Lush Longboards Freebyrd Lo-Pro Woodgrain

I'm so glad I did my research and bought a board from these folks. I've been telling myself I'll get a longboard 'one day' for 20 years and finally ran out of excuses recently. The Freebyrd woodgrain is a beautiful-looking board and the hardware that comes with it is top notch. As a newcomer to longboarding I perhaps didn't need to go with the 'elite' spec, particularly as the Cultron wheels don't lend themselves to learning to slide. But all I needed to rectify this was to contact Vandem on WhatsApp and got a recommendation of the Cult Chronicles and all is good. Yes I spent a bit more to get the setup right, but having waited so long for one of these it's become a passion project. And having been able to cruise around making the most of the Indian summer I can wholeheartedly say it's been worth every penny. Oh, and I nearly forgot to mention the epic delivery. The board got to me in less than 24 hours, which is damn impressive. These guys know their stuff and know what service means, so all I'll say is 62 people and counting can't be wrong!

I only came back to skateboarding very recently and started with a fairly cheap board... it was only when I got this board that I realised how big the gap in quality is. If I pick this board up and give one of the wheels a spin, it keeps going, and going, and going....unlike the other board. The ride? Very smooth, with the large wheels easily managing much of what London pavements could chuck at it (and me!). I'm not so bothered about the visual side, but it is a very nice looking board. It came with the trucks pretty tight - which was exactly what I needed to start with - and as I'm getting more experience I'm gradually loosening them a bit at a time for better turning Service was excellent - my chat with Adam over the phone was very helpful, not least because when I mentioned wanting a board for land paddling, Adam was completely upfront and said he'd no experience of that. No sales ********, just honestly given information where he had it and being clear where he didn't. That sort of thing builds confidence for me that I'm dealing with people who can be relied on. Finally - delivery was very fast in good secure packaging, and no plastic, which is important to me. Thank you.

I've never skateboarded/longboarded before, but after being inspired by a friend I decided I would give it a go, as I was looking for a new hobby that would get me out of the house. This board is not only beautiful but also feels super stable and easy to ride. I've had it less than a week and I already feel super comfortable on the board, and I'm hoping to start learning a few basic tricks in the near future. It does seem like a lot to spend on your first board if you are new to longboarding, but it really is worth every penny!

This is now the 3rd longboard I have bought from Vandem (as part of my collection) - as always - great advice, spot-on delivery times, and quality to die for... If you want the best board for your needs & want solid advice from guys who know & care about skating & customer service - buy from here. 110% recommended every single time !! Thanks, Vandam !!

Total novice to longboarding so did a lot of research before buying. Really happy with my board, it’s low to the ground and feels steady but has nice flexibility - swapped out the bushings for a softer set which feels more comfortable for me. After a few weeks it feels like it’s really breaking in nicely (and is sounding less squeaky). Really enjoyable to ride. Great customer service - Matt phoned me to check an issue with my order. Have already recommended Vandem to loads of people
