Landyachtz – Drop Cat 38 Dune – Deck

Landyachtz Longboards – Drop Cat 38 Dune – Deck

** DECK ONLY

Time-tested maple construction and super low ride height come together with a futuristic rocker profile to create a board that lets you travel through time to sample the very best of what we’ve learned over 20-plus years of designing boards. The Dune graphic is created by Jesse Stone. This larger, directional drop-through longboard comes in at 38″ long by 9.9″ wide. 8 ply construction in a board of this size results in a tiny amount of dampening flex which works to smooth out your ride on any rougher roads while still being stiff enough to handle some speed and sliding. This board also has a healthy dose of rocker and aggressive concave to keep your feet comfortable and locked in place while freeriding. You will notice the flares starting to rise as your foot nears the four corners of the standing platform, which gives you great reference points, so you know exactly where your feet are without looking down. The longer wheelbase and larger turning circle of the 38” version of the Drop Cat means that you can savor each carve a little more and utilize a laid back, flowy riding style. Having a wider standing platform also allows you to spread your feet out more which makes it easier to balance and makes this board slightly more predictable than the smaller 33” version. The Drop Cat comes equipped with our flagship 50-degree 180mm Grizzly Gen 6 trucks ideal for deep carves and confident cruising as well as some big 72mm 78a Plow King wheels for a smooth, fast and super grippy ride.

Pantheon – Eco Ember Torus- Deck

Pantheon Longboards – Eco Ember Torus 2024 – Deck

The Pantheon Ember is back! Many riders know and love this board already and can skip this paragraph. For those who have yet to get acquainted, the Ember is a top of the line commuter board designed around 149mm TKP trucks. Compared to a board like the Pranayama, the Ember sacrifices some of the low-ness and instead shaves some heft and adds a tail. The platform is slightly smaller than the Pranayama, but similar enough that if you can ride one, you can ride the other. The width gets cut down a meaningful half inch and puts the widest part of the deck at the center in the “belly” of the board. The ends of the standing platform are closer to 8 inches in width. This makes the board feel notably smaller and it will suit smaller riders, women and children, and people who just want a commuter deck that feels small–like a mini cruiser but way easier to push around.

The Ember is sexy and curved with care. It screams style, and we’ve got four styles of Embers to fit whatever your needs may be on the road: Classic Ember (Tail Kick, Small Nose), Urban Ember (Tail Kick, Chopped nose), Freestyle Ember (Nose and Tail Kicks), and the Eco Ember (Chopped Nose and Tail).

Please note: do not set this board up RKP-style longboard trucks. The Ember 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 available options here and set it up very similarly, and you’re assured to have a uniquely awesome riding experience.

Pantheon – Sacrifice – Deck

Pantheon Longboards – Sacrifice 2024 – Deck

SPECS
Length: 35.3″
Width: 9.17″ front bolts, 9.12″ back bolts, 9.7″ max width
Wheelbase: 24.5″ – 26″

CONCAVE
The concave on the Sacrifice pays homage to the Sacrifice of old while modernizing to Pantheon’s 2024 standards. The deck was so good when we first made it back in 2017 that some of our team riders never got off of it, even if they were still riding a deck that was made in 2019. We didn’t want to mess that up, but we also wanted to use some of the skills that we’ve built over the past few years to create a sleeker, better looking board that reflects some of the concave desires of modern riders.

With that said, we lowered the W concave, so that you can still feel it, but it’s far less intrusive. We also smoothed out the flares so that the board overall just feels smoother from front to back. The board retains its original 1/4″ microdrops, rocker, and W concave, but it tones down the concave and steepness of the original W-concave. The deck is widest where it counts, at the heel of the front foot, and features a waist that feels great for tucking, with a mild taper from front to back.

CONSTRUCTION
8 ply maple with triaxial fiberglass. We place the glass under the bottom layer of wood and put black dyed fiberglass on the top for a smooth, shiny finish that feels high quality to the look and touch. The deck has very little torsional flex, as do all of our downhill boards.

