I got my pedals swapped out on a drop-in basis. The service personnel agreed to do it on the spot and I waited in the outdoor picnic area for all of five minutes. Pros: - chill vibe (zero pretension) - reasonable price $14 for swap out - covid safety measures of plexi-barriers, reinforcing social distancing and providing hand sanitizer Notes: - best to call beforehand to check for booking appointments for larger projects/servicing

I really like their designs but they screw you on the Support side. I bought a $300 longboard and it was in the first week the layers of Maple de laminated and curled up. I was far from home so I had to trim it to safely write it back and they refuse to warranty it because I trimmed it even though you could still see the crappy quality and layers of maple separating. Then they double down by saying it was my fault that it started to delaminate even though it started the laminate before I trimmed anything. Honestly any business is only as good as it support so unfortunately even though they do have some killer designs they're a pretty crappy company Update!! They totally reached out to me in adopt taking care of me. I really don't care if we take the long way as long as we get there. Thank you Jacob with Landyachtz!

I needed a commuter so I decided to shop local. I ended up buying the CB2 MkII. I love it! It's fun to ride, feels like I can hop curbs without worry, is lighter than expected and looks slick too (lots of compliments from others). They're super attentive (not easy to find during the pandemic bike craze) and knowledgeable. They're also extremely organized so if anyone different helps you, they'd know exactly where you'd left off. They're on top of it. They just have their s*** together! It also took them 2 days to build my bike instead of the estimated 3 weeks. I had no idea how many accessories they had, and their selection is superb, nice and stylish but not overly pricey. I left with $300 of accessories and a new, fun bike. Pandemic bike shopping made easy. Thanks for making it painless!

Wow! I'm so blown away by the amazing people down at the Landyachtz factory store. I came in hoping to find my dream bike and I found so much more! They were so patient in helping me build my single speed. Emanuel and Blake especially put in a lot of time with me and made sure I was completely happy before I left. They also gave me sick deal on my bike. I was actually blown away when they called me and gave me the total amount for the whole build. They are so knowledgeable and willing to help it was very refreshing. I am so stoked to have my dream bike built and I will be recommending them to all my friends and family. Go here everybody! The quality of the bikes are amazing as well.

My single speed.

Landyachtz may wish to amend their name to reflect the newest addition, the (was a pop-up, now permanent) arcade room. What's (a few more letters) in a name? Landyachtz Factory Store & Bicycle Repair & Arcade...whew! The hubs and I were ambling down Union St (bike friendly) when I saw a sign reading 'arcade' in the distance. One enters Landyachtz proper in order to access the arcade room. It's a cozy yet spacious spot. Natural light coming through a set of glass doors brightens up the arcade just enough, but too much. There's a modest selection of early 80s cabinet games including Ms. Pac-Man (extra man at 20k, if I remember rightly), Centipede (sticky track ball--no bueno), and Donkey Kong. The broader pin selection includes Ripley's (good game play), The Wiz of Oz (super good game-play), Cyclone, Addam's Family & Taxi. There's one mame cocktail game for your varied gaming pleasure. I forgot how to navigate through the game selection and wound up playing Tetris, much to my chagrin. Pinball: Toonie--3 plays (championship setting), Loonie--one play Video games: 50¢/play Back in the main shop one can find trucks, sharp-looking decks & wheels. There's a skate ramp (& washroom) in the back room. The bike repair shop is just off the ramp space. The young dudes working at the shop are personable & helpful.

Hipster bike and skateboard shop in a hipster part of town, right along a major bike path. If this doesn't feel good, I don't know what does. Parking is available on the street. Ironically, the bike rack in front of the store is quite tiny. A few more spaces might help. The inside is definitely hipster. Friendly staff, funky art on the walls, and plenty of gear to check out. Reminds me of the old school ski rental lodges, but with bikes and skateboards instead. Awesome. In the back there's also a half pipe for those inclined to do some tricks. The roof seems a bit low for this, but what do I know. I took a quick look at their repair services, and the prices are actually lower than I was expecting. Will definitely be back to take advantage of this. The main reason why my buddy and I were here though was the vintage arcade, tucked away in the back area. This alone is worth a special mention. 10 or so pinball machines, as well as a nice selection of coin-op arcade machines. Pac Man, Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat. Need I say more?

