Hi all.

I just got one of these recently and wanted to see if any of you have ridden one of these.

This is one hell of a ride, this thing can carve like no other and the faster you go the more maneuverable it is..
This board is also great for sliding and slolom..I can't say enough good things about this board.
I have the Impala and I love it.

The only draw back to this board is you have had to done a bit of real surfing to use this board..You ride surf style.I would also recommend a good set of pads and spine armor for the wipeouts. This board will throw you off the first few times you ride it. But once you get the hang of it you will be hooked.

Product Specifications:
Length: 51" inches
Max.Width: 12" inches
Weight: 13 lbs (6.25 kg)
Materials: Fibreglass Composite
Wheels: 80 mm (X8)
Bearings: ABEC-5
Rear Truck: Randal RII-18.

I can't post a link to OSB or the pics of the board so you will have to Google it..Look for On Shore Boards Sorry stupid rules you know. I would post pics and video of the board in action but i need more post first.

I only longboard so it will be a bit before I reach the proper post count, then i will edit this post to add in the links and pics.

No, I haven't ridden one of those. All I know is that Randal 180's are one of the best trucks for carving and pretty darn good for LDP...

51 inches is pretty long, even for a longboard. That's imbetween the standard cruiser/speedboard length and a typical dancer board length.

Sounds like a great board. Many components I haven't heard of (x8?) but main thing is your having fun, so it's all good =). Cheers.

X8 are the type of wheel, it's an in-line wheel. I wish I could post the pics of this board.

I have gotten many strange looks riding this board. Only draw back is the weight when it comes to lugging it back up the hill for another run.

Looks really cool, a little scarey but I would to give it a try. A lot pricey.
