The Sector 9 Arrow longboard deck is a perfect all in one downhill longboard deck that can still be quite a comfy ride around town, unlike a lot of downhill boards. The wedge up front makes it a great go to spot for your foot making for easy pushing every time regardless of being able to actually see it, which isn't always possible when you're mobbing through heavy traffic, that wedge also does the same thing when heading downhill, and I've definitely seen my fair share of people biffing it when they overshoot the front of their board with their foot when sliding. Everything down to te design itself has me loving this board and I'm sure you will too.
All of our Sector 9 longboards in stock from minis to dance boards and drop throughs to top mounts we have it all!

Sector 9 Bomber Deck
If you haven't guessed by now I'll gladly inform you that the Sector 9 Bomber deck is best suited for bombing hills and this board is always down for the occasion. This board has wonderfully deep cnc'd wheel wells for larger wheels as well as Sector 9 longboards new double U concave in back for a more locked in feeling at high speed. Along with this amazing new concave it also offers a little wedge up front to keep that front foot from slipping and adding a ton more control during slides when combined with the back concave. If you have a craving for some downhill or freeride style riding then look no further than the bomber it won't steer you wrong.
Sector 9 Javelin Deck
The Sector 9 Javelin is an extremely solid deck for downhill longboarding and freeriding. The Javelin offers a directional shape that looks like it needs to be out on the hills as well as a topmount truck system for the most control and predictability you can have in any board. The Cutouts on this baby also allow for bigger wheels meaning more speed, and more thane to shed when you buy wheels. Whether you're just a beginner or you've been thrashin' hills since 'nam the Javelin is just what you need beneath your feet.

Sector 9 Barge deck
The Sector 9 Barge Downhill Deck reminds me of something I made as a wee lad when I first started out skating. The Barge is a super simplistic and really straightforward design, no fancy nose or anything which actually goes great with a foot stop on the front. I also love that they added in a kicktail on a pure downhill longboard deck because most people will only ever ride 1 board religiously, and the kicktail makes it so it goes from hitting the hills to cruising the streets with ease.
Sector 9 Dojo DHD
The Sector 9 Dojo Downhill Deck is perfect for beginners all the way up to even the most seasoned veterans. This longboard is awesome because of its low cost, foot locking micro drops for when you need something to push giant when sliding or railing a huge corner, and even a wonderful hourglass symmetrically shaped board so you can ride it either way with no drawback when busting out 180's I love the Dojo's look and can't wait to give it a try this weekend.
Sector 9 Shoots Sidewinder deck
The Sector 9 Shoots sidewinder deck pairs perfectly with gullwing sidewinder trucks and is cut to compensate for their hard carves and huge turn radius. This board is also cut with a drop through mounting setting you lower to the ground for easier pushing and giving you a lower center of gravity to kind of even out how squirrely sidewinders can be. The Artwork and functionality of this longboard are absolutely beautiful and why you don't already have one I do not know.
Sector 9 R.A.W. bamboo deck
The Sector 9 R.A.W. Bamboo deck is a well cambered and responsive deck that you just can't go wrong with. With the holidays coming up so soon I know people are looking for something that's going to please whoever they get it for and this longboard is sure to do so. Although its a pretty basic pintail shape it has wheel cutouts to accommodate most wheel sizes and is just the right size, not too big and not too small at 38.5". The R.A.W. makes the perfect gift and the ultimate ride.
Sector 9 Bamboo Rhythm Deck
The Sector 9 Bamboo Rhythm is truly something you want in your quiver. This longboard deck is ultra flexy and responsive and will offer a nimble and lively ride no matter what you throw on the bottom. The pintail is a timeless look that's about the equivalent of driving an old 70's car around, and with the shock absorption and liveliness of the bamboo to boot this is a board you're sure to love.
Sector 9 Gauntlet
The Sector 9 Gauntlet is my favorite drop through of the new sector 9 gauntlet, it's a very straight forward board with a symmetrical build that rides the same way no matter how you ride it, and that's something I personally always look for in a longboard. This board also has a little extra foot space right before the trucks so you have a little extra wiggle room when sliding. I think the Gauntlet is a very well put together board, and everything from the shape to the design has me drooling.
Sector 9 bomber
The Sector 9 Bomber was made for all that its name implies, and if you haven't guessed it by now it was designed for nothing other than taking to the hills. The Bomber has a double concave in back for extra traction when hitting the hills and even a little wedge in front for a little something extra to push against or a 'feel good' spot to put your feet when you can't look down at high speed. I think the Bomber is a great downhill longboard for any rider and it's soon to make it into my quiver as well.
Sector 9 Arrow
The Sector 9 Arrow is an amazing downhill board for any first time riders or seasoned veterans alike. This board has noticeable and not uncomfortable foot wedge (which a lot of boards that provide a drop/wedge do) and an overall very straightforward shape for downhill riding. The Sector 9 Arrow is sure to provide any and all downhill longboard needs for any rider and is sure to please as a present for the holidays.