I find the staff to be super-friendly and knowledgeable about bikes. I took my bike in while I was out of town and they emailed me with a quote and had my bike all ready to go when I returned. When they assessed the bike, they told me what needed replacing and what could be left alone and I really appreciated their honesty. They will be my go-to shop.

I'm not a skateboarder but this place also repairs bikes and has a vintage pop-up arcade and some sort of backyard patio space. The fact this is on the Adanac bike path pleases me to no end,.. it is like the real life of our city is springing up off the main drags and this is both a place to have fun, shop, and relax,.. I'm in full support of that.

If you took everything rad about Strathcona and cold pressed it into an organic hipster juice you would get Landyachts! I attended the launch for Do604 and was super impressed at how it accommodated a big event. The half pipe played host to a DJ and Band with dancing in the middle, the arcade was full and they had two bars set up. They had a food truck outside which helped with the flow and people seemed happy to walk out and grab a bite. Totally worth a visit if you are riding your bike along Union.

Three weeks ago I took my bike in for a tune up. Their posted price was lower than any other price I have seen. I expected a bunch of add ons to inflate the cost but only one suggestion: a chain that doesn't rust (something that I have never been offered before but readily accepted). The final price was exactly what was posted and the work was exceptional. But the story doesn't end there: about a week after my first visit my bike was stripped of all parts not locked while I was in a meeting downtown. I took what was left of my bike to Landyachtz almost in tears on a Friday and by Tuesday they had rebuilt my bike better than it was and for a extremely reasonable price. The staff are very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and display a level of empathy and compassion that is rarely scene in the service sector. Landyachtz is my new bike shop. Thanks guys for a great job!

• Landyachtz Bikes

Kind of neat.

• Story: Sara Harowitz

When Mike Perreten and Tom Edstrand first started their handmade longboard company Landyachtz  while studying at the University of Victoria two decades ago, they thought they might one day expand their venture to include bikes. They just didn’t realize how far away that day would be.

“When we first started making boards, we were like, ‘What if we want to make bikes in a year or two?’’ laughs Edstrand. “When you’re 20 years old, that seems like so far away. Here we are 20 years later, and we’re just starting.” Though it took them longer than they anticipated, the childhood friends from West Vancouver understand the importance of getting something done right, no matter the time it takes.

The 1146 Landyachtz Bikes model is made entirely by hand in the brand’s East Vancouver  studio. Named in ode to the shop’s Union Street address, the 1146 uses Columbus steel tubing that results in a quick and slick ride. It is sleek but not showy, the cycling equivalent of a classic white tee.

“For us it’s important to build stuff here in Vancouver,” Perreten says. “It’s almost—it might sound cheesy—but it’s almost like you’re riding a piece of art. It’s kind of neat: it was made here, it was made specifically for this purpose.” Now to pedal off into the Vancouver sunset.

