Pantheon Banantheon Longboard Deck - 36.75″

Pantheon Banantheon – Doublekick Longboard (Deck Only)

The Pantheon Banantheon is a big doublekick built for the pure joy of skating. No agenda, no pressure, no wrong answer. Take it to a hill, take it to the neighbourhood, take it to a bowl. Or just skate around your parking lot popping tricks until you’re tired. This is a 36.75″ double kick with real pop, real strength, and a construction that punches well above its price point. Ride it hard. Beat it up. Get another one. Or cruise it around the neighbourhood, and it will last forever

Who is the Banantheon for?

This is the board for someone who just wants to skate. Not train, not optimise, not specialise — just go outside and have fun. If you’ve been riding longboards and want something you can actually pop tricks on without buying a whole new setup, this is it. If you’re a skateboarder who wants something bigger and more comfortable to cruise on without giving up the ability to ollie, this is it too. It’s a great first board for someone who doesn’t know exactly what kind of skating they want to do yet, and an equally great addition to the quiver of someone who knows exactly what they want: more fun. I can speak to that last one for myself.

We’ve had doublekick longboards in the past with the evolution of the Logos deck. This is an extension of that evolution. I missed a good doublekick.

Pantheon Banantheon Deck Specs:

The Banantheon is our take on a board that does everything without demanding anything. It’s a big ol’ doublekick longboard. It’s big enough to feel planted and confident, short enough to be genuinely trickable. The wheelbase sits at 19″, which gives you a stable, predictable platform that still responds when you ask it to.

The concave is radial, with a crescent-shaped micro drop just inside the truck bolts. It’s subtle — you won’t feel it until you need it — but it tells your feet exactly where they are and gives you a little extra lock-in when you’re set up to slide it sideways.

Construction is 6 plies of Canadian maple with two layers of triaxial fibreglass sandwiched under the top and bottom wood veneers. You get the natural snap and feel of maple, reinforced with glass that isn’t exposed at the edges — so as the board gets beat up over time, you’re not picking fibres out of your hands. This thing is strong.

Building Your Banantheon Doublekick

The Banantheon is flexible enough that there’s no single right answer here. Below are three ways to set it up depending on what you want out of it.

The Effortless Ollie Setup

This is how Jeff usually rides his. Pantheon 149mm Stylus trucks stiffened up, 66mm Sliders flat on the board, no riser. The lower ride height gives you earlier pop — ollies feel almost automatic. This is the setup if you want to skate it like a big street board and keep things snappy and low.

The Carvy Cruiser Setup

Add a double wedge riser to your Stylus trucks and soften them up a touch. You get dramatically more truck articulation, snappier and more responsive turns, and the board starts to feel more like a big cruiser you can still pop tricks on. Great for neighbourhood skating and longer sessions where you’re not necessarily trying to ollie everything. (Grab the double wedge riser below when you build your complete.)

The RKP Setup

Throw on a set of 150mm RKP trucks — we’ve ridden 40° Valkyrie prototypes on this, and it absolutely rips. RKPs run taller so you naturally get more clearance, and the turn is snappier and more carve-forward. The wheel wells are designed with TKP geometry in mind, but the tighter wheelbase means you’re not going to have clearance issues either way.

There’s no wrong setup here. That’s kind of the whole point. Wrongboarding at its finest.