Sector 9 Javelin DHD
The Sector 9 Javelin is quite the downhill board. With all of S9's tweaks and refinements this board has easily become on the best in the downhill world to date at least as a topmount. A lot of people still don't realize all of the advantages of a topmounted board and all of the control it gives you. Where it doesn't make up sheer speed and easy sliding it creates something that can be controlled much easier when cornering and makes you feel totally in control when sliding. If you like being the master of your board and not having to cooperate with what the longboard wants to do then the Javelin is for you.
Sector 9 Barge DHD
The Sector 9 Barge screams simplicity and in all honesty is still probably my favorite of Sector 9's new downhill lineup. The rounded edges will surely prevent curbing or your board accidentally slipping out and smashing into some random curb or wall. This longboard also has a nice kicktail for when you need to pop off of those curbs you could potentially smash into and adds a little extra control. The Barge is perfect for anyone that needs something that gets down to business and forgets about all the quirky add ons of other high end downhill board.
Sector 9 Dojo DHD longboard
The Sector 9 Dojo will teach you a thing or two, however it has nothing to do with martial arts. That being said it's an amazing downhill board that has everything a good downhill board needs, its symmetrical shape and micro drops create something low to the ground that can be ridden both ways either depending on your day or if you're coming out of a 180. Nothing is tougher than having to ride something asymmetrical coming out of a 180 switchback. The Dojo is great longboard for anyone that needs something lower cost that can compete with even the most expensive boards.
Sector 9 Joel Pro Mini
The Sector 9 Joel pro mini is quite versatile little guy, and can be used to hit the local ditch, shred the town bowl, or even be used as a nimble around town cruiser due to its small wheelbase. This board actually comes with a cutout on the bottom that is suppose to be a lowkey 'rolling' tray for all of you tobacco rolling needs. This is honestly what sells this board more than anything else, in addition this longboard also has 2 kicktails for twice the fun!
Sector 9 floater mini
The Sector 9 floater mini is recommended for just about everything except floating, personally I wouldn't take it out on the water but word on the street is with bindings you can actually wakeboard with these. However, aside from gimmicky wakeboarding this baby can slash any ditch you throw at it and is small enough to be stashed in any highschool locker. The Floater is a great all around longboard and I'm sure a lot of people's college years won't be the same without it.
Sector 9 Secrets
There's no secret about the Sector 9 Secrets this longboard packs some serious versatility. No matter what you're doing the Secrets has a little something up its sleeve. The small wheelbase makes it perfect for campus cruising and weaving through that rush hour traffic with ease. Street corners and sharp turns on ramps are no problem for this little guy and if you want something that can do it all then the secret is out of the bag now.
Sector 9 Super Tubes
Man oh man, is Sector 9 longboards ever stepping up their LONG board game this year. The Sector 9 super tubes is an amazing 3 and a half feet long which doesn't sound like much but that's basically the size of riding a midget. This super cruiser has an amazing flexy camber and some seriously comfortable concave. I love using the board shops super tubes demo for dancing in my free time and if you can carry the extra board length around then there's no reason you should not be on one right now.
Sector 9 Voyager
The Sector 9 Voyager is a great addition to the quiver for any voyage that you may need to go on. This board is awesome for beginners or anyone for that matter who needs something to skate to and from work, school, or the stores.
The Voyager longboard is paired well with Sector 9 wheels, gullwing trucks, and BON abec 7 bearings. This is a setup that can get the job done without breaking the bank. I like to ride a board with knowing full well that pockets are geared out just as nicely and I think you will too.

Sector 9 Green Machine
The Sector 9 Green machine is a great board that comes equipped with a camber for super poppy flex and the ability to preload into carves. The kicktail will also prove useful when taking sharper than usual turns or you need something to push against when heading downhill.
The Green machine longboard is best set up with a basic 70mm square lipped wheel, some bear trucks, and BON Abec 7's. This is a really standard setup that a lot of people love and if you're new to the scene gives you something to build off of without blowing your budget right away.

