Introducing the Pantheon Supersonic LDP Longboard Deck. For those who already understand this type of LDP board, let’s just get a couple of key features out of the way that distinguishes this board from any other deck of this type made before. Firstly, it has been designed around the most classic and readily available RKP cast trucks available. The intention here is to offer a super high-functioning but cost-effective setup.

The Supersonic deck features a mild camber between the drops and incredibly tight curvature, considering the required curves necessary to make this geometry work. Pantheon has integrated very mild versions of crescent drops in all curvature points (even the down-curve of the de-wedged back end!) on this deck, making them stronger than boards of the past and allowing control where the board flexes. The concave is mellow, as it should be so that you’re comfortable no matter what distance you’re skating. But the curves are subtle and strong, and there are no true flat spots on the board anywhere, resulting in a superb board feel.

The Complete Setup:

The Design

For LDP riders looking to pump, a classic wedge front, de-wedge rear setup is a must. You want high high-degree turning in front and a nice low-degree solid back end to throw your weight off of and create power. For the Supersonic, the built-in angles provide a ton of riding options. Riders will have a blast dialling in this setup and even changing it around for different riding styles.

The front of the Supersonic mounts at a positive 15º. That means that a Bear or Paris 50º truck will run at 65º. A quite high starting place for sure, but a high-degree front with soft bushings will pump super easily. It will also result in a more front-weighted pump on your LDP longboard. This is ideal if the P stands for pushing AND pumping, especially. If you’re looking to dial it down a little, a truck in the 40-45º range will be a little more forgiving for all-out pushing speeds, while still netting a high angle of around 55-60º for efficient pumping.

The rear of the Supersonic is where even more options come into play. There are two mounting options. Mounting is available on the high, 40º angled wedge or on the far rear -17º angled tail. The -17 degree rear is obvious enough. We will typically use a lower-degree cast truck in this position—either a Paris 43º or a Bear 40º. The wedged 40º rear is designed for a FLIPPED rear truck, netting zero or near zero degrees in the back. The zero-degree rear option is incredibly stable for high-speed pushing. It is also effective for top-end speeds in pumping, although more effort will be required than when using the conventional -17º rear.

What Makes The Supersonic LDP Different?

For those who already understand this type of LDP board, let’s just get a couple key features out of the way that distinguish this board from any other deck of this type made before. Firstly, it has been designed around our most classic and readily available RKP cast trucks available. The intention here is to offer a super high functioning but cost effective setup.

The deck features a mild camber between the drops and incredibly tight curvature, considering the required curves necessary to make this geometry work. And we integrate very mild versions of our crescent drops in all curvature points (even the down-curve of the de-wedged back end!) on this deck, making them stronger than boards of the past and allowing us to control where the board flexes. Our concave is mellow, as it should be, so that you’re comfortable no matter what distance you’re skating. But the curves are subtle and strong, and there are no true flat spots on the board anywhere, resulting in superb board feel.

Flexs options explained

Supersonic 6 Ply

We believe the 6 ply option to be ideal for riders under 170lb (77kg).

If you’re on the high end of this, we recommend picking this board ONLY if you’re intending to ride primarily on the zero degree rear option, and you want it to flex. You will likely need to be around 150lbs (68kg) or under to use the far rear option.

Supersonic 7 Ply

Our 7 ply option will be ideal for middleweight riders, around 160-210lbs (72-95kg).

This deck is effective on both mounting positions for LDP longboard riders in the lower ranges of this weight range. Up to around 200lb (90kg) and beyond, riders should get this flex only with the zero degree rear mounting option. Keep in mind that riding style has a big component of flex. Riders that throw their body super hard into the board will flex the deck more. Less aggressive pumpers will likely be able to ride both mounting areas even if they’re above that 190-200lb (86-90kg) mark.

