Hurtle boards are made either in limited runs or as special one offs. There is no mass production going on in their workshop. Each deck is individually pressed and hand shaped to get every detail as close to perfect as possible. The new Stained Maple deck is a product of Brad Mallett and DysfunctionalSoldier‘s creativity, combined with Hurtle’s skill. They’ve done a handful of artist collaborations previously, each with their own unique twist and this latest piece is no exception.
This deck is one of the most crisp, minimalist and appealing designs we’ve ever seen. The artwork has been burned into the deck using a laser etching process, creating absolutely explosive results. Hurtle views these collaborations as opportunities to push the envelope aesthetically while producing truly exclusive, artistic decks. Make no mistake though, Hurtle’s work can still shred after the picturesque photo-shoots.

Rayne is out to make the most thaney, long-lasting wheel ever with their new “Round 1” Prototypes. Working closely with the factory has allowed them to refine a ‘thane that is buttery smooth with lots of control. The Round 1s are a limited run released with the intention of showcasing some of the urethane formulas they are working on.
These 65mm wheels are quick, compact and totally shreddable. They’re poured in a classic freeride shape; round lips, a mid-sized, stone-ground contact patch of 47 mm, and an encapsulated core for fast acceleration. They’re a soft 75a, which is unique for a freeride wheel, but that just means that there’s going to be a lot of urethane trails. The formula is rumored to be awesome durability, and that attribute will continue to be a hallmark of the new Rayne wheel formula for future versions as well.
