Meticulously Designed Commuter Longboard
Riders worldwide consistently tell Pantheon that the Pranayama is the most used board in their quiver. This specifically designed commuter longboard is truly utilitarian, with no extra frills and no wasted space. It's perfect for getting to your destination and having fun along the way! The Pranayama features an extremely low ride height, lightweight design, comfortable flex, slim profile, and perfectly fitted components, making it superior to all other competing commuter longboards in terms of ease of use and fit. Pantheon meticulously designed the board to fit these specific parts, even creating the wheels from scratch. When combined with large 80-90mm wheels, the Pranayama can roll over just about anything in its path.
Equipped with Paris 149mm trucks, the Pranayama has a slim profile that allows riders to keep their push foot closer to their balance foot and center of gravity, resulting in greater balance and power. The lowest of Pantheon's low standing platforms allows for easier pushing and effortless foot braking. Both beginners and experts will benefit from the increased efficiency, enabling riders to travel further on a longboard than they ever thought possible.
BUILT FOR STREET TRUCKS
Please note: DO NOT set this board up RKP-style longboard trucks.
The Pranayama is built for street trucks only, and putting the wrong setup on this board will cause wheel bite. If you’re going to put this together yourself, be sure you pay attention to our recommended setup options here and set it up very similarly, and you’re assured to have a uniquely awesome riding experience.
Recommended Setup:
Paris Street trucks
The Paris Trucks Co Street skateboard Truck are made to skate and will take your street, hybrid or mini-cruiser skateboards to new levels! Ideal for any board, these Paris Street Trucks are made to be ridden on the smallest mini-cruisers to the largest double kick boards alike. With a taller profile than standard conventional trucks, you will have more clearance and less wheel bite.
Please note: DO NOT set this board up RKP-style longboard trucks.
Orangatang Caguama Wheels
The hatching of the Orangantang 85mm Caguama longboard wheel took many years - testing and retesting to find the best urethane compound for commuting, carving and long-distance skating. Orangatang decided that their proprietary 'Happy Thane' formula was perfect to pair with a larger, more supportive core. The wheels have the same deep 'valley' shape cross section as the popular Orangatang Kegel wheels to keep weight to a minimum. Softer, rounded wheel edges help the Caguama wheels to pass smoothly over the pavement cracks and to set the wheels ahead of the competition.

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.
Construction
Pantheon constructs these boards with a reliable 6-ply maple core. Beyond the maple core, the deck is wrapped in triaxial fiberglass, which enhances the board's strength and weather resistance. While not waterproof, the Pranayama is designed to handle the elements throughout the season. To further protect the board, Pantheon wraps it in a slim hardwood veneer, which helps prevent the fiberglass strands from breaking. This construction adds longevity to the commuter longboard and provides peace of mind when scraping the board on curbs and bumps.
Although not indestructible, the Pranayama is built like a tank. Riders can expect a comfortable ride, from small children to adults weighing up to 240 lbs. For those heavier than 240 lbs, Pantheon recommends considering their Quest and Nexus decks, which offer even tougher and larger commuter boards.
