The bamboo series of longboards from sector 9 are all very popular but one of them seems to get the most attention. That board is the sector 9 haleiwa. This little longboard is a hybrid mix between bamboo series and sidewinder series unlike any other board in the sector 9 longboards series. It is fully constructed from 100% bamboo wood and is the same shape as the older sector 9 cosmic 1 shape. It can take turning to new levels with the sidewinder trucks and short wheelbase at under 2 foot long. The deck is 8.8 inches wide which gives you a good stable area for your feet when carving. The bamboo wood also allows for a little bit of flex in and out of turns which helps to maximize your speed.
The haleiwa sector 9 longboard should be set up with gullwing sidewinder trucks with no other substitutes if you are looking for a hard, sharp turning board. You also need a flat edged slalom style wheel when using the sidewinder trucks to allow for enough friction against the ground so you don’t slide around too much when turning. Any abec 5 or higher bearing will definitely do the trick with this little cruiser.