A deceitful company who's only intent is to try to get money out of you. I had heard about the quality of landyachtz boards from a friend of mine and being a beginner to the sport of skateboarding I followed his more expierenced brain and was led to the landyachtz website. A website that sells skate decks with adjoining full complete pictures on the page, leading customers to believe that they are purchasing a full board with trucks and wheels. Landyachtz, if you're not giving the option to buy a complete board then the 5/6 pictures that accompany the "deck" shouldn't contain trucks and wheels. This happened to me but as annoying as this is, it doesn't come close to the terrible experience I had with their after sales care team. Upon realising that the trucks and wheels were not included as pictured, I proceeded to call their sales team. I spoke with Kaylene who apoligised profously and told me that this was a mistake on their end and that she would promptly send me out trucks and wheels, I just had to email her my address. I got off the phone delighted with their response, a response that was warranted. However as the days rolled by with no response to my email, and nothing in the mail, I began to grow increasingly skeptical. My worries were realised when over a week later I had a response from Kaylene who, rather nonchalantly, informed me that my email ended up in her spam folder and that I would NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TRUCKS AND WHEELS. I was shocked at the sheer disregard and tone in the email and proceeded to call back. This time I spoke with Cam who informed me that Kaylene was on her lunch break. Cam said he couldn't help me as their system was down and this wasn't his department.... shocker. I asked Cam to get Kaylene to give me a call either a) that evening when she was back or b) the next day as I was off work that day. Low and behold two days goes by and no call, again.... shocker. I took matters into my own hands now and rang them back stating that I was extremely upset at the way I had been treated. Kaylene now was far less receptive, blunt and just wanted to get me off the phone as quick as possible. I have worked in sales and marketing for a number of years and have never, ever seen anything like this. Deceptive webpages, after sales employees who lie, and an impression that they don't care about a person once their pockets are lined. Sheer and complete disregard for customers. Truly a horrific customer experience. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. And if you do, make sure you don't need any sort of after sales care because if you do you'll be simultaneously jumping through hoops for them, while they proceed to pull the wool over your eyes.

After receiving the absolute worst customer service in years from another skate shop, I was pleasantly surprised to get the best customer in years at Landyactz. Unlike his counterpart at a competitor's shop, the clerk at Landyactz appeared to be well socialized, and didn't pre-judge me based on my appearance (and yes, I did bathe that day- or was it last year...) He welcomed me into the store, and proceeded to offer excellent advice,on selecting a longboard, as well as answer any questions regarding the longboards. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional. He took the time to ask me questions on my skating experience, the type of riding I would be doing, etc., to help find an appropriate board. For those unfamiliar with the company, Landyactz is a very well respected longboard manufacturer, based in Vancouver. They have a small retail store beside their factory, and are located in East Vancouver. The store had a wide array of longboards as well as skate components. A great place to find a quality longboard, with the added bonus of not having a socially stunted, mental-defective working as a clerk.

Landyachtz AB-ST Review: Adventure Revisited

The new Landyachtz AB-ST is a Chromoly steel gravel bike with clearance for 29 x 2.2″ tires, a carbon fork, lots of mounting options for hauling gear, and a stable geometry suited to getting lost. We’ve been testing one out for a few weeks before its release, and you can find Miles’ review here…

Action shots by Nathan Reimer ( @____nathan____ )

Two years ago, Landyachtz released the AB1 (Adventure Bike 1), positioned as a versatile and capable drop-bar rig with a mid-range price tag at around $2,700 CAD (~$2,100 USD), complete with reasonable tire clearance, a carbon fork, lots of mounts, and a lightweight aluminum frame. Landyachtz described it as a “do everything gravel bike,” and although this might be true for some, I felt it was missing a handful of the adventure-ready qualities that the name so boldly promised. A few months back, I was looped in on a new model that they described as being “longer, slacker, and more upright than the AB1″ with a steel frame, carbon fork, and clearance for 2.2” tires. I couldn’t help but think, now that’s an adventure bike!

The Landyachtz AB-ST is a completely new bike for the Vancouver, BC-based bicycle company. In my eyes, it picks up where the AB1 and AB-AL left off. It’s built up around a 4130 LY Select Chromoly steel frame with internal cable routing, their new Carbon Adventure Fork with an adjustable flip-chip style dropout, thru-axles, big tire clearance, and lots of mounting points for racks, cages, and fenders. Instead of simply creating a steel AB1, Landyachtz created an entirely new bike. As mentioned above, it’s longer, slacker, and much higher in the front end when compared to the AB1 or AB-AL. Where the AB1 felt like a road biker’s gravel bike, the AB-ST takes cues from rowdier, dare I say more adventurous riding. While some folks might roll their eyes at a gravel bike with 2.2″ tires, I’m brimming with excitement. To coincide with last week’s launch, Landyachtz sent over a complete AB-ST build for me to test out. Find my thoughts on it below.

