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.

39″ Cruiser – Holz Longboards
Miami based longboard manufacturer Holz Longboards produces unique, hand-made longboards with a touch of electricity. Each deck is individually numbered and features a distinct pattern created by running high-voltage electricity from end to end. Their versatile 39″ Bamboo Cruiser is no exception in and it’s built to keep you smiling while you kick.
The Bamboo cruiser measures 39″ long x 9.5″ wide with 1/2″ of concave and 5/8″ of camber. It’s constructed from sandwiching 3 layers of 1/16″ Bamboo and 2 layers of 1/8″ Baltic Birch around a fiberglass core before sealing it up with an epoxy resin finish.
Unique to Holz longboards are the burned patterns found on the belly of each deck. They’re called Lichtenberg Figures and they’re formed by running high-voltage electricity through a non-conductive material. The process is extremely cool to see live and Holz has provided a video below:

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!
