Gone are those speed wobbles that have kept you from bombing down that nearby hill. Thanks to some innovative longboard designs by a dedicated group of boarders up in Vancouver, B.C. Landyachtz Longboards has helped revolutionize the sport, and have created a healthy community of riders and events along the.

Most notable are their curved decks that place the riding platform closer to the level of the weels effectively lowering the center of gravity, offering a more stable ride (no more wobbles). Other innovations they have on production are decks designed with drop-through trucks to give you stability and still allow for some epic carving.

Their team of riders have been dominating the longboard racing scene for years, winning the IGSA world championship in 2005 and 2006, and you´ll see a good amount of riders using their boards in any serious downhill competition.

They have a bunch of great looking boards on deck for 2009 and come stock with their own brand of trucks (Bear Grizzly & Smokey) that look a lot like Randals. Besides their downhill decks, they have boards designed for carving, travel, hybrid, freeride, and floating.

Three new boards have just been announced : DUALLY, SWTICH, and SPUD. If you order one of these new decks before May 1st, they´ll enter your name in a drawing to receive the first production model of each shape off the production line.