Landyachtz AB-ST at a Glance

The AB-ST is the second steel drop-bar gravel bike in the brand’s current lineup. Compared to the others, its angles lean far further toward off-road capability. It has a longer wheelbase, lower bottom bracket, head tube angle that is a full 2° slacker, and more stack. On paper, the result is the most stable, capable, and mountain bike-inspired gravel rig Landyachtz offers. It’s also the only gravel bike in their lineup with internal dropper post routing, top tube bosses, and a proper selection of cargo mounts, including under the downtube. Framesets are specced with the new Landyachtz Carbon Adventure fork, which has three-pack mounts, a threaded fork crown mount, internal brake routing, and a flip-chip-style dropout to allow rake adjustment from 47mm to 52mm, giving the option of fast handling or a more stable ride for loaded bikepacking.

• Frame/fork: Steel/Carbon
• Angles (L): 70° Headtube, 74° Seattube
• Stack/Reach: 626mm/455mm
• BB Drop/Chainstay: 72mm/430mm
• Bottom Bracket: 68mm threaded
• Hub specs: 12x100mm / 12x142mm, TA
• Seatpost: 30.9mmm
• Max tire size: 29 x 2.2″

Perhaps the biggest difference between the AB-ST and the other models is its tire clearance. The AB-ST can officially handle 29 x 2.2″ tires, including fast-rolling cross-country tread, and can unofficially fit 2.25″ tires according to the build Landyachtz sent me for review. The 29 x 2.25″ WTB Nine Lines fit pretty well in the rear end of the bike, but the vertical clearance on the fork is uncomfortably tight. I think 2.2″ or even 50mm tires are probably the better option to leave some room for mud and debris, but I did ask Lucas at Landyachtz for the biggest tires they had, so that’s on me. It’s no surprise to see thru-axles front and back (12×100mm and 12×142mm), a threaded bottom bracket, and fully internal cable routing. There is only one small section of exposed cable along the bottom of the drive side chainstay leading to the derailleur and on the rear brake hose that runs on top of the chainstay.

The AB-ST shares several geometry and frame spec-related similarities with the new Surly Ghost Grappler, Kona Sutra LTD and ULTD, Breezer Radar X, and many more. It has the long reach like the Ghost Grappler, inspired by modern mountain bike geometry, not quite as high of a stack height, and reasonably short 430mm chainstays. While the big tire clearance technically fulfills our requirements as a 29″ drop-bar mountain bike , it’s still not quite as upright as bikes like the Salsa Fargo or Ghost Grappler.

Landyachtz’s AB-ST manages to pull some of the best specs from other bikes that fall into this category, including short chainstays, big tire clearance, a slightly taller stack height, long reach, slack front end, and steep seat tube angle. On paper, the AB-ST hits a sweet spot for me. It’s capable and stable but still sporty enough to keep up with speedy gravel bikes with smaller tires. It has the potential to be dressed down with narrow bars, fast-rolling rubber, and the fork in the high-trail position, or dressed up with 2.2″ tires, a dropper post, wide bars, and a more upright riding position. Landyachtz put together a complete build that’s more in line with the latter vision, which is the approach I’d take if I were building one up myself. Either way, any type of build will likely look great against the AB-ST’s classic silhouette and dark blue tubing.

Build Kit & First Impressions

This time around, I opted for an XL frame in an effort to get as much height as possible out of the front end. At 6’1″ with a 33″ inseam, I’m usually somewhere right in between a large and extra-large, so I decided to give the bigger frame a shot with the AB-ST. Landyachtz put together a fun build for me, complete with 2.25″ WTB Nine Line tires, flared Salsa drop bars, and a SRAM Rival 1×11 drivetrain and hydraulic brakes. The steerer tube came pre-cut from Landyachtz, and while I would have preferred some more room to raise the stem slightly, the fit felt good. I’m currently dealing with some neck issues, so the last thing I wanted was to be hunched over on a racy gravel bike. Thankfully, the AB-ST isn’t that. The 11-42T cassette was paired with a 42T front chainring, which didn’t leave me walking up any hills around Powell River but did see me standing out of the saddle and grinding up steeper grades. Mind you, that was without a fully loaded bikepacking setup, so if I was heading out on a trip next week, I’d be looking for a smaller chainring or a way to expand the low end.

