Ala Moana Bamboo Longboard

Sector 9 longboards have an impeccable reputation. The Ala Moana bamboo longboard is a particularly popular model – and for good reason. The longboard has gullwing sidewinder trucks that handle sharp turns incredibly well.

Other standout features its unique design for hard carving slalom style riding. A short wheelbase makes these Sector 9 longboards maneuverable. Add Sector 9 69mm or 72mm wheels for optimal performance.

Sector 9 Super Shaka Longboard Review

The Sector 9 Super shaka longboard is the perfect downhill/cruising board for any expereience range. The super shaka is cut specifically so that you don’t have to worry about wheelbite unless your foot is hanging over the side and scraping your shoe. Another really great thing about the super shaka is the long wheelbase, it’s as long as ANY longboard will ever get, this will give you the maximum stability you can get as well as the cleanest feeling you could possibly get from this type of longboard. I recommend the Super Shaka to anyone that takes long commutes or is really into doing downhill.

The Super shaka is perfect with san clemente trucks and wheels however the deck itself isn’t making it our most popular board. For wheels I definitely recommend sector 9′s or orangatang. For trucks I recommend getting gullwing chargers, or bombers. The Super shaka also comes with abec 5 bearings that would be much better replaced with some bones reds or if you have the money some sector 9 ceramics, they’re definitely worth it.

Sector 9 J-Bay longboard

The Sector 9 J-bay longboard is a great board whether you're looking for a carver, cruiser, light bombing, or light sliding board. I've found the J-bay to be super comfortable on those long treks across towns, it's actually my friends board but he let me test it out for a couple of days. The mild "W" shaped concave conformed nicely to my feet and kept my feet locked in without the feeling of discomfort that I've found some harsh "W" concaves to give. The board also has a slight camber and is decently flexible for pumping through town and that surfy feel that a lot of flexible boards give.

One of the greastest things about the J-bay is the Bamboo, which not only looks sweet in my opinion but is great for the environment and is actually quite durable, in fact, could even be more durable than most wood. My friend has had this board for quite some time, and it still hasn't given into that sagging or dead feel that flexible boards especially can give into. He's riding this setup with Gullwing Chargers, Sector 9 wheels, and reds bearings, however if you plan to use it for cruising and carving exclusively I would suggest trying out some gullwing sidewinders, but the chargers are excellent and even though the board isn't strongly suited for downhill boarding we were riding it down our favorite hill yesterday at 30+ mph. I recommend the J-Bay to anyone looking for a solid cruising or carving board, that can still stick it to some hills if you're into downhill at all.

Sector 9 Finger Longboard Review

The sector 9 fingers longboard is great for cruising around town or carving the park. The fingers comes with wheel cutouts which helps prevent wheelbite (which sucks no matter what you’re doing). The fingers also has a slight kicktail for added maneuverability and stability. The fingers also has a short wheelbase for sharp and precise turns. I recommend the fingers to anyone looking for a good board for carving or cruising.

The fingers comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but I suggest buying some of our premium trucks and wheels. For wheels I suggest sector 9′s in a 70mm or higher, I especially like orangatangs and abec11′s. For trucks I recommend getting sidewinders, these are extremely responsive and will make your carving at the park like riding through hot butter. The fingers also comes with abec 5 bearings but I recommend getting reds because they’re only 10$ more and make 10 times the difference.

Sector 9 Goddess Longboard Review

The sector 9 goddess longboard is perfect for downhill sliding, cruising, and carving. The Goddess has a shorter wheelbase then most boards of this type, making it easier to transition into and out of slides, and for sharper more precise turning at the park. The Goddess also has wheel cutouts to help prevent wheelbite on the extremely sharp turns and those laybacks on those steep hills. I recommend the goddess to anyone from amateur to expert looking for a good sliding/carving board.

The sector 9 goddess comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but I highly recommend customizing your board with some of our premium trucks and wheels. For trucks i recommend buying chargers or bombers if you’re going to be sliding but if you’re not then definitely get the sidewinders. For wheels I recommend getting any sector 9 wheel in a 70mm or higher. As for bearing the board comes with abec 5′s but these can wear out fast going at high speeds, so I recommend buying some reds which are only 10$ extra but make a load of difference. For more cheap longboards please visit this link Cheap longboards.

Sector 9 Patches Mini Longboard

The sector 9 patches mini longboard is perfect for making the commute to school, work, family, etc, The patches is also great for, ramp riding, street tricks, or even the bowl at the park. The patches has a really small wheelbase making for sharp, precise turns which makes turning sharp corners easy as slicing melting butter with a hot knife. The patches also has a wide kicktail for easy turns on street corners and more maneuverability on the ramps.

The patches comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but I recommend buying some of our premium products. For trucks I recommend independents, chargers, or even mission 1′s. For wheels I recommend getting sector 9′s in a 60mm or getting any wheel in around that size I especially like abec 11′s, zig-zags, and orangatangs. The patches also comes with abec 5′s but I highly recommend getting some reds they’re only 10$ more and they make quite a difference. For more cheap longboards click this link cheap longboards

The sector 9 vegas mini comes with wheel cutouts to help prevent wheelbite, which is something you don’t want no matter what you’re doing . One of the greatest things about the vegas is that you can store it just about anywhere, you can put it in trucks, backpacks, luggage, (perfect gift), etc. The vegas also has a kicktail to help maneuver those thight corners and really helps to ride those mini ramps.

