Landyachtz Drop Cat Longboard
Let us introduce you to the Landyachtz Drop Cat. This longboard isn't new to the scene but we think it deserves its own spotlight. Available in a selection of designs and 2 sizes, this longboard is perfect for freeriding, learning how to slide, carving and downhill. In this blog we will cover everything you need to know as well as why we are big fans of this longboard.
The Construction
The Landyachtz Drop Cat longboard complete features a strong Canadian maple construction that strikes the perfect balance between stability and flex. This thoughtful design ensures you get a smooth and controlled ride, whether you’re carving, sliding, or cruising downhill.
An aggressive rocker brings you closer to the ground and changes the angle of the trucks, which increases the responsiveness of the longboard. The lowered platform makes this board extra fast for pushing and large commutes, while simultaneously increasing stability.
The Landyachtz Drop Cat is a drop through longboard. This gives you stability without sacrificing any manoeuvrability. The drop through longboard deck is lower to the ground making it great for long distance pushing.
The Drop Cat longboard is available in 2 lengths, 33" and 38". So let's get into
Landyachtz Drop Cat 33"
If you like a tight stance, this one's for you. Due to its smaller size this longboard is agile, allowing you to make those tight runs and ride narrow pathways. The Drop Cat 33" is the smallest drop through longboard in Landyachtz lineup!
Specifications:
- Length: 33"
- Width: 9.625"
- Wheelbase: 23.9"
With a bigger standing platform, this longboard is perfect for taller riders looking for a more stable, yet responsive feel. The Landyachtz Drop Cat 38" is really predictable, the medium flex allows you to sink into deep carves but is still stiff enough, even with the long wheelbase, that you get good stability at high speed.
You have plenty of room to move your feet about on this board allowing you to get locked in and comfortable when freeriding, learning how to slide, carving, downhill riding and taking different lines through the corners.
Specifications:
- Length: 38"
- Width: 9.9"
- Wheelbase: 29.3"