The build kit Landyachtz put together is pretty close to how I’d build up my own. I like my gravel bikes to do more than just smooth roads, and the big tires, mounting points, and steel frame are all good indicators that it’s a pretty capable bike. I was secretly hoping they were going to sneak the integrated dropper lever into the left shifter/brake lever, but no dice. Lever actuated dropper posts on drop-bar bikes are great for dismounting, stopping at lights, and especially descending steep, rough trails and roads. The only reason I would possibly size down would be to squeeze in a slightly longer travel dropper post for getting rad.

I was happy to see rear rack mounts on the outside of the seat stays, as well mounts for bolt-on bags and a generously sized main triangle. The XL frame I tested had plenty of room for a large BXB Better Half Frame Bag and a big bottle on the seat tube, and it also fit a large Rockgeist 52Hz gravel frame bag nearly perfectly. The low seat tube mounts and triple-pack downtube mounts also make for a good platform to run a standard half frame bag to maximize the space. Those needing extra space for gear or water will be happy to see mounts on the new carbon Adventure Fork, which aren’t offset like on the original AB1 fork, making it compatible with more front racks, bottle and cargo cages, or all of the above. I was glad to be able to run my Rawland Rando rack alongside a standard bottle cage. It’s worth noting that the threaded bosses on the fork legs are recessed a few millimetres into the fork, so I opted to use a small spacer for a cleaner setup.

Ride Feel and Handling

While I haven’t had the AB-ST long enough to classify this is a long-term review, I still managed to pack in a good amount of riding. After a wet spring, the Pacific Northwest finally had some clear weather, and I took every opportunity I had to get a feel for the bike. I’ve been out on some big gravel days, navigated local singletrack, and zipped all over town to avoid filling my van up on gas.

One of the first things I did was replace the included 120mm stem for a 70mm Farr Headspace stem , which helped dial back the frame’s long reach. While I think I could still go shorter, and raise the bars up a smidge, the bike was comfortable and balanced feeling on all of my rides. On everything but a few steep descents, I felt planted and confident on the bike. With the help of its big tires, steel frame, and long geometry, the AB-ST plows effortlessly through pretty much anything. I found it to feel much more comfortable and stable than the AB1 I tested last year. With that said, the longer/slacker geometry on the AB-ST certainly isn’t as playful or snappy feeling as other gravel bikes I’ve ridden (the AB1 included), so anyone coming from a road background might find it a little sluggish at times. With the fork’s flip-chip in the high trail/more slack position, it felt most at home pointed straight, leaned into corners, and making wide, methodical turns.

It’s a long bike, so it took some getting used to while winding through narrow, technical trails. Beyond that, it’s hard to imagine what the AB-ST can’t handle. Having spent time with it, I’d be speccing mine with a dropper post and taller front end for a true drop-bar mountain bike setup. I expect most people would increase the gear range as well since it’s certainly not a featherweight bike and it felt most natural climbing in a seated position, rather than standing up out of the saddle. Although my post-Covid fitness isn’t quite up to speed yet, I’ve snuck in a few longer rides where my legs were the only thing holding me back. It doesn’t have the same powerful, responsive feel as the AB1, but if you’re looking to ride far and aren’t too concerned with speed, it could be the bike for you.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have the necessary front brake adapter to experiment with the high trail, 47mm rake setting on the fork. I did pull out the dropouts, which consist of an outside/inside bracket on both sides, held in place with small 2.5mm hex screw. The brackets are sandwiched on either side of the dropout, and when flipped the other way, they change the rake and wheelbase by 5mm. While it doesn’t seem like much, 5mm can have a noticeable impact on handling and feel. With quicker handling in the 52mm position and stability in the 47mm position, it’s nice to have options. The AB-ST fork is set up in the 47mm position with an adapter, and you just need to remove the adapter and mount the caliper directly to the fork for the 52mm position.

