Bomb Hills, Not Countries,

This review is from: Sector 9 Waimea Bamboo Longboard - 39.5in (Sports)
Wonderful longboard!!! I bought the first version of this when it came out a few years ago. I have since owned 3 of them as this board is one of my favorites to "push" on. It has a very unique "W" shaped deck that is quite wide and provides stability. This is a very universal board as you can do a little bit of everything. It handles speed decent enough (though the deck has a rather high center of gravity due to the thick risers so bombing any serious hills will result in death wobble), it's long enough to perform basic dancing, and good size for sliding (although the clear grip prevents one from performing any king of advanced sliding because you fly right off the board.)This board is perfect for any carver; the wide deck lets you shift your weight quickly and if you loosen the trucks a little you can pump forever. I could not recommend a better first board for anybody new to the sport. The bamboo provides a lot of durability to the board, so it will take a beating from anybody. It has very little flex so again good for beginners, or anybody who doesn't like trampoline boards. One warning with this board: after the grip wears off, if the board is exposed to a large amount of water, it WILL warp. It probably warps just as easily on an airplane; I destroyed one of my precious boards from water saturation but then again most longboards warp with too much water.

A good longboard,
By Matt Venora (WeHa, CT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sector 9 Waimea Bamboo Longboard - 39.5in (Sports)
This is a good longboard. When you get it though, the trucks are pretty tight so if you like to carve you have to loosen them. The griptape on this board is clear so after a while it gets really dirty. Overall, this is a good board.

Best city board,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sector 9 Waimea Bamboo Longboard - 39.5in (Sports)
This Sector 9 beauty is the best longboard I've ever ridden through the busy city. She comes equipped with Charger trucks that almost know where you want to turn, Biothane wheels that slide when you crush it, but grip without slip, and a sexy shape with stylish graphic to match. This particular model of the Sector 9 Bamboo series has been discontinued, (as happens to most Sector 9 models) but it's performance is matched by it's look alike of the same series, the Rincon. Sector 9 Bamboo boards provide a sturdy ride with a lightness that makes pushing around the city a breeze.39" length, 9" wide Recommended wheels, 36mm - 70mm (anything larger and you risk wheel bite)