The vegas comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but I highly recommend chipping in some extra money for some of our more efficient products. For trucks i recommend independents, mission 1′s, or chargers. For wheels I recommend getting some sector 9′s, orangatangs, abec 11′s etc. anything in a 60mm or higher. The vegas also comes with abec 5′s but I recommend buying some reds or sector 9 ceramics.

Sector 9 Costa Mini Longboard

The Sector 9 costa mini longboard skateboard is the perfect little ride for carving, cruising and ramp riding. The costa mini is great because of it’s short wheelbase for weaving through traffic like it’s nobodies business. One of the best things about the costa mini is it’s size, it’s easy to carry, can be store in lockets, under desks, in cabinets, duffel bag, you can bury underground if you want (don’t recommend). I recommend the costa mini to anyone who wants an amazing little cruiser.

The costa mini comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but I highly recommend buying some of our premium trucks and wheels. for trucks I recommend getting some independents or chargers. For wheels I recommend sector 9′s, abec 11′s or orangutangs or any wheel in a 60mm or higher for that matter. The costa also comes with abec 5 bearings but I highly recommend getting some reds, they’re only 10$ more and they’re worth every cent.

Sector 9 Luke Longboard

The sector 9 luke longboard skateboard is…alright I’m not gonna lie, it’s MASSIVE. If you don’t want to carry a 15 pound mass of skateboard in your hand around this board isn’t for you…however, I near guarantee a girl (or guy) that sees you riding this is going to think you’re the sexiest thing on the block (don’t hold me to my word on that one). The luke however is similar to the OG cloud it’s just bigger and has a much wider wheelbase, this is by far the longest wheelbase of any board in our shop. I recommend the Luke to anyone who wants a killer ride and enjoys trips with friends and family, grab your kids, grab yourself….and plow over whatever’s in your way, this is definitely the tonka truck of skateboarding.

The luck comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but I suggest customizing your boards with some of our premium products, For trucks I recommend sidewinders for anything except downhill, if you plan on doing downhill I recommend getting chargers or bombers. For wheels I recommend sector 9′s or arbors…just anything in a 70mm or higher if you have the extra money get some orangatangs or abec 11′s. The luke also comes with abec 5′s but I recommend getting reds, they’re only 10$ more and it’s worth every penny

Sector 9 Sidewinder Longboard

Sector 9 Longboard – Reflections

Assembled with sidewinders these trucks are so unique and fun that we had to design a series of boards around them. A double stacked kingpin with 2 pivot ponts per truck basically allow for a truck with “Yogi-like” flexibility. Many that ride them won’t ride anything else after.

The reflections is the only fiberglass sandwhich board in the series. With trucks allowing you to pump for speed instead of pushing, the fiberglass camber/combo amplify’s the tight turns with spring loaded action.

The reflections graphic features a beautiful Sunrise barrel shot from Clark Little.

Sector 9 Lombok Longboard

Sector 9 Lombok Longboard

The newest cosmic series longboard in the sector 9 series is the Lombok. It is the largest board at 46″ long. This board is great for cruising at high speeds, and surfing the streets. It has a nice amount of flex to make for smooth riding and flwoing turns. It also sports a kicktail that can be used to help you manuver around tight spots or lift the nose up over a curb. The lombok is a great super cruiser style longboard.

The lombok was built for speed and cruising. So make sure to set it up with a nice 70mm wheel such as the sector 9 nineball wheels in either blue or green. A nice fast bearing like some bones reds will make it fast and smooth when cruising the streets or boardwalk. And last and most important for smooth carving are the trucks. I would recommend anything either 10″ or 180mm such as gullwing chargers, paris, or randal trucks. They are all a great choice for the lombok.

Short Lived Sector 9 Longboards

With the new spring 2010 Sector 9 longboards coming out soon they are getting rid of some short lived boards. Here are a few that are no longer going to be in production or are getting a maker over to the graphic; carbon tr3 (discontinued), sunset(new name and graphic), whistler(new name and graphic), off the wall 2(new name and graphic), sand wedge(new graphic), most pit(new name and graphic), seedling (new name and graphic). So in total that will be 7 changes. One board discontinued completely, 1 with just a graphic update, and 5 new names and graphics.

Favorite new graphic has to be the newer version of the off the wall 2. Soon I will release the new graphic of this board which is now called the sector 9 tree barrel. Another great graphic change for spring 2010 is the sand wedge. Not too stoked on the change of the seedling graphic however I do think it will suite a lot of female riders as it is converting back to the older style graphic similar to the scarab or makosa that some of you may be familiar with.

