Sector 9 have long been synonomous with skateboarding and surf culture. Established by a group of friends 11 years ago in La Jolla, California, the Sector Nine team have taken a passion and made in into a brand with cult following.

Imagine sitting round the beach and the surf is totally flat, well these guys decided to find another way of getting their adrenaline fix. Refining existing skateboard shapes and messing about with different wheel configurations, eventually the Sector 9 Longboards dream was realised.

The longboard business has grown exponentially over the last few years and not overlooked by some of the main surfing brands. In fact Billabong acquired the brand not long ago – which isn’t a bad thing for a bunch of surfing mates who just simply wanted to have fun.

Sector 9 are famous for taking on customer feedback and building it into their products so you can be sure that you are getting a skateboard that has extensive R&D before it hits the shops.

Keen to ensure they keep up with their environmental responsibilities, Sector 9 now produce a range of boards that are extremely strong and resilient but made from 100% bamboo.

The longboard shapes from Sector 9 are designed to be extra responsive to the rider and are great for higher speed carving and taking control of tougher steeper terrain.

If you are close to Boscombe and Bournmouth and fancy trying a Sector 9 Longboard out why drop in the shop and give one a try.
