Kebbek Hairpin Longboard Review

Posted August 1, 2010 // Tagged as Longboarding, Product Info, Reviews // No Comments ↓

Unlike all the other longboard decks in the Kebbek lineup, the Hairpin isn’t named after one of their teamriders.  The thing that stands out most about this deck is it’s super gnarly, aggressive concave.  It’s not like your average concave though.  A nice, wide flat in the middle makes it a lot more comfortable on your feet than most crazy concaves.  But once you get to the sides, the rails jut upwards to grab onto your feet like a claw.  Compared to the JimZ and the Steve Daddow, this concave takes the cake.  Those claws make sure you have super leverage without having to worry about your feet slipping.

The ever-so-precisely cut drop through mounts make the Kebbek Hairpin longboard ideal for freeriding or speedboarding.  Made from 100 percent solid Canadian rock maple just like all the other decks in the line-up, this board is built to last.  All 8 plys of wood are compressed underneath tons of pressure to sandwich it all together.   This deck features a universal drop through mount so you can saddle up with any combo of trucks and wheels your heart desires.  Thanks to deep wheel wells, you can ride bigger wheels than usual.

It may have taken Kebbek a few years to get their stuff together but it was well worth the wait.  Their new designs are pure perfection.  And at $169 a pop, this is a purchase you can’t go wrong with.
