The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vandemlongboardshop.co.uk\/collections\/landyachtz\" title=\"Landyachtz Longboards\"\u003eLandyachtz\u003c\/a\u003e Katana, designed with team rider So Tanaka is a symmetrical freeride board with all the bells and whistles designed for solid speeds and big slides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/so_tanaka_\" title=\"So Tanaka instagram\"\u003eSo Tanaka goes extremely hard\u003c\/a\u003e. You don't have to do that to enjoy this board. But if you want to, he will be stoked...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a classic stiff symmetrical ergonomic freeride machine, harking back to legendary shapes such as the Hackbrett Tripper, Arbor Vugenhausen and Landyachtz Top Speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCNC'ed flush mounts and massive wheelwells mean you know exactly where you stand - at 0° wedge, and as little risk of wheelbite as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWheelbase options from 20.5\" to 21.5\" will complement your choice of trucks - the symmetrical shape is asking for a symmetrical truck setup, but a split angle setup would absolutely go if you wanted it to. Just make sure to check - via the sweet little die cut griptape details - that you're jumping on it the right way round!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLandyachtz are building it into a complete with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vandemlongboardshop.co.uk\/products\/bear-grizzly-gen-6-longboard-truck-155mm-50-black\" title=\"Bear Grizzly Gen 6 155mm 50 degree\"\u003e155mm Bear Grizzly trucks\u003c\/a\u003e and 63mm 83A EZ Slide Hawgs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e34\" in length and 9\" wide will work for a ride range of stances and the concave is actually fairly mellow. In the past this type of board often had super steep concave and aggressive wheel arches which - whilst they did do something to lock you in - were also largely unnecessary if you have good technique, and uncomfortable regardless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Katana has learned from that and has a comfy concave that does more than enough to keep your feet in place without looking and feeling weird. Gentle wheel flares act as a datum for your toes in particular, so you know you're pushing in the right spot without having to look down at your feet before throwing a slide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're happy that Landyachtz has blessed us with a few of these after the original drop in Europe did not include them!
