feel. I recommend the mainland to anyone looking for a good board.
The mainland comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but I highly recommend customizing your board with some of our better products. For trucks I recommend getting gullwing sidewinders these are great for boards like these because sidewinders are responsive just like a board would be on the waves. For wheels I suggest some sector 9 wheels anything above a 70mm will do. For bearings although the mainland comes with abec 5′s I suggest buying the bones reds they’re perfect for anyone and they’re only an extra 7 bucks!