Griptape: 60 grit across the deck. We’ve tested a lot of grip over the years and this 60 grit is both grippy while not being over-the-top, and it appears thus far to be our most durable. You’ll find the same grip on our Fantail Cruiser, Kenny Napp Pro, Lisa Peters Pro, and our Bamboo Supersonics.

CONCEPT
The Sacrifice is a bi-directional downhill/freeride board. It was our most successful downhill product back when we first made this deck in 2017. Production changes resulted in losing our ability to manufacture this board, and it just took the back seat for a few years while we worked on other ideas and wanted to support our pro riders with pro model boards. Like all of our products, we didn’t want to design this board without being sure of how to improve it. Simply re-making the old design felt like it would be missing a growth element, so we waited for inspiration. The 2024 Sacrifice takes the bones of the previous model, smooths out all the curves, and takes a great feeling board and makes it sexy. We brought in the wheelbase a bit more so that the board reflects modern riders, lowered the concave a little, and reduced the peak of the W-concave, so that it’s more comfortable underfoot. Mongo riders might even be able to push this thing at a start line!

GRAPHIC
A classic Eddie Kihm piece–same as the original. This has always been one of our favorite graphics. It depicts a figurative “rebirth,” where the subject is in a meditative stance and is stabbing herself in the chest, sacrificing her current condition to the will of the Universe. The blood takes form as fallen leaves as she lies in the middle of the woods, taking on an annual dying and rebirth of their own. We like this graphic so much, we didn’t even put our name on it, as we felt branding would just take away from the scene. Anyway, you will know it’s a Pantheon the second it’s under your feet.

SETUPS
We like 160-165mm trucks and slide wheels on the Sacrifice. You can just as easily ride full 180mm, but the former will provide a better rail match. User discretion here, but we like a symmetrical setup, as this board likes to ride backward just as much as it likes to go forward.

Pantheon – Lisa Peters Pro Model Athena – Deck

Pantheon Longboards – Lisa Peters Pro Model Athena – Deck

SPEC
Length: 35.07″
Width: 8.26″ front bolts, 8.38″ back bolts, 9.1″ max width
Wheelbase: 21″ – 22″

CONCAVE
The concave on the Lisa Peters is a medium radial concave. We added very slight micro drops in the front and rear. They’re small enough that you can stand right over the top of them without feeling imposed upon, but they’re there to add as a reference for the feet and to lower the center of the deck to make this board fun to take just about anywhere, even if it’s the only board you bring on a skate trip. The kick tail is a classic middle-low degree snub tail that is ideal for more downhill boards. It’s functional and stylish without being overbearing. There is a mild rocker in the standing platform. Flush mounts pull into the drops so you can stand right on the bolts.

CONSTRUCTION
8 ply maple with triaxial fiberglass. We place the glass UNDERNEATH the top and bottom layer of wood for the purpose of comfort for the rider. This deck has a tail, and riders are beating the crap out of it. We don’t want you to get glass in your hands as this board starts to wear; however, we want you to get the benefits of fiberglass in the board, so we cover the outside with maple. Like all Pantheon boards in the current lineup, the entire board is laminated with waterproof resin. While the deck is not entirely waterproof, it is much more weatherproof and warp resistant than many other boards. Downhill stiffness out of the box.

Griptape: 60 grit across the deck. We’ve tested a lot of grip over the years and this 60 grit is both grippy while not being over-the-top, and it appears thus far to be our most durable. You’ll find the same grip on our Fantail Cruiser, Kenny Napp Pro, Sacrifice, and our Bamboo Supersonics.

CONCEPT
Watching Lisa skate, she has a very surfy style, and so from the go, we wanted to make a deck for Lisa that expressed this style to the max. The Lisa Pro features smooth lines from nose to tail to further express her style in board form. Lisa has a small stance and stands just a touch behind her front truck, which is why we felt comfortable putting a very small micro drop in the deck, so that she always has a reference point for where she is on her board without having to look down. The drop is small enough that she can stand right on top of it. And you can too! Lisa’s board was tested in several shapes, and the final shape we came up with fits her stance just right, hits all the style points, and features a stiff construction with 21-22 inch wheelbase options that is great for both downhill and freeride.