Adventure Bike: Take Two

When Landyachtz released the AB1 (Adventure Bike 1) they labeled it as their “do-everything” bike, ideal for your “daily commute, exploring your local trails, or a fully loaded bikepacking expedition.” While most of that held true, I felt the geometry was more road-oriented than what’s found on most off-road-focused drop-bar bikes. It’s not quite a monstercross bike, definitely not a drop-bar mountain bike, and for someone who likes the versatility afforded by big tires and the option for a dropper post, it wasn’t really adventurous enough for me.

In a lot of ways, the AB-ST is what the AB1 should have been. When thinking about all of the gravel routes within close proximity of Vancouver, where Landyachtz is based, the original Adventure Bike felt underwhelming. Routes like the BC Trail, Cowichan Valley 8, the newly published Tree to Sea Loop on Vancouver Island, and those here in Powell River and Texada Island are much more enjoyable to ride with bigger tires and a slightly more upright position. The AB-ST is the perfect platform for long-distance gravel tours in British Columbia and beyond, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see some folks who originally purchased the AB1 turning to its more capable younger sibling as their next bike.

Purchasing Options and Additional Thoughts

I ran a few questions by Landyachtz’s marketing and media guy Lucas Greenough to help clarify some things I’d been wondering while working on this review. Firstly, their ADV Fork currently comes with a 350mm steerer tube that can be cut to any desired length. Since each AB-ST is going to be built from the frame up, they have no problem accommodating requests like that, and will work one-on-one with the customer to dial in the fit and function of each build. Lucas also mentioned an updated ADV Fork is on the way, which will have an even longer 400mm steerer tube. The exposed rear derailleur cable was apparently chosen to reduce drag in the system, but considering it’s a straight section of cable and is susceptible to dirt and other contamination, I’m not sold on that thinking. Lucas did say that their in-house metal shop could modify the frame to have full-length housing. The other option would be to use a housing guide adapter like this from Problem Solvers. On the dropper post front, Landyachtz can set up a dropper with either GRX, SRAM left shifters (they have them in stock), or the Easton AX dropper lever. This cable port can also be used to run a front derailleur.

As far as getting an AB-ST for yourself, you have a few options. The global parts shortage has encouraged Landyachtz to sell it as a frameset to start. Currently, it’s too challenging to source enough components for any specific build kit, so they’ll be working with their customers to either piece together a completely custom build or work with whatever they have access to at the time. They have lots of Easton wheels and cockpits on hand, but certain drivetrains are harder to get. Although stock, ready-to-buy build kits make things easier, I’m excited to see what kind of unique AB-ST builds come out of their shop. If you’re interested, you might want to move quickly, as Landyachtz is only producing 100 framsets to start.

• Balanced and stable platform for bikepacking and more
• Off-road geometry is exciting when compared to AB1/AB-AL
• Lots of mounts on frame and fork and room for a big frame bag
• Dropper post routing and 2.2″ tire clearance
• Aesthetically pleasing lines and classy paint job
• 26 pounds isn’t bad for the burly build tested
• Long geometry and slow handling in high-trail mode takes some getting used to
• Exposed cable under chainstay is a little odd
• No stock builds, and a global parts shortage could make actually building one up difficult and more expensive
• Somewhat pricey at $1,250 CAD for a frameset, but not far off from the competition
• Limited to 100 framesets
• Model/Size Tested: Landyachtz AB-ST, XL
• Weight: 26lb (11.8kg) with pedals
• Place of Manufacture: Taiwan
• Price: $1,250 CAD / ~$975 USD (frameset)
• Manufacturer’s Details: LandyachtzBikes.com

In a time when our industry has an overwhelming number of gravel bike options, I ended my review of the original Landaychtz AB1 thinking, is that it? I was curious whether or not they’d come back with an updated version with less road-like geometry and more off-road capability. If you’ve made it this far, you’re probably well aware that they did. The Landyachtz AB-ST is everything I want out of a versatile, drop bar 29er. Features like 2.2″ tire clearance, dropper post routing, Chromoly Steel frame, carbon fork, and loads of mounting options tick off every box for me. Plus, the angles and specs match up as well. It lives up to Landyachtz’s claims and makes for the perfect platform to tackle the growing number of gravel routes in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. It might not be the fastest or most agile gravel bike out there, but it’s not designed to be.