Sector 9 Ledger longboard
The Sector 9 Ledger longboard is a great all around board for cruising the town or just hitting up your local market. I personally love riding my pintails downhill because they're not exactly designed to do so and provide a little extra challenge. These are great first boards and if you want to get into the downhill world there's nothing better to get you up to speed then a longboard like the Sector 9 Ledger.
Sector 9 G-Land
Whoaaa, I know what you're thinking right now "Holy sweet balls of flaming dook that is one big board". Now usually this yacht of a longboard can turn a lot of people off, however, this board can one mean ride when you just want to go out and blow off some steam on a nice cruise, or even throw down some dance steps for the hell of it. The Sector 9 G-land longboard can be a little unwieldy and large but don't let that stop you if want something that's going to be a smooth sail when hitting the streets.
Sector 9 Sentinel II
The Sector 9 Sentinel II is an upgraded version of the Sector 9 Sentinel longboard as the name suggests, all they really did was just add some extra footspace to make it a little easier to control the squirrely dual kingpin contraptions on the bottom, and don't hear me wrong they are amazing cruising and carving trucks it's simply a problem with the Sentinel longboard that needed to be addressed and now has been.
Sector 9 Ireland bamboo longboard
Aye, like most things Irish you would be most lucky to pick up one of these Sector 9 Ireland longboards. The classic pintail with a little swallowtail end. Now we'll automatically assume that this is going to be your go-to beer run board, and trust me no one is going to blame you, in fact it would be a little disappointing if you didn't use it for such. But aside from grabbing intoxicating goodies, this longboard is amazing for getting around and doing so with the suaveness of an Irishman or Irishwoman. This board does not discriminate.
Sector 9 Shoots longboard
The Sector 9 Shoots longboard is a perfect match up for anyone trying to get some serious carving and cruising done in the most stylish way possible. The Shoots longboard is most likely named after its 5 wonderfully flexy plys of bamboo that or I could just be totally wrong and it's because it can shoot through traffic with ease of turning due to it's dual kingpin trucks and low pushing platform for not only easier pushing but a lower center of gravity making for more powerful pushing.

Sector 9 R.A.W.
The Sector 9 R.A.W. longboard is a great board for cruising about the town or taking to some mild hills for some wind in your hair and the amazing feeling of your wheels whirring beneath you. Anyone is sure to love the classic pintail shape and the awesome design that Sector 9 decided to slap on. My first board was a pintail and I still use it religiously to dance around and hit the town in style. As far as longboards go you simply just can't go wrong with the Sector 9 R.A.W.
Sector 9 A.E.V.
Whatever A.E.V. stands for it must be pretty flipping cool, because this cruiser is amazing for tending to whatever niche you might be interested in. Everything from slashing pools and ditches, to just cruising from class to class, the Sector 9 A.E.V. can get it done. With Christmas nearing everyone needs a great a gift for those youngins or your loved one, and the A.E.V. longboard is sure to leave a look of shock and awe on their faces as they open it.
The Sector 9 Chamber
A lot of people especially children before they're able to have cars can often feel 'stuck' since getting around on foot these days is truly just a hassle. The world is huge and unfortunately we just weren't equipped with the sheer stamina and speed it takes to get around everywhere we need to go in one day. The Sector 9 Chamber changes all of that, with a nice light design to boot so you're not lugging it around when you have to carry it. This longboard is the ultimate cruiser and if getting around is a problem then there's nothing quite like the magic of a sidewinder board getting you from point A to point B with no problem.
Sector 9 Feast
The Sector 9 feast is a great board for sliding an taking to the hills for an awesome freeriding sesh. The Feast longboard sports a pretty nice shape that allows for wheels 70mm and above without biting leaving a lot of space to play around with which is always nice when freeriding because you never know what you'll find a deal on. Overall the feast is a great all around board as it's not overly speed stiff meaning it can still be used to cruise around town when you're not hitting the hills. This board can be set up in many different ways and the versatility in this board definitely makes it worth the price tag.
Sector 9 Rhythm Bamboo
The Sector 9 Bamboo Rhythm is a great choice for anyone wanting something simplistic that rides like a dream and has a classic shape that can never go wrong. Some styles of clothing never die out and neither do pintails, they've been around since the dawn of longboards and most closely resemble longboards than any other shape. While they may not be able to the hills as hard and can't be slid around all willy nilly that's just not their job. If you want something you can ride down the street and get mad style point and compliments for then a pintail like the Rhythm is your right hand man.
Sector 9 Swamis bamboo longboard
The Sector 9 Swamis longboard is a nice short, stout little guy that despite its size and kicktail still leaves a considerable amount of foot space to use when riding around campus I especially like mine because it squeezes ever so perfectly into my locker, and when I go to the farmers market after can just be stuffed right into my bag so I'm not walking around tagging people in the sides. If portability and functionality are something you desire then look no further than the Swamis longboard.
Sector 9 Nica
The Sector 9 Nica board is an amazing use of one of natures most sustainable resources, that resource being bamboo of course! It has a truly amazing flex that really can't be compared with any other kind of material and a lot of people won't ride any cruiser now unless they're bamboo or a bamboo/fiberglass ply hybrid. It's really changed a lot of peoples mind about long rides because the bamboo has such amazing dampening qualities it's almost like having shocks on your board, and until something can be this comfortable to ride AND be from something that's completely recyclable and grows in abundance how can you not back a longboard made with bamboo.
Sector 9 Madeira Bamboo longboard
The best aspect of the Sector 9 Madeira longboard in my opinion is the fact that bamboo grows about a foot week, in fact it's a weed, that can grow literally inches away from each other without killing each other off. What this means is a totally sustainable source for boards with no worries of really running out, unlike its maple counterpart.
The Madiera longboard has a classic pintail shape with a wonderful taco mold that has years upon years of development and has evolved into a basic shape that suits just about any cruisers needs. It's not harsh on the feet and it provides just enough leverage to make those tight turns right when you need to, and there's a lot to love about a simplistic board that has tons of functionality and style.

