The battle of a longboarders life is constantly choosing boards. With different companies to choose from such as Sector Nine, Landyachtz, Arbor, Element, Jet, Comet, Black Tie, and many more you have a wide variety of shapes and styles.
However our main focus today is Sector Nine and Landyachtz. These two board companies have been ranked 1st and second, and the results changing from site to site but these companies are always top 2. So today I've decided to do an overall factual review with some of my opinion to talk about these boards.
Sector Nine, is a high priced company with great quality boards. They are also known well for their wheels too. Their boards are usually manufactured from a high quality maple or bamboo. Bamboo for cruising or carving and maple for free ride and downhill. I myself ride a Super Shaka from Sector Nine, with Butterballs their well known wheels. I find Sector 9 to be a great company for freeride and downhill boards, but not so much for cruising.
Landyachtz has great cruisers such as the Bamboo Totem, but I don't really like many other boards except for the "Switch" series. You'll find if you buy a Landyachtz board it won't have great pop, if you're looking for boards like that go for the Bustin YoFace, or the only good cruising Landyachtz which is the ripple ridge. Besides that in my opinion they have a few good downhill boards, but alot of them de- laminate after 10 minutes of rain or even a few ghostride kickflips.
Landyachtz recently released there dinghy line making users more happy with many cool designs to choose from. I'm not saying I don't like Landyachtz, I myself have owned an Evo, Ripple Ridge, and Switch 40, and ridden some friends Top Speeds, I find them to be amazing decks, but some of the designs I don't like such as the Wolfshark's. Design doesn't really matter though. I find Landyachtz's drop-deck playforms rather unique. Not that it drops but how it's done. Such as on boards like the R5 or the Evo.
Overall I personally find the better company to be Landyachtz. Disagree? vote in this weeks poll!
