The Lowrider 2009

Featured, Products 21 Comments

This maple/fibreglass board provides lots of foot space and a deep concave for good grip and comfy long hill bombs. For maximum stability, it has a dropped platform, which gives you a lowered centre of gravity and more stable and comfortable pushing/foot braking.

If you’ve yet not tried a dropped deck, you need to give it a go!

Size: 41″ x 10″ (104,5 cm x 25,5 cm)
Wheelbase: 32,5″ (82,5 cm)
Shape: High Concave, Dropped platform
Construction: 7-ply Canadian hardmaple+2 ply fibreglass
Flex rating: 3

Flex rating 1-5: 1 = Really stiff! 5 = Really soft!

This board is available through our dealers as deck only or complete with components from leading manufacturers such as Randal, Holey and ABEC 11.

    I think I’m going for the Rider setup with Paris trucks and BigZig wheels :)

  5. Kris says:

    i got paris trucks black ones, and the flashbacks, but thinking of changing the wheels and bearings.

  6. Razz says:

    It’s a great board, with loose trucks and soft wheels it’s the most fun board I’ve ever tried! If you dont pick up too much speed that is ;)

    Hey guys just got the board last week really nice!
    Just dont know what wheels i should put on, for a bit mor slidin. Ideas.
    Tough i wonder if you have distributors in Austria or Germany if not I would be really interested.

    PS Going to Sweden end of July where is it good to longboard near Gotheborg.

  8. slipstreamlongboards.com says:

    Hello Andi and thanks for the message!

    Glad to hear you like the board.
    Wheels for sliding is such an personal preference, but I do like the new ABEC 11 Freerides as an all round wheel.
    We do not have any Austrian or German distributors at the moment, but we are interested in any ideas you could have on the matter!
    Slottsskogen in Gothenburg is a great place to cruise around, hang out and meet other longboarders.
    Cheers!

    Hi there!

    I wonder if the lowrider could be drop through mounted to get it even lower for ease of pushing. Would you say thats ok or not recomend it for stability reasons?

    THanks!

  17. slipstreamlongboards.com says:

    Hello Jöran!
    We have actually tried that and it works like a charm. You get a really low ride, and this way the board becomes a little bit more stable.

  18. calle says:

    where can i buy it?

  19. slipstreamlongboards.com says:

    Hey Calle!

    All boards are available through our retailers!

  20. The Legend says:

    Hello! Would this be a good board for me as a beginner on a longboard? I weigh 80 kg.

  21. slipstreamlongboards.com says:

    Hey Legend!

    This is actually the board most beginners prefer when we do demos.
    The wide platform and low centre of gravity make this board more stable than others which is a really good thing when starting out!
