GRAPHICS
Tomás Güereña (a.k.a. “screw”) is influenced by Robert Delaunay, cosmological geometry, Native American art, contemporary urban art, and the marine environment. He created the Willy and Moby Ballona graphics, respectively, through abstract and figurative approaches.
CLASSIC LAYUP WITH A TWIST
Custom 7-ply maple construction with thicker cross veneers for optimal stiffness, crisp pop, and a smooth ride.
Paris V2 Trucks
The Paris V2 trucks are renowned for their superior performance and durability, making them a top choice for longboard enthusiasts. These high-quality trucks feature a 50-degree baseplate, offering an ideal balance of stability and maneuverability for both cruising and carving. The open bushing seat provides a smooth, fluid turn, while the grade 8 steel axles ensure robust support. Additionally, the Paris V2 trucks are designed with an elegant, sleek finish that complements any longboard setup
Orangatang Love Handles
The Orangatang Love Handles Longboard Wheels are quick and light, plush and grippy. A traction-focused design in a compact package for agility, acceleration, and control. With a wheel this pumpable, you’ll never do crunches again.
HARDWARE
LOADED JEHU V2 BEARINGS
The new Loaded Jehu V2 Bearings (version 2 of Loaded's original Jehu bearings) feature extended inner raceways to eliminate the need for separate spacers and speed rings. Crank them all the way down and keep your setup tight.
LOADED FLANGE BOLTS
Made from extremely strong steel (significantly stronger than Grade 8), these flange head bolts integrate the washer into the bolt itself in order to reduce the height of the bolt heads while still distributing load pressure. The hex socket is also slightly recessed beneath the surface of the bolt for extra durability.
CURVACEOUS CONFIDENCE
Subtle rocker in the standing platform transitions into the unique “Whale Belly” spoon concave in the nose, which locks in the front foot and allows for a secure stance behind or on top of the truck. This also wedges the front truck for dramatically enhanced agility, resulting in a slalom-style steering bias that allows the more stable rear end to track the more nimble front end. The Ballona’s mild concave and generous width ensure a comfortable stance and plenty of leverage and control. A short, wide tail and minimal nose provide optimal maneuverability and leverage for slides and tricks in a compact package.
VERSATILE VARIATIONS
The Ballona includes two wheelbase options for a range of performance characteristics. The outer (16”) wheelbase is designed for reverse-kingpin trucks and/or more stability, while the inner (14.75”) wheelbase is intended for traditional-kingpin (street) trucks and/or more maneuverability. The two deck graphics are offered in uniquely curated complete setups; choose Moby to slash every driveway in sight or Willy for a premium carving and pumping machine.
