Making The Change From A Shortboard To A Sector 9 Longboard

By Tyrone Laurino


As technology changes so too does sport and with it the practitioners of the activity. With the development of longer skateboards changing the face of skateboarding, the Sector 9 Longboard provides a great starting point to make the switch. Now all it takes to get carving down a hill is the decision to get out and get riding.

Longer boards deliver a smoother ride. The longer wheelbase provides an experience where speed and maneuverability is consistent without sacrificing style or substance. With the wind blowing in your face while you take a downhill curve the sense of freedom and excitement is palpable.

Skating is a social sport and never more enjoyable than when friends are included. With a longer board the style of skating changes and new terrain is conquered. Gone are the concrete skate parks, staircases and metal railings to grind, all exchanged for the open road and undulating terrain soon to be discovered with a pack of friends.

Getting to work just gets easier and more healthy when skating. A longer board is still comfortable to ride even with a longer commute and is the greenest option out there. The board takes up less space and is much more easily transported than a bicycle if the commute requires buses or subways.

A change in equipment also brings the opportunity to learn new skills. The longer boards used in this style of skating are suited to different competitive events such as downhill and slalom street course activities. The tricks and techniques involved in these events are developed through practice and innovation. Since the sport is still quite young, there are many tricks and techniques still to be developed.

A longer board also provides a great opportunity for cross-training. Surfers, windsurfers and snowboarders can all use the board to keep in shape and practice their techniques. The board is a versatile and adaptable training tool that does not need anything more than road to roll on in order to be practicable.

The feeling of trying something new is refreshing and rewarding. A Sector 9 Longboard delivers on those feelings in a big way. It's just a matter of time before the wind is ruffling your hair and the adrenaline is surging while you carve a gnarly hill at speed. Making the change from a short board has never been easier.