New Spring 2010 Sector 9 Longboards

Yes, it is finally time! The spring 2010 sector 9 longboards are just about ready to hit the shelves. This week the new version of the sand wedge with a new graphic will be hitting the shops for the first time. In total there are 7 new changes being made to the boards. It seems the carbon tr3 is no longer going to be around as they are adding a new carbon fiber board called the carbon decay which is similar to the carbonite just a lot smaller at only 37.7″ long and 9.2″ wide. It is going to be a great little board that will manuver super tight and is light weight, highly recommended for college students looking to get to class. The small size of the carbon decay will also allow for easy stash under your desk or strapped to your skate-pack.

Recommended set up for the carbon decay:

I would set it up with a nice wide truck for added stability such as the 10″ gullwing chargers or even some 180mm randal trucks. A nice smooth abec 7 bearing such as the sector 9 cosmic bearings would be a perfect fit or this little speed board. I would set it up with a slalom/carving style wheel such as the orangatang in-heats in either orange or purple. I would go with the orange wheels for a rougher surface or the purple if the riding surface is somewhat smooth. This board is available in 3 differnt colors; yellow, green, blue.

Sector 9 Mini Longboard Skateboards

Sector 9 Mini Longboards

Ok here are my top 5 favorite sector nine mini longboards along with my recommended set up for trucks, bearings and wheels. Keep in mind these are in no particular order just the top 5 that come to mind.

Sector 9 City Crusher: Trucks- 9″ Gullwing Mission trucks, 76mm abec 11 flywheels, rush abec 7 bearings. The city crusher is one of my favorite mini’s that incorporates flex into the board

Sector 9 Montage: Trucks- Gullwing mission trucks, 60mm abec 11 noskoolz, bones reds bearings. I picked this board as it is the smallest sector 9 mini out and it is great for travel.

Sector 9 Coconut: Trucks- Gullwing Charger, 65mm sector 9 wheels, sector 9 platinum bearings. This board has a great little pop to the deck with a nice smooth flex which helps create smooth flowing turns for a shorter wheelbase.

Sector Rasta N8V: Trucks- Independent 149mm, 60mm abec 11 no skoolz, sector 9 greaseball bearings. Well why not a rasta graphic board. You always need a rasta inspired board in your list of tops.

Sector 9 Big Rock Bamboo: Trucks- Gullwing Mission, 61mm sector 9 wheels, rush abec 9 bearings. Ok so bamboo wood is great for the environment as it grows crazy fast. This little mini is super lightweight and can turn on a dime a great choice for a mini especially if you are looking for a bamboo board.

Sector 9 Longboard Skateboards

Yes spring is near and you know what that means. Yep, it’s time for the release of new longboards. It seems like just a few weeks ago sector 9 release the entire new line of boards and now they are coming out with some new ones??? That’s right a handful of boards are in production right now and will be hitting the skate shops in the next 4-6 weeks. There are going to be some really cool editions to the new longboard skateboards coming out. One of my favorite is a newer version carbonite board that is just a little shorter that will be great for pushing, cruising, and carving.

I can’t give out too much information yet but just be ready for the new release which will be available soon. Also soon to come all the new landyachtz longboard skates will be introduced so keep an eye out for that. This spring should be epic in the longboarding world.

Sector 9 Luke Longboard.

The sector 9 luke longboard is great for cruising…and boardpooling, in fact I’m not entirely sure just one person can push it. The luke has an extremely long wheelbase, this is like, the semi of skateboards just with 4 wheels instead of 18 wheels. The luke also has a slight kicktail, for comfort, this board is truly too big to be trying to kickturn with it, however if you do street tricks effectively with this board BY ALL MEANS please send a video. I recommend the luke to anyone looking for the most amazing cruiser ever.

The sector 9 luke comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but I highly recommend customizing your baord with some of our quality products. For trucks I recommend bombers, charger, or sidewinders. For wheels I recommend anything in a 75mm+ the bigger the wheels for this…the better. the luke also comes with abec 5′s but I suggest getting some reds or sector 9 ceramics.

Sector 9 Costa Mini Longboard Review

The sector 9 costa mini longboard is perfect making it from point a to point b ( as long as there is concrete). The costa comes with wheel cutouts which really help prevent wheelbite. The costa also has (like all of our great mini’s) a really short wheelbase that makes for sharp and precise turns and no worries about what corner might pop up out of nowhere. I recommend the costa mini to anyone looking for an amazing little board with a lot of versatility, who says big things can’t come in small packages.

The costa mini comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but I recommend getting some of our premium trucks and wheels. For trucks I recommend independents, chargers or bombers. For wheels I recommend sector 9′s in a 60mm or higher. the costa mini comes wit abec 5′s but I highly recommend getting some reds with this they’re only 10$ more and they’re the best thing you can get for the money.

Sector 9 Bullet Longboard Review

The Sector 9 bullet longboard is perfect for cruising, carving and downhill. The Bullet has a drop through flush mount system for a lower center of gravity, and more stability. The bullet is also shaped to be super responsive for those tough carves at the park. The sector 9 bullet also unlike most of our other boards of this type is a bit longer. I recommend the bullet to anyone who needs a good board for carving or downhill.

The sector 9 bullet comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but I recommend buying some of our more efficient trucks wheels. For trucks I recommend getting chargers or bombers these are perfect for stability at high speeds and swift turns at the park. For wheels I recommend getting the sector 9′s in a 70mm or higher.
