Por que no los dos? Now you can have both with Alma’s latest deck coming out of Brazil. The Caos is one of their most recent offerings and it’s oriented towards both downhill and freeride. Bomb a hill or use the kicktail to thrash it around in town.

Dire Wolf – Monon Longboards
Winter is coming! Prepare yourselves with Monon Longboard Company’s new Dire Wolf. Built with downhill and freeride in mind, the Dire Wolf is available in limited quantities featuring artwork from Ivana Mendenhall.
The brain child of their team manager, Thomas Mendenhall and lead designer, Daniel Jimenez, this board combines everything you love for going fast and sideways. It’s features bowl concave with a 1/4″ microdrop, rocker and flared wheel wells. All this comes together to create a foot pocket that will never leave you guessing where to stand.
It measures 39″ long counting the kick and tapers from 9.5″ wide to 9.25″ out back. These specs combined with the optimal 24 – 27.5″ wheelbase options make this a force to be reckoned with. Like all of Monon’s line up, the Dire Wolf is hand shaped to order, giving each board character and a unique feel. Construction features 9 layers of Great Lakes maple that creates a rock solid platform. It will take a beating and stand up amazingly well against the elements.
Monon has a very limited number of these available. Hit the link to pick one up and get shredding.

Sadly, Monon made the decision to shut down in 2018. They had a great 5-year run! Snag a board if you come across them, they’re a welcome rare sight. Best of luck to the team and we hope they stay part of the longboard community indefinitely.

Scrapyard Project – Omen Longboards
Omen has been one of the most active companies in the longboarding scene. They offer great concaves at great prices, and it’s common knowledge that Omen boards are near indestructible. Tanks. It also turns out that Omen hates wasting perfectly good decks, which sounds pretty good to me because in this day and age, we could use some waste reduction. Global warming and all.
This month, Omen launched the Scrapyard Project, where they take B-grade decks from their scrap pile and birth new cruiser decks and unique, limited offerings. All of them have original Omen graphics and construction dating back to various years, but nonetheless, they’re better than your homemade chop jobs. The edges are sealed, rigorously quality tested and released to the public for substantially less than the retail price. A great deal all-around, and if you invest in a certain deck, it might make it to the regular line-up! An awesome initiative in my eyes. Here are the first batch of scrapyard decks.
The 23” classic is made of blanks with failed “accelerated rocker” pressings. Because of their short platform that’s cut right out from the center of the board, they’re plenty mellow but have enough concave to seriously be nimble. Great for a trip to the grocery store or the movies!
The 9” Barfight is a perfectly good Omen Barfight that’s been shaved an inch down the rails to give you a gnarly freeridable, downhillable, positively monkey toe-able beast of a board. And it’s at nearly half price!

Sage – Pantheon Longboards
Pantheon just dropped a super limited run of their Sage deck featuring the Purple Trip Graphic. Only five of these are available!
The Sage features subtle refinements from a two year pursuit of the perfect downhill skate. Pantheon focused on changes to the drop, size and concave to give the rider freedom to move while maintaining that locked-in feeling. The updated drop increases rail concave while the center is raised in a crescent shape until it meets the rail. The result is a more substantial drop without wheelbite.
A subtle flushmount up front let’s you ride on top of the truck if you choose. The drop-flare-concave combo keep you aware of foot placement while on the standing platform and offer your feet something to push against.
It measures 39″ long by 9.8″ wide with a slight taper out the back. Multiple wheelbase options from 25-28″ let you choose a symmetrical ride or something that distributes the weight forward or aft depending on preference. 9 plys of Canadian Maple keep it stiff while a 1/4″ each of rocker and drop keep it stable.
Hit the link and choose “Purple Trip Graphic” from the dropdown to pick up one of these limited edition Sages!

Sho Stopper & Sellout – Valhalla
Tonight, we dine in Valhalla!
Valhalla has been known to make some of the gnarliest looking boards ever. Their sleek designs and cnc’d wheel wells are some of the most notorious and dangerously mischievious things to come by in the longboard scene. With their unique but pragmatic shapes like the black dolphin and the master blaster, Valhalla sits under the feet of hundreds of incredible skaters. But of course, it’s Valhalla and Alex Ameen and he wanted more.
This time around, Valhalla releases two pro-models, both totally unique and guaranteed to be shapes that you have never seen before. One’s a downhill pintail shape, something that’s gone obsolete from today’s market, but was once a classic staple. Another’s an innovative cutout deck that rivals the most advanced cutout decks available on the market.
Introducing the Valhalla Sellout and Sho Stopper.
The Valhalla Sellout is one sexy board. It’s a chopped pintail shape, completely speed stiff and features Valhalla’s signature mellow concave featuring 0.666 inches of concave and rocker, with a good serving of W concave in the back for maximum grip. There’s a standard half-inch of taper and a set of some of Valhalla’s unique wheel wells to show off.
The Sho Stopper is Sho Oullette’s pro-model board. This has been in development for a while now, but now it’s out there for all of you to enjoy! This deck features Valhalla’s standard 0.666 concave. However, this board is unique in the Valhalla line because it’s symmetrical, and it’s Valhalla’s current premier cutout deck. So for those wanting to run huge wheels without risers, this is the one for you.
Check here for details at Valhalla and hit the to scoop one up while they’re still available!
