The Platinum Sector 9 Longboard

The platinum series of sector 9 longboards are top of the line boards! For the most part they made for speed, downhill, and hard carving! The wedge longboard is one of the highest performing boards in the series. It is super light weight, with the perfect amount of flex for hard carves and good down hill stability. The board is 42 inches long and 9.25 inches wide which gives a nice stable platform for wicked speed and carving down hills. It is formed from mahogany, aspen, and fiberglass that forms a unique look and most of all feel. It is a great all around board that is possible one of the most unknown longboards in the sector 9 line-up.

The sector 9 wedge longboard should be set up with the best components as it is a high performance board. The gullwing chargers were designed to match up with this board perfectly and allow for great turns and high speed stability. I would probably put an abec 11 style wheel on this board as they tend to last longer than most other wheels when carving hard at high speeds down hills. As for bearings I wouldn’t do anything less than abec 7 to allow for the highest speeds possible. If you’re looking to maximize the boards capabilities put some bones ceramics as they are the fastest bearings known to man!
