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.
Pantheon Stylus TKP 149mm Trucks
The Pantheon Stylus TKP 149mm Truck was designed from the ground up to be a longboard truck. It’s not a “street truck” adapted for longboards. It is a longboard truck made for carving excellence, control, grip, and precision. Sure, you can stick this on a street deck and even get away with grinding some coping. But if you’re going to grind on curbs, you’ll sadly be carving into your kingpins in no time. That is because we focused these trucks on designing a perfect fit and performance for our longboards, with no compromises made to this number one goal.
Please note: DO NOT set this board up RKP-style longboard trucks.
Pantheon Karma 92mm Wheels
The Pantheon Karma wheels are the purest example of form following function in the realm of longboard distance wheels today. Nothing about this wheel is designed without intention. Nothing is stock; everything is bespoke. The entire wheel is cast upside down for the sake of pure performance. The core and tyre were both created simultaneously from scratch to maximize strength, grip, plushness, and speed while minimizing weight. The proprietary urethane blend works with the wheel and core shape to maximize grip to an extent that no other tall wheel has done

Zealous Built In Bearings
Zealous Bearings stands out as the industry's premier choice, renowned for its exceptional speed, durability, and innovative design. Featuring bearing shields on both sides, these bearings effectively block out dirt and debris, ensuring smooth and consistent performance. The secret lies in their unique lubricant, which utilizes a nanoceramic compound to fill in deformations within the bearings, reducing friction and heat buildup.
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.
