Lush Longboards Mako Pintail

So then, after a LONG hiatus from boarding, I dug out my old Lush Kilima from the back of the van - she was in a state - bearings were seized, wheels were crusty & dry but I had the urge to get back on. Mission - get some advice & buy some replacement parts. After trawling the net I discovered Vandem - I`m glad I did!! They helped me through the replacement parts & I was so chuffed with the service & knowledge that I also decided to treat myself to the Mako Elite Build as a second board. (And actually a cruiser as well for a third board) (+ other bits & pieces including protection cos it`s been a long time & I know I`ll be horizontal at some stage) What else can say - These guys know their stuff - they give spot-on advice, the Lush Mako is stunning - Everything arrived on time, very well packaged, (Plastic-free, which I like a lot!!) communication was fantastic either by email or phone and I`m more than delighted. The extra freebies like stickers & bushing kits (Over a certain order value) were also a welcome touch. I`m now back riding with an awesome setup and a massive smile on my fat face. Money well spent in my opinion. My advice... Don't buy from, some random internet seller - speak to Adam & Team @ Vandem, budget for a decent board, and buy it from here... you will not be disappointed - I will be back for sure (Already got my eye on board #4) Summary? - 10/10 & 110% Cheers guys.

Great shopping experience! My longboard came very well packed and protected. There was a nice hand written note with it which makes it all the more special! Great presence on social media too. Highly recommended!

I only just bought the Lush Minnow as my first longboard, but unfortunately my girlfriend decided she wanted to start learning, so I had to get another board. I reluctantly gave her the Minnow, as that is an amazing board, and got myself the Mako. I was not disappointed! The Mako is so good to skate and really well made. Perfect for cruising around on even on less than ideal paths. Besides the Minnow which is a compact, this was my first full sized pintail and I would highly recommend it, even to beginners. It’s also surprisingly light for its size. To summarise: Minnow - Great. Mako - Great.

First I bought an Arbor Axis Flagship that I really like, but the pintail suits me better on turns. Being able to overlap the the board on both sides suits my style when turning. At 56, 43 years since my first board and 42 years since I last rode a board, this Lush board has increased my confidence.

You guys were so friendly on the phone and thank you for all the advice. I ordered on a Friday afternoon and received my board the next day! I was so chuffed and excited. Thank you!!!
