Landyachtz Ripper Postcard Pintail Longboard

The Landyachtz Ripper is the bigger brother of the Dipper - a surfy pintail with some comfy flex, nice rocker and with a kicktail thrown in for good measure.

At 37" it's an inch longer than the Dipper but still fairly compact for a pintail - shorter than the Lush Mako, bigger than the Arbor Fish.

The pintail shape can suffer when made smaller due to being so narrow under the back foot. Not this one! Similar to the Lush Minnow, it's widened up and doesn't taper too much and has a sawn-off tail.

This Ripper is the Postcard graphic from the in-house artists at Landyachtz. It really fits, because riding this board is pretty much the longboarding equivalent of chilling out under the shade of a palm tree.

This board features TKP trucks - street trucks, like you'd find on a regular popsicle. This gives it a much more dippy divey feeling that reacts super well at lower speeds. If you've got your eye on some big hills, however, we'd recommend looking for some RKP (longboard) trucks to offer more stability as the speed picks up.

The Fatty Hawgs are some of my favourite from the Hawgs lineup and give the board a nice plush feeling whilst rolling - whilst being stoneground and with rounded lips so if you want to push a bit harder in your carves, you might just get it sliding out - and it'll feel great.

Landyachtz claim that the Ripper might be the most fun board they've ever made. Bold - and I immediately think of a list of extras I'd want on a board for it to be the most fun I've ever ridden. But then, perhaps I'm forgetting that cruising along with the wind in your hair is simply one of the best feelings in the world - and this board is absolutely set up to remind you of that. Enjoy the ride.