Sector 9 Soup Bowls longboard
Sector 9 Soup bowls is best for tearing bowls, hitting the ditches or just taking it to the local corner store to pick up some brews. No matter your needs the Soup Bowls longboard will bring something to the table that you're sure to love, unless you have Shaq's feet, in which case you might find yourself lacking some footspace.
The Soup bowls is best with round lip wheels something with such a short wheelbase can feel a little more sluggish than intended when ridden with a square lip, and it also tends to get caught when riding bowls and such. Sector 9 has you covered either way though with their basic wheels coming in both a rounded and squared option.

Sector 9 Sandblaster
The Sandblaster longboard is a great new board from Sector 9's sidewinder series that has a drop through mounting for the easiest pushing available, and if you want a real challenge when freeriding, it's not necessarily recommend but it is however very possible and even quite fun, I would stick to the cruising and carving aspects though personally especially if you're new. If you need a quick and inexpensive way to get around town then look no further than the Sector 9 Sandblaster longboard.
Sector 9 Horizon Longboard
The Sector 9 Horizon is one of the boards out of Sector 9's new line that I really enjoy, their artwork lately has always seemed kind of dull and repetitive or like someone graffitied all over it. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing it's just nice to have a change of pace every now and then.
The Horizon longboard is the perfect Christmas gift and honestly if you don't know what to get for your college student sibling/offspring there's nothing better than an alternative mode of transportation that runs with 1 manpower. It's a great way to get around and is saving the environment one push at a time.

Lagoon Sidewinder longboard
The Lagoon Sidewinder longboard is perfect for all of those commuters out there that wanna have some fun along the way or just need a board that's a little bit longer that can still take a tight turn despite its wheelbase. With 7 plys of maple this baby has some integrity and is sure to last you to until your next semester.
The Lagoon longboard is best set up with Sector 9 wheels that have a rigid lip that can really grip the ground when taking those tight carves. This board of course was designed for the Gullwing sidewinders and should be equipped with such for optimum results. Toss on some of your favorite bearings and you have yourself quite a ride.

Sector 9 Hot Steppa Sidewinder
The Sector 9 Hot Steppa longboard is the perfect mix of carving and cruising in a longboard. The dual kingpin trucks allow some serious turning and sharp yet surprisingly smooth cuts when carving creating a feeling that as closely related to surfing as it gets.
I recommend this longboard of course with Gullwing Sidewinders and Sector 9 wheels, probably something in 70mm with a squared lip anything basic will do. And to get you out on the streets with a little extra weight in your wallet check out the BON abec 7 bearings they're as amazing as any abec 7 out there for half the price!

Sector 9 Rocker Longboard
The Sector 9 Rocker longboard is one fine piece of downhill excellence. With 7 layers of greatness, that greatness being 4 layers of fiberglass and 3 layers of maple this board can take to the hills and take the beating that is road vibration. The fiberglass layers have been implemented into most downhill boards nowadays since it's so lightweight and great at absorbing shock.
Sector 9 longboards pairs best with caliber trucks in a 44 degree if you use it solely for downhill riding, or the 50 degree if you decide you want to freeride or use it as a daily cruiser. I enjoy Abec 11's as an all around wheel but recently Otangs have made a pretty fun freeride wheel that fixed the chatters when freeriding. Throw on some abec 7's and you're good to roll out!
