2016 Lineup – Kebbek Skateboards

2016 marks the 24th year Kebbek Skateboards has been in business and to celebrate they have completely redesigned their line (Check out their 25th anniversary lineup here). They launched their new decks in January at the ISPO Munich trade-show. New artistry accompanies new shapes and technology this year.

Kebbek’s Design Style

Three different series of graphics showcase Kebbek’s artistic style. The Skatehouse series by Robbie Lariviere is reminiscent of the antics you may find in a house of skaters. Together the four graphics complete a larger panorama of a skate home, all it’s occupants included.

The Outdoor Series is also by Robbie but the two graphics in this series uniquely represent the pro’s they were made for. Ben Dubreuil and Emma Daigle’s graphics each appeal to their personalities.

Pascal Herbert delivers the Bio Suit series with an animal-style familiar to the past 24 years of releases from Kebbek.

Shapes include the Top Mount 36, Twin Kix, Smooth Cut 34 & 37, Ben Dub, Emma, Amane Kishida and the Dig Deep. They feature radial drops, flush-mount, drop-through and top-mount options, multiple wheelbases and precision cut wheelwells.

Kebbeks’ new lineup for 2016 is an excellent demonstration of their skill and style. We’re particularly fond of the new Top Mount 36. Grab one of your own at link and join Kebbek on a stylish new ride.

So, have you found your next board yet? If there’s one thing for sure, Kebbek doesn’t fail on artistic flair.

Under the Sun – STRGHT Longboards

Four years ago we featured STRGHT skateboards and their awesome implementation of design and grip. They’ve only gotten better. New colors on some stylish decks.

Four years ago we featured STRGHT skateboards and their awesome implementation of design and grip. Their intricate patterns complemented the solid construction then and they’ve only gotten better since.

STRGHT has released a new series of decks called Under the Sun and they are stunning. They’ve taken the theme of elaborate patterns, incorporated bright colors and built something really charismatic. The seeds on the Mel are embossed and contribute to grip and detail. The detail of the palms on the Peace Out is a testament to their skill. The bright colors really pop.

We wouldn’t hesitate to cruise on one of these decks and look forward to seeing one pass by. Head over to STRGHT skateboards to pick one up at the link.

Check out the video to see how STRGHT dedicates themselves to crafting the perfect board by hand. Their dedication to skateboard and longboard craft really shows through their decks.

Forged Precision Trucks – Sabre

Sabre Trucks recently released the CF 190, a truck produced using cold forged 6061-T6 alluminum billet. According to Sabre Trucs, the final product is superior to both cast and CNC’d trucks, allowing them to be both stronger and lighter. The kicker? They come in substantially less expensive than their CNC’d equivalent, arguably with more features.

Sabre trucks have been hard at work since 2008, making some of the finest longboard trucks on the planet. They truly are one of the most innovative companies with respect to trucks and bushings. We’re looking forward to what they bring us in the coming years. One thing is for sure, Sabre is the edge!

Can’t get enough? Sign up for our email list so you can hear about new Sabre gear (and other innovative brands). We sometimes have extra trucks that we give away too! So be the first to know when we make things happen.
