Two New Decks - The Platypus and The Rivahh

We have two new decks ready for the summer season.  First comes The Platypus, inspired by surf stomp pads to give extra leverage on the tail of the deck.  Only we didn’t just add a cheezy EVA foam pad to the tail to give you that leverage.  We took the beauty of the hardwood deck to create a functional kicktail.  Take it to your local skate park or bowl, or have a super lively commuter board

Next we have The Rivahh.  Here we have a full functioning concave.  And yes it does create a ton of leverage and locks your feet into your deck.  Charge hard all day, just don’t forget to smile. The Rivahh can also be ordered with customizable concave.  Our standard is 10 degrees of concave, although you can go with some more concave for a more locked in feel, or a little less if you want a looser feel to your ride.  No other company can offer these kinds of options with concave.  

Both of these decks are a first in the industry.  No other hardwood longboard company offers kicktails and concave like we do.  Enjoy the natural beauty of the hardwood decks and now you can have the performance to go along with it.  See the Longboard page for more info or ordering.

Love life,

New Video! - Everybody Cut Footloose

Hey everyone, 

We just posted a new video on our video page.  Check it out, its just a quick edit of myself on the new model Footloose.  Footloose is our new dancing board, after a few months of design we finally nailed down a shape for this guy.  52” long and 8 -3/4 wide, its the perfect shape for dancing.  Long enough to walk all over, but not so huge where you get lost somewhere in the middle.  It will put a smile on your face.

The Dancer has arrived - Footloose

After about 4 months of saying it was almost complete and too many designs to remember, Balance is finally releasing the Footloose.  52” long and 9” wide, long enough to walk all over, but not too long to compromise maneuverability or to get you lost somewhere in your dancing travels.  5” nose and 5” tail for shovits and manuals type tricks, wheel cut outs to eliminate wheel bit.  This thing is smooth carver as well as an awesome ride to show off all your hottest cross stepping moves.  See the Longboard page for more info or ordering.  Love life!  

Original Pintail

Original Pintail

Length - 35”, 40”, 44”

Width - 8 3/4”

The Original Pintail is a simple, but stylish pintail.  One that only Balance could have created.  This is a great cruiser/carver that will defiantly turn some heads.  Enjoy the ride, and Find your Balance.

Setup: Randal RII 150’s Trucks, Abec 11 Stickers 65mm wheels, and Biltin Bearings

Ol' Skool

Length - 34”, 41”

Width - 8”

Going back to the first board Tom ever shaped.  This unique design features two different options for the placement of the rear truck.  Place the trucks up further forward if you want a sweet carver, or move em back if you want to go out and bomb hills.  Either way the different truck placements allow the rider to further customize the board for their suited style.

The Platypus

The Platypus

Lengths - 33”, 36”, 39”

Width - 9”

The Platypus is probably the most unique board in our line.  It is all based off of the Platypus shape of the board and the kicktail in the rear.  The kicktail makes for a extremely playful and agile board.  Use it as a commuter, take it to your local skatepark, or bomb your local garage for some freeride fun. 

For 2010 we have added a bit of concave in the forebody of the board.  It really helps lock your front foot in, especially when you are carving up bowls.  We also added an extra inch onto the tip of the board.  This extra bit up in the front now allows for some manuals, shuvits, or whatever else your creative mind can think of.  If you need it, it is up there.

One thing is certain, the Platypus will put a smile on your face.  Enjoy the ride!
