The Rivahh

The Rivahh

Lengths - 35”, 40”, 43”

Width - 9”

This is the first board we made exclusively to showcase our concave.  As far as we know we are the only hardwood longboard company to offer concave, and not only that our concave process is completely customizable. That is a definate first in the industry. Our standard concave is 7 degrees of concave from the center of the deck.  We can increase the amount of concave if you would like to be more locked into your board, or we can detune the concave for a bit of a looser feel. 

As it turned out that this deck is an excellent freeride board.  The concave locks you in and allows for deep carves and super controlled slides.  Opt for the 35” model and you have a stylish commuter that easy to take around with you after you finish riding it.  

This board is also a great board to customize with drop-through trucks.  Opt to have the trucks drop-through the board and you will lower the boards center of gravity, making the board more stable while not sacrificing the turning characteristics of the board.

The options are limitless no matter which way you go.  No matter what you are going to have a sweet looking ride thats going to last a lifetime. 

Setup with Randal RII 150’s trucks, Retro Freeride 72mm wheels and Biltin Bearings

Kalos

Kalos

Length - 33”, 36”

Width - 8.25”

Inspired and first created the for the girl who started it all.  Without her, I would have never been able to start the company which would become Balance Longboards.  And with her inspriation, her board becomes apart of our line which even uses her nickname as the board name, Kalos.  

A standard Balance pintail.  Great for cruising, carving, while small enough to carry around the campus with you.  The look of the board will grab your attention, while the Abec 11 No Skools, Randal 150’s and Biltin Bearings will keep you riding smooth.  

There is no light without the darkness, and this board will remind you of it every time you take it for a ride.

The Crush

The Crush

Length - 56”, 60”

Width - 10”

The big daddy in our line.  The Crush will literally roll over anything in its path.  At 56”X10” it will certainly turn heads no matter where you are at.  Cruise around campus, or take it to the board walk.  No matter where you are at, the ladies will be loving your ride.  

Setup with Randal II 180’s, Biltin Bearings, as well as your choice of either Gumballs or Big Zig Limes.

Val and Val CC

Val

Length - 36, 42, 44

Width - 10” (42, 44), 9” (36”)

Val is just like the man himself, take a chilled out cruise, or let loose on a parking garage. A symmetrical board with a tip and tail for your riding pleasure.  This board is probably one of our most versatile boards that we have in our line-up.  With the right setup this board can be crossed from everything from a nice stylish cruiser to a board that is ready to tackle the biggest hills.  

The hourglass shape of the foot platform provides plenty foot room as well as a nice platform for dancing.  The tip and tail can be used for manuals as well as shuvits.  Your mind is the only thing that will limit you from performing anything on this board.  

The Val CC adds concave to the board.  This makes it a great freeride board.  Lock your feet into the concave and have full control over your slides as well as plenty of leverage over your trucks.  

If you are more interested in dance oriented riding, we suggest just getting the standard Val.  The added concave of the Val CC adds more sensitivity to the board, thus taking away from its dancing ability.  

Concave and Kicktails available on all Decks!

In a continuing effort to offer the most innovative and highest quality longboard skatebords out there, Balance Longboards is now offering  Kicktails and concaved hardwood decks.  As far as we know this is a first in the industry and Balance is proud to be the first and only hardwood longboard skateboard company to offer this option.  

Both the kicktails and the concave are options that can be added to any deck.  For those of you that are unfamiliar with these terms or the technology associated with these terms, a kicktail is a slight raise to either the tip or tail of the board allowing the rider to have more leverage on the board.  This comes in very handy in manuals and shovit type tricks.  Concave is the way the board curves up towards the edges.  This really allows your feet to grip the board and gives you more leverage on the board from side to side.  Concave always helps you stay more connected to the board no matter how hard you are carving your local streets or how fast you are bombing your local hills.

Love life,

Tom

New Models and Layups

I would like to introduce two new models to the Balance line.  First our dancer model called Footloose. It is 52” wide, 9 inches wide.  Long enough to comfortably walk on, but not to long where you will get lost somewhere in the middle and just wide enough so you always know where your feet are at.  Our second new model is called Ol’ Skool.  Bringing it back, it was the first board I ever shaped and now it is available again.  It features two different placements for the rear truck to customize how you would like it to ride. 

Also I am offering 6 different layups for each model.  Now you can choose which ever layup you like with whatever board you like.  No longer does a certain layup go with a certain board. It is all up to you.  With six different models to choose from and six different layups to choose from, you now more than ever have a chance to choose a board that is uniquely yours.

Love your life
