Atlas – Dasilva Boards

New from the Hippies at Dasilva, the Atlas. Go fast downhills or cruise or hit the park. You can do it all.

Dasilva Boards Emporium of Skatitude is primed to drop a new multi-function rocket, the Atlas. It’s a directional, downhill/freeride board with a kick and the curves you’ve come to love from Dasilva!

You may recognize these lines, the Aldous and Atlas are created in the same mold. You’ll find the familiar tub concave that gets steeper in the center, keeping you locked in and aware of your position on the board. Flares are molded in, there’s no material removed after the press. You don’t have to worry about reduced structural integrity or water-entering the board. Much like it’s Atlas brother, the concave follows through into a single kick, cupping your back foot just right.

Construction consists of a Finnish Birch core wrapped in multi-axial fiberglass and carbon fiber. The combination of these materials mean the Atlas stays light but solid. You can hit the park, the streets or bomb a hill and it will feel at home during it all.

The Atlas measures:

  • Length: 38″
  • Width: 9.65″
  • Wheelbase: 24 – 26″ in 1″ increments

Dasilva just added the update to their store. Hit the link and cop an Atlas!

Schindluader – King Lui Boards

The Schindluader from King Lui was born in the Allgaue Alps from skaters who grew up there. They know.

It’s time to familiarize yourself with King Lui boards. They’re a regional board manufacturer born from the elevation in the Allgaue Alps, Germany. They emphasize home and high-quality in their boards and it’s apparent in every finished product. Their new directional, downhill deck the Schindluader is no exception.

Input from every team rider and countless revisions went into the creation of the Schindluader. The board measures 35.5″ (90.5cm) with a tapered width beginning at 9.8″ (25cm) up front and narrowing to 9.4″ (24cm) out back. There are three wheel base options at 26.3″, 27.3″ and 28.3″ (67, 69.5 and 72cm, respectively). Micro drop, slightly more than 1/2″ of W concave, wheel wells and flares keep you locked in and aware of your foot position on the board. Construction features 6 plys of locally acquired Ash with fiberglass and epoxy to create a stuff flex. All of the above and the Schindluader weighs in at approximately 2000g or approximately 4.4 pounds. A final Rosewood veneer on the bottom ties in the performance and the aesthetics on this deck.

King Lui’s boards are made by hand and with care. They emphasize local material acquisition and environmentally friendly production. Hit the link to support a great company and scoop up a Schindluader.

Whip it good with Rayne's new freestyle longboards
by LNV

Whip – Rayne

Whip it good with Rayne’s new Freestyle boards.

You can hit the ground rolling with a few stylish dance moves or carve and flow to your own freestyle with Rayne’s new Whip! New sizes and refinements remind us that Rayne has love for all disciplines of longboarding.

The 2016 Rayne Whip is offered in three lengths: 41″, 44″ and 47″.

  • Whip 41: 41″ x 9.5″ – WB: 25.5″ 26″ 26.5″
  • Whip 44: 44″ x 9.5″ – WB: 27.5″ 28″ 28.5″
  • Whip 47: 47″ x 9.5″ – WB: 30.5″ 31″ 31.5″

If you’ve had experience with the Mike Fitter pro-model you might recognize some characteristics of the Whips. They’re built in a similar mold as the Mike Fitter but differ in the double kicks and flex.

All three are constructed using a custom blend of vertically laminated Bamboo and triaxial fiberglass. Both materials contribute to a light, flexy deck while retaining lots of pop. Artwork is tatooed on so you can be sure it will last as long as your deck does. A feature unique to the Whip in terms of Rayne products are the rounded rails. No worries about a sharp edge cracking your shin during a flip or spin maneuver.

Other features include a symmetrical shape, rocker, micro-drop and 3D wheel wells. The last detail there is pretty cool- Rayne mills material from the core and then presses the wheel wells into the bottom sheet. The result is an extra durable and resilient construction that ensures lots of life from the Whip.

One last detail that will really appeal to the dance and freestylers is Rayne’s Leverage Concave. It features a narrow, flat center that turns up at the balls of the feet in an even, linear direction. Your toes will have a little extra leverage and you’ll have a better idea of foot placement.

If you wanna Whip it good, better hit that link and pick one up!

Holesom Special / Loaf Over Under
by Ryan Lee

Special / Loaf – Holesom

You may have heard of Holesom’s deliciously good smelling slide pucks but did you know that they make longboards as well? Updates to the Holesom Special and Loaf drop Tomorrow, October 1st.

Holesom has been in the game since 2009. They’re the archetype of a company who remembers that it’s about having fun going down hills. Their unique style gives that sexy, ambient kind of vibe and it’s translated well into the updated versions of their Special and Loaf decks.

The Special was predominantly designed by rider Jordan Hessler in it’s original form. The update is a directional freeride deck designed around rocker and mellow flares, measuring 33 7/8″ long by 8 5/8″ wide at the trucks and 9 5/8″ wide at the waist. It features 1/2″ of concave throughout with some W running from halfway to the back. This creates a super comfortable board for pushing around and doing downhill; your front foot is comfortable but definitely doesn’t have its bubble burst at any point. It offers 3 variable wheelbase options in 1″ increments from 24-26″.

The original Loaf is an extended version of the Biscuit, a derivative of the Holesom owner’s surfboard. The new loaf has been upgraded to a hardrock maple construction and is fitted with some awesome spoon-concave kicktails! It measures 39.5″ long by 9.5″ at its widest point, tapering off to a skinnier 8.75″ near the ends. It also offers 3 variable wheelbase options in 1″ increments from 24-26″ and features a nose spoon micro-kick, mellow flares and 1/2″ of concave with a W running to the tail out back. With a good setup, this board will become your freeride bread and butter!

These updates represent hours of testing and refinement by team riders Gustavo Mello and Antonio Moscatelli. Want to ride with a smile? Hit the link to keep it Holesome and pick up one of these new decks.
