Landyachtz Pocket Knife Watercolour Surfskate

The Landyachtz Pocket Knife is a foray into the deep-carving, driveway-slashing world of surfskates from one of the biggest and best longboard brands out there.

Armed with years of experience in riding and design, Landyachtz put together the Pocket Knife to hit all the key features of a surfskate, all the way down to the soft griptape so that you don't scuff your booties!

The front truck here is the Bear Banger truck - a super high-angle RKP truck with really tall bushings. The end result is a wicked turny truck that allows you to pump and cutback (woopow!) as you'd expect from a surfskate. Landyachtz claim that less moving parts also makes this a more stable and durable system. Mind you, if I was looking for stability, I wouldn't be looking for a surfskate!

The wheels are a shiny, square lipped 65mm designed with grip in mind - you don't want to be slipping and sliding as you try to pick up speed, pumping along. They will slide though - give them a nudge at the apex of a cutback and you'll hear a satisfying little scrub. Lovely.

This version is finished in a simple and satisfying Watercolour graphic which is mirrored on the griptape - no longer does your graphic face the floor all the time!

Pump it, slash it, just don't go down a big steep hill, and the Pocket Knife will be your surf-trip sidekick and flat-day friend for years to come.

...get pitted!
