If you’re looking for a good cruising longboard that is easy to ride, smooth, and can turn great the sector 9 waimea is a great longboard for you! The board is 39.5 inches long and 9.375 inches wide which makes for a very stable ride and makes balancing on the board really easy, even for beginners. It has a “W” concave and a slight camber which adds strength to the board and still allows for a minimal amount of flex. It has a mid-sized wheelbase which is the distance from the front and back trucks which makes for smooth flowing turns. The waimea can even be used to bomb down hills if you really wanted to as it has a carver style shape that allows for good carving.
To maximize your smooth turns on this sector 9 bamboo longboard you should get the gullwing charger trucks as they are great carving trucks and provide more stability than most other longboard trucks. If you are just cruising the board around town and not doing in hill bombing I would recommend some nice 64-70mm sized wheels which will be fast and very smooth riding even on bumpy surfaces. A good bearing like abec 7 or bones reds will allow for easier riding and smoother turning so don’t cut yourself short with a cheap bearing for this board!