GRAPHIC
New art by Eddie Kihm. After many discussions, we all decided to move forward with a greek goddess concept, which made a lot of sense given the nature of the Gods and competition, all of the inherent symbolism involved, and with Lisa as a competitive European downhill skateboarder. I will just quote directly from Eddie on this, as he tends to really go in deep on the symbolism and I don’t think I can express this graphic more clearly without just quoting him! From Eddie: “The core idea is a spin on the classic eagle vs snake tattoo motif, turning it into an owl vs sea serpent to represent Athena and Poseidon. I really like Athena as a symbol for knowledge and wisdom, which ties into the third eye motif we use a lot to represent a transcendental wisdom. Poseidon was characterized as having a short volatile temper, so I feel like this battle is a representation of enlightenment vs ignorance.”

SETUPS
Many riders will feel most comfortable on this board with small trucks. 120-130mm with square lips and up to 150mm max with round lips. Most riders will fall into an asymmetrical setup on this deck, as it is a small wheelbase, and you’ll likely want that natural stability of a low degree rear truck.

A TRUE PRO MODEL
Not just a pro model in name only. Pantheon’s pro model decks have a profit share set up to help fuel this pro rider’s dreams. We don’t want to overstate ourselves. We are still a small company selling limited numbers of our pro model decks. But when you ride this pro’s model, you are literally taking part in supporting this skater’s life. Each one counts toward our goal of supporting these skaters we believe in.

Pantheon – Kenny Knapp Pro Model Los Osos – Deck

Pantheon Longboards – Kenny Knapp Pro Model Los Osos – Deck

SPECS
Length: 38.95″
Width: 9.23″ front bolts, 9.41″ back bolts, 9.91″ max width
Wheelbase: 24.5″ – 25.5″

CONCAVE
The concave on the Kenny Napp is a fairly standard medium-low radial concave. We put wheel flares perfectly in position for the front and back wheels, and the flares are actually in the same shape that your wheels will fall into the wells. This results in the concave getting slightly more aggressive the closer you get to the bolts. Overall, the board feels relaxed with functional flares to push on for more technical riding.

CONSTRUCTION
8 ply maple with triaxial fiberglass. We place the glass UNDERNEATH the top and bottom layer of wood for the purpose of comfort for the rider. This deck has a tail, and riders are beating the crap out of it.

CONCEPT
Kenny Napolitano is the latest team rider to get himself a pro deck. Partly due to his incredible style, partly hard work, and partly because he needed a certain style of deck that we felt really fit well into our growing lineup. Kenny is a versatile rider, and we’ve been watching him absolutely slay every deck in the lineup, but when we first saw him skate, he was on a big single kick. Here we are, full circle. The “Los Osos,” as he calls it, is the type of large single kick deck that lets Kenny be Kenny. And who knows? Maybe it’ll give you the same type of freedom that you’ve been looking for in a downhill skateboard, too.

GRAPHIC
New art by Rafa Alvarez on this “Los Osos” (the bears) graphic. This is an idea right out of the mind and experience of Kenny, depicting a time when he literally RAN INTO A BEAR going downhill. The art depicts a funny concept of the bear going home and telling its family about the experience. Big thanks to Kenny on Rafa on this one. This was a fun graphic to see made into reality.

SETUPS
This deck will shine with 165mm trucks and round lips for an ideal rail matched setup. You can fit wider square lips with 150mm trucks, OR you can always use the classic 180mm trucks for a wider, classic downhill setup. From 150mm up, there is not a really wrong way to set this board up, but we would, in general, recommend a symmetrical setup for this deck. Asym setups are perfectly acceptable, but the standing platform is very symmetrical, so it feels great it switch and shines with a symmetrical setup. The classic 50/50 setup will be the most wheelbite avoidant, and the 40/40 or 43/43 setup will be a bit more stable at speed.
