FUNCTIONAL DESIGN
The Trip’s outline shape is cut to maximize usable surface area and minimize the chance of wheel bite. A slightly tapered waist complements the camber profile for a subtle suspension effect. The open-ended nose and tail provide flexural relief, protection against impact damage, and ease of assembly. Neutral truck mounting angles simplify setup while offering a versatile starting point for customization.
CURVACEOUS CONFIDENCE
Pantheon’s highly functional crescent drop lowers the centre of gravity and stiffens the drops for efficient pushing while also providing enhanced lateral support and general ergonomics. The drop also allows for effortless slide initiation to control speed in common settings like hilly urban environments or paths and trails. The moustache rocker profile combines subtle camber at the deck’s midpoint with rocker under the feet. The localized camber pairs with the slightly tapered waist to provide suspension characteristics while allowing the rest of the board to remain stiff for optimum control. Mellow radial concave provides an ideal balance of edge control and riding comfort. The junctions between concave and crescent drop create three-dimensional pockets for secure and intuitive ergonomics.
The Setup
Paris V3 Trucks
Paris V3 longboard trucks are designed for maximum versatility and precision. These trucks feature upgraded geometry for enhanced turn and stability, CNC-precision machined hangers for consistent performance, and high-grade aluminum construction for durability. With their 50° baseplate angle, Paris V3 trucks offer responsive carving and pumping ideal for freeride, downhill, and cruising styles. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced rider, Paris V3 trucks deliver smooth turns, reduced wheel bite, and improved overall ride quality, making them a top choice for longboard enthusiasts seeking to upgrade their setup.
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.
SNAPPY, LIGHT, & LOW
The Trip is a low-riding steeze machine that is efficient and effective for all of your commuting and distance riding needs. A 6-ply maple core is sandwiched between layers of triaxial fibreglass with a protective wood veneer on the bottom so that you don’t scratch that structural composite layer on curbs. This layup results in a thin, stiff, and lightweight structure with snappy, responsive flex characteristics. Combine with large, soft wheels, and you’ve got an absolute cruising machine that will suck up road vibrations and keep you going all day long.
GRAPHICS
Designed by Eddie Kihm (who has worked on many of Pantheon’s board graphics) in collaboration with Pantheon’s founder, Jeff. The graphic depicts a being surrounded by a field of sunflowers over the top of the being’s head. To the being, it likely hardly sees anything but a thicket of stems. But the being’s oversoul, which is connected to the overarching reality, has a grander view of a field and sunset, capturing the true beauty of the being’s reality. Oftentimes, we are stuck in our respective struggles, caught in each moment. The reality of the beauty of life in all its forms—birth, death, and all ups and downs in between—escapes us in these moments of individual struggle. This graphic is to remind us that it’s all part of a bigger picture.
