Landyachtz Wolfshark 2024 Longboard Deck

Going fast sideways

To break it down very quickly: The big flares and microdrop at the front anchor your front foot perfectly, and you know where you are on the deck all the darn time. The W concave in the back is exactly where it needs to be to be useful and not be obtrusive. It's long enough to feel stable, short enough to be agile. If you want to get into downhill with pointy boards and narrow trucks, this is it. If you want to spend as much time going sideways as you do forwards, yeah sure, this is the board for you. I'm still not especially great at sliding, and my poor wolfshark knows it. I fall over a lot. My board gets thrown in these falls a lot. I'm happy to report that it's durable! I haven't pounded the nose flat, or really done any damage that would suggest the board has seen the abuse it has. I'm running it with caliber 44° 158mm trucks and cult creators without risers. There's wheelbite if you put your whole bodyweight on your heels and jump up and down, but otherwise this is my apex freeride setup. I've seen people online running narrower trucks and wider wheels though, so slap your go-to freeridey undercarriage on it in the meantime. You'll have a good time I've rambled again, so I'll do some more boiling down. I love the size and shape, concave profile, and how all of it works together. I sometimes wish it was lighter, but I think the momentum helps you hold out slides longer, might be wrong though. It's not conducive to pushing for longer periods of time, but you weren't buying it for that, were you. Yes I do recommend the wolfshark. It won't make you a better skater, but it'll make you more confident and will make you have fun, which will ultimately make you a better skater.