Michael Perreault and Thomas Edstrand put their heads together in the basement of a ski club to create a better skateboard to get around college campus.

The first launch was 2001, but the Dinghy really rose in popularity with the boom in mini cruisers in 2013 and beyond. To date, the Dinghy is our best selling Landyachtz skateboard complete.

Perhaps the most iconic downhill skateboard ever made, the Landyachtz Evo was a departure from just about everything that was seen previously. Landyachtz jumped into the spotlight with this insane board design.

One Board = One Tree

Landyachtz believes maple is the best material for skateboard decks (and we agree) but that means using a lot of material from mother nature. So Landy partnered with Eden Projects to plant 1 tree for every 1 skateboard they sell.

An Ongoing Legacy

Landyachtz continues to lead the skateboard pack as an innovator in the longboard and skateboard community.

What Is The Difference Between A Downhill Board And A Freeride Board?

There are a few key differences between downhill and freeride boards. First, downhill boards are designed for speed and stability, while freeride boards are designed for more maneuverability and versatility.

Second, downhill boards have a very stiff deck, while freeride boards can be stiff or have a little bit of flex.

These design differences make each type of board better suited for different kinds of riding.

Downhill boards are designed for speed and stability, while freeride boards are designed for maneuverability, versatility, and often times slides. Choose the right board for the kind of riding you want to do.

How Do You Pronounce Landyachtz?

It's actually quite simple. Just just to say each word separately. Repeat after me: "Land" "Yacht" "zzz"

Don't let the Z throw you off, it's just there for extra steeze.

Another way to think about it is to pronounce it as "land-yak-tz"

Where Are Landyachtz Made?

Landyachtz produces all of its boards in its own factory in Vancouver, Canada or in China.

Landyachtz employs a team of skilled craftsmen and women who are responsible for creating each board by hand. The process begins with choosing the right wood for the deck, which is then cut to size and shaped.

The deck is then carefully gripped with (often custom) grip tape and the wheels and trucks are attached.

The finished product is a high-quality skateboard that is built to last. Landyachtz takes pride in its products and backs them with a 1 year warranty.

This means that if anything goes wrong with your Landyachtz board, you can send it back to the company and they will fix it or replace it for free.

Keep these factors in mind when choosing Landyachtz as your longboard brand, and you're sure to find the perfect board for your riding style.

What's The Easiest Longboard To Ride?

There's no definitive answer to this question , as it depends on a number of factors including your skating experience and skill level. However, certain longboard designs may be more suitable for beginners than others.

For example, boards with wider trucks and larger, softer wheels tend to be more stable and easier to control. If you're looking for an easy-to-ride longboard, make sure to keep these things in mind.

Longboard Or Skateboard: Which Is Best For Beginners?

The number one thing to consider when asking if you want a longboard or a skateboard is going to be what kind of riding do you want to do?

If you answered tricks, a skateboard is going to be the better option.

If you answered cruising, a longboard is going to be the better option.

Still undecided? A hybrid, such as the Landyachtz Dinghy is going to be the best option for you.

Longboards and mini cruisers tend to be a little more expensive than skateboards, but they offer a smoother ride and are easier to control.

Longboards can be better for beginners because they're more stable and easier to balance on. However, if you want to learn tricks such as ollies and kickflips, we recommend going with the smaller skateboard.

When it comes down to it, the best decision is probably going to come down to personal preference between skateboards and longboards.

Whichever you choose, just make sure to wear protective gear and have fun.

Our Longboards are designed to get you out exploring your environment, no matter what kind of terrain you have surrounding you. The boards in this category come in two deck styles; Top mounted or Drop-through. Top mount boards give you tons of leverage over your trucks, giving you a deeper carving, surfy feel and a lively ride underfoot. Drop-through boards are lower to the ground, making them driftier, more stable and blurring the lines between longboarding and freeriding.
