It's genuinely difficult to say how impressed we were with our first visit to Vandem. We (my young son and I) were treated with such respect, patience and warmth.
Whilst we knew very little, the advice and help was never patronizing, indeed it was almost as if we were made to feel part of the brotherhood of longboarders and welcomed into the fold! What really blew me away was that upon telephoning a day later to enquire about another board for my (other) son I was told that a certain product that I had (already) purchased was now cheaper and they insisted on crediting the difference. This was without me knowing this or asking!
I have bought huge amounts of kit over the years and this has been the best experience by far.
'Support your local (specialist) shop' has perhaps become a bit of a cliche but I now would not dream of using anyone else for what has already become a wonderful new sport for our whole family.
Thank you Vandem and see you all soon!

Product ordered: Lush Longboards Freebyrd Lo-Pro Woodgrain Drop-through Longboard
Lush Nomad Cruiser Board - Surf
The new full sized cruiser board from Lush Longboards.
In our opinion this is just about ideal for most adult sized skaters while still being much smaller than a full sized longboard.
This little gem gives you enough space and board feel for maximum comfort while you cruise in style.
Keeping thing compact means it's super easy to carry about when hopping on the bus or tube and convenient to stash under a desk when you rock up to work.
These beauties are pre gripped and built ready to rip right out of the box.
They are available in two spec Elite and Pro:
Lush Nomad Cruiser Board - Surf: Elite Complete Spec
Loaded up with aftermarket parts, the Nomad Elite setup is a whole lot of performance in a pint-sized package.
- Wheels: Cult Chronicle 65mm Longboard Wheels White (Stoneground)
- Trucks: Sabre Skateboard Truck 170mm
- Bearings: Sabre Built-In Labyrinth Bearings
Lush Nomad Cruiser Board - Surf: Pro Complete Spec
A little more affordable than the Elite setup, the Nomad Pro is still stacked out with aftermarket parts, selected to give the best possible performance for a little less cash.- Wheels: Lush Smoothie 62mm Longboard Wheels
- Trucks: Sabre Skateboard Truck 170mm
- Bearings: Vandem Value Skate Bearings - ABEC 5

Is the Elite setup worth the extra £45?
For only an extra £45, you can upgrade the "Pro" setup to the "Elite" Level build.
The Elite setup is a pretty heavy wheel and bearing upgrade over the Pro.
You get Sabre Built-In Labyrinth Bearings - fully shielded, easy to clean, with built in bearing spacers. They roll faster and last longer than the Pro level metal shielded ABEC5 bearings.
The Elite complete also includes Cult Chronicle 65mm Longboard Wheels White (Stoneground), poured from a higher grade urethane. Premium urethane rolls fater, lasts longer, and generally injects a whole new level of life into the board - once you've skated decent wheels, you won't want anything else!
Less obvious is the wheel upgrade. Your extra £45 gets you a set of Cult Chronicle over the Pro build's Lush Smoothie. Apart from the obvious size difference, the Cult Chronicle are poured from a higher grade of urethane - an invisible difference that you will immediately notice as soon as you push the board off.
Just like the bearings, the wheel upgrade makes your board roll faster and last longer - what's not to like??
If you look at the SRP difference of these components and add them together you'll see that the upgrade from Pro to Elite represents serious value - trust us, it's well worth it.
Coupled with this, we've noticed that almost everyone who makes it into our shop ends up with an Elite setup - the value is clear once you have the board in your hands!
Customise your ride!
We can change the truck bushings on this board to suit your weight and riding style!
This way your board will come set up perfectly for you, straight out of the box.
Just refer to the table below and make your choice as you add to cart!
| Rider weight | Bushing Hardness |
| 10 - 50kgs | Extra Soft |
| 50 - 72kgs | Softer |
| 72 - 90kgs | Stock Setup |
| 90 - 104kgs | Harder |
| 104 - 120kgs | Extra Hard |
Some other things to consider...
- If in doubt - go softer! Turnier boards are easier to balance on, and a lot more fun to skate.
- If you are "between hardnesses," we would recommend the softer option. So for example, for a 73kg rider, "Soft" rather than "Stock Setup" might be a better choice. Get in touch if you're not sure!
- if you want a very turny board - say for a dancing longboard - then it's worth going one stop softer than you otherwise would do. Watch out for wheelbite though!
- Likewise, if you want a board for downhill speed, then go up a step harder than the weight table suggests.
- You do have a bit of adjustment in the truck's kingpin nut, but we would suggest that if you have more than two threads showing then it's time to go to a harder bushing.
- If you already have a board (or some trucks!) and you would like to change your bushings to suit your weight, check out our truck/bushing compatability chart!
