Platinum Downhill Longboard

The #1 rated performing downhill sector 9 longboard has to be the kommi longboard. This board was built for speed, carving, and downhill performance and that’s it! It utilizes the popular drop through flush mount that sector 9 commonly uses to allow for a low center of gravity without taking away any of the deck for foot placement. The board is mid ranged at 38 inches in length and 9 inches wide. It has a 28.5 inch wheelbase which takes up almost the whole length of the deck which makes this longboard the best downhill board they make. The wheelbase is perfectly set up for sharp carving turns but with the trucks set up at the ends of the deck it also makes for a smoother controlled feel while carving. The board is also pressed from 8 plys, unlike the usual 7 of maple would which creates a nice stiff board which is really what you want for an ultimate downhill style board.

This board was designed for the gullwing charger trucks in 9 or 10 inches. I would personally say to put the 10 inch truck on it as it will allow for more stability when hitting toe side turns at high speeds. The 74mm sector 9 race formula wheels are a perfect match for this board. They will last a long time and are grippy while at the same time still just hard enough to last. The sector nine racing bearings were made for the sector 9 kommi longboard!