Supersonic XL 8 Ply

Our 8 ply XL is not only thicker and stiffer, but it is also a touch wider than the 6 and 7 ply options. Our max width on the XL is 9.5”, which is 0.3” wider than the more slender options. We are thinking about our XL riders, and often times, these riders have larger feet.

Bear VS Paris Trucks

The main advantage of the Bear Trucks is that they come in a 130mm option, providing a stable ride at higher speeds thanks to their insert bushing and tighter bushing seat. This makes them ideal for straight-on pushing. However, some riders might prefer the more open, free-flowing feel of Paris Trucks, especially for cruising or carving. Both options are great, and it really comes down to personal preference.

Bear Trucks tend to offer a bit more stability for intense pushing, while Paris Trucks make pumping feel more effortless. That’s the general takeaway, and we stand by it.

Of course, there are plenty of ways to tweak stability by adjusting bushings and washers. You can easily fine-tune your setup depending on your riding style. Both truck options have a lot of overlap, especially when you start playing around with different setups.

When paired with Karma wheels, both truck choices will be slightly narrower than the deck. However, if you're riding a wider 9.5" Supersonic XL and plan on hitting hills or doing slides, a 150-155mm truck might feel more comfortable. That being said, running slimmer 130mm trucks is perfectly fine for long-distance pushing (LDP) and cruising. There's no wrong answer—just what works best for your ride.

The Pantheon Supersonic is available with 3 different truck options. The deck has been designed specifically with Bear Trucks or Paris Trucks in mind. You can certainly use whatever setup you want to your liking. Setting up outside of the recommended setups may require risers or angled risers. This will depend on your truck choice and the angles of your baseplate. You’ll want to consider your wheel choice in correspondence with your trucks to keep your setup from getting bite.

The stock setups with 50 degree fronts are your safest choice. With the 50 degree front (Paris or Bear), you should be able to run bite free up to 90mm wheels. This is as long as you have a stock cupped washer in the board-side position of your bushings. Once you start bringing down that front degree, wheelbite can start coming into play for the larger wheel option. This can be easily mitigated with risers and/or bushing and washer modifications.

We recommend 50 degree front trucks for most riders using the Supersonic LDP longboard for long distance riding and pumping. This will push the pump power toward the front of the board and make pumping more effortless.

For riders looking to max our their top speed, dropping the front angle may be considered. This can be combined with zeroing out the rear truck angle. Ultimately, between riding a 50 front or a 43/40 front for maximum pumping speed will come down to riding style. It is worth noting that a the lower degree front does feel a little more stable when pushing absolute maximum speed. Riders just looking to leisurely cover large distances will appreciate the efficiency of the higher degree front end.

Versatility
Supersonic XL

Equally, the 8 ply version is also an ideal deck for our middleweight riders doing up/down events. LDP longboarding doesn’t always have to be on flats! If you’re trying to mitigate flex for confidence at speed, the extra stiffness and width will add confidence. It’s also great for more technical rides! While this is not a speed stiff board for true downhill, it is stiff enough to manage most scenarios one could encounter on a distance ride. And it still offers a subtle flex for riders over 170 lbs so that distance feels comfortable.

Riders on the lower end of our weight range may notice a touch of camber underfoot. The camber may not completely flatten out if you’re pushing in the middle of the deck. However, it’s not so much that it is uncomfortable for these types of rides. If you’re a rider that really doesn’t like camber, we would recommend making sure that you’re on the upper end of the weight range. Most LDP longboard riders will likely find the deck quite comfortable regardless.

For LDP riding, we expect the 8 ply to be ideal for riders over 190 lbs. The 8 ply should be good up to around 250 pounds in both mounting positions. We cannot say with 100% certainty where this deck maxes out. In the zero mount position, it can certainly handle much more weight than in the -17 rear position. Above 250 lbs, we would suggest keeping this deck in the zero degree mounting position.

The deck has been tested up to 285 lbs in the far rear mount, but whether or not that works for you will largely be dependent on your riding style.
