Koastal Boards Pin Tail Longboard Review
December 26, 2009 in Bombing Hills, Longboard Decks, Longboarding, Longboarding Gear, Media
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.

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
Mogwai Longboard from adam revington on Vimeo.
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!
Longboard Grashoppers from Jeroen Gerritsen on Vimeo.
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.
Extreme Longboarding from Jack McDonald on Vimeo.
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.

The design is sick, the quality of Gravity boards are always consistent and these are wheels that your gonna love. Sometimes when you buy a longboard you should get better wheels, not with this puppy this board is great for any type of longboarding. I prefer the 66m, Ice White wheels. Any of the trucks are good, but big trucks are kinda fun. It’s big so you can cross step and bomb hills but has the design my first board has so you can get a little freaky with your tricks or just cruise and tackle large distances.
