The sector 9 deserts is a great board for carving and cruising but it’s not really suited for anything else. The deserts actually has a completely new shape and is specially designed to flex right and keep the board moving through momentum, though this won’t keep you going forever it will take a lot less energy to push this guy up and down the streets, not to mention it’ll have you soaring through the pockets at the park. The deserts longboard also has wheel cut outs to help reduce wheelbite. I recommend the deserts to any beginner, absolutely anyone will enjoy this new shape, sector 9 did a good job on this one.

The sector 9 deserts comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but I highly recommend paying the few extra dollars to upgrade to the sidewinders and some sector 9 wheels that are about 70mm or larger, the san clemente’s are nice if you’re just starting out but in the long run the sidewinders and the sector 9 wheels are far, far, better, you just have to trust me. The deserts also comes with abec 5 bearings but if you’re going to put in the extra money for wheels and trucks you might want to shoot for getting some reds as well though the abec 5′s are fine if you want the full effect of this board to take place you have to have really good bearings.
