Lets get to the heart of the post and getting into the best longboards in my opinion. This review will talk about the boards I ride and others that my friend’s have. For the first post we have Koastal Boards Pin Tail Longboard
I have this board thanks to the guys at Koastal Boards. The Koastal Boards Pin Tail Longboard has trucks that just pop when you want to carve hard. I love cruising on flat ground while carving on this pin tail. Even though it’s great on flatland this board can bomb a hill and that’s exactly what I want in a board, flexibility. It’s priced very moderately for how well it really preforms. I highly suggest grabbing this pin tail longboard while you can.
Specifications/Hardware:
Deck Info:
Dimensions: L – 38” * W – 8.75”
Wood: Aspen, Mahogany, and Blue died maple
veneers. The core of this board is 6 ply maple.
Bottom: Natural Fiber-Lam
Shape: Slight concave and little camber
Grip: Recycled clear grip material.
Standard Hardware:
Hardware: Black hex head mounting hardware.
Bearings: Koastal Abec 5 / oil filled, gold plated
Wheel: Generic 65mm 78a
Trucks: Revenge Alpha I

So not many people know about our Youtube, http://Youtube.com/LongboardNOW. Right now we don’t have many videos, we’ll add those but we do have a lot of favorite longboarding videos worth checking out and also our subscriptions probably interest you longboarders out there.
This is the trick tip for the shenanigan. It’s one of those smooth looking moves where you get off the board and it ends in a ghost kickflip with a 180 jump back onto the board. This move looks very slick and as long as you can catch your balance and land on the board, it’s a great one to add to your arsenal. I recommend mastering your ghost kickflip first though as you have to be pretty comfortable about jumping back on the board especially when your doing a backside 180 onto it. He’s riding a nice Gravity longboard that one of my friends has and has REDs bearings which are what I have on my old board. As always WEAR A HELMET!

Matt Rosen of LoadedNewsletter on Youtube emailed me this video of him and Jesse Gonzalez rippin up a longboard, doing some tricks, and showing off their amazing boards. They show their falling too which I love haha. The music is by Gypsy Kings and the song is called Djobi, Djoba. Jesse is riding a Dervish Flex 1 Longboard with Paris Trucks and the wheels are Orangatang InHeat (80a). Matt’s boarding on a Dervish Flex 2 Longboard with Randal 180 trucks and the wheels are Retro Big Zigs (80a). Ch-ch-check it out.

Well it’s obvious but I did a site redesign. Made it feel a little more personal. In the next little while I hope to be adding either a forum or some form of social connection in order to fuse longboarders worldwide! In the meantime here is a picture from the amazing Kenjamin Ho, who took all the logo pictures too! Any other photographers, longboarders, videographers, and writers should get ahold of us at contact@longboardNOW.com and add any story, submit any video, and let your creative juices flow, yo!

I just got my awesome pintail longboard from KoastalBoards a couple of weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier. My old board was a long Creation hill bomber but I’ve fallen for this shorter, harder carving, pintail and I thought I’d showcase some of those creative videos demonstrating the amazing feeling from a pintail longboard.

I heard about PhitPhactor Apparel and checked them out and they are nothing but quality. Ran right out of my own backyard in Michigan! They have a sweet selection of shirts representing your home town and longboarding, skating, living, pretty much all that you want for super cheap.

This hill is sweet but I’d have to wait until nighttime and not have a guy in a car following me. That scares me haha but hey, at least he’s wearing a helmet

This is a cool video, the colors and editing make it really stand out. I want to check out this place and cruise there with these guys!

I like me some homemade looking videos that demonstrate raw longboarding. In this video they bomb parking garage, hit hills, and go in the grass. Pretty cool stuff.

I animate, or at least I used to animate a lot. This is a cool rotoscoping video, I think if I release another video soon or a documentary I’ll include that.

An excellent example of a longboarding video. They bomb this huge smooth hill and have an awesome camera angle. It looks to me as if theyre using a Loaded Dervish Longboard. Definitely recommend getting one, they ride low, fast, and stable.

The beginning has an awesome song by Ronald Jenkees whos probably the coolest musician you’ll ever see, check him out on Youtube for your sake. This vid features a drop-mount longboard that’s really flat and kinda looks like a Landyachtz Drop Carve Fiberglass Longboard, I’m not sure though. Let me know if you have any idea. This has some good hill bombing shots and a nice crew of longboarders and freeborders with super bright matching orange wheels and I dig it haha!

We have a new relationship with Koastal Longboards and they are awesome. Their longboards are slick and they have a lot of heart going into it. Their boards are for everything you can imagine, the surfing feel, carving, hill bombing, cruising, literally all you could ask for in a longboarding company. In case you didn’t already click on the link above here it is again, http://koastalboards.com. Below is a video of both their woodshop, longboarding, and surfing. Check it out

This is the cat we found that started this whole little longboard adventure that day. It was hungry and homeless so we fed it and longboarded with it!
Just relaxing, dripping with sweat and trying to look cool and failing
This just pure amazing Sector 9 Longboard, with wheel-wells and a sweet graphic
