I love springtime! Not only is the pavement drying out enough that we can start to skate around here, but all the longboard companies are releasing their hot new products.
Earthwing (one of our favorite longboard makers out of Brooklyn NY) has been tweaking their manufacturing process to lower costs and make their products more affordable. As of now, they are the only brand we carry that offers a drop-through deck for $100! It’s the new Earthwing Supermodel deck that comes in two versions, 8-ply and 9ply Supermodels. It offers a deep elliptical concave, routered channels on the bottom for a little torsional flex (though still super stiff) and even weight distribution. The channels are also perfect for grabbing rail. I still can’t get over the price though!
Other than that, we have the new Divine Wheels, Cult Wheels, Retro Freerides in the classic urethane formula, Paris 195mm Trucks, the new David Price Madrid deck and the freeride Sayshun Mania deck. Be sure and check ‘em out!
