The Gordito is the over-sized street shape that you didn’t know you needed. Whether you’re a bigger rider tired of feeling cramped on 8 wide boards or just looking for a bigger platform to make riding away on hectic terrain a little easier, give the Gordito a shot.

Big Boards Are Fun!

Details
Length: 35.0in
Width: 10.0in
Wheelbase: 17.5in

The Gordito takes a familiar street shape and gives it a generous dose of extra length and width, making it one of the biggest boards in our lineup. Ideal for riders with bigger feet or those who simply want more room to move, the Gordito delivers a stable platform that inspires confidence whether you’re popping ollies, hitting the park, or just rolling over rougher terrain.

The Classic setup is outfitted with wide 180mm Polar Bear trucks and 63mm EZ Hawgs. Great for tricks and sliding. This setup feels solid underfoot and maintains effortless roll speed, even when the pavement gets rough.

The Carve setup is 130mm Polar Bear trucks and 63mm Fatty Hawgs. Perfect for quick turns and fast cruising. This setup uses the narrow trucks, providing more leverage and deeper turns, matched with the wider Fatty hawgs, for momentum and a turny-slidey feel.

Key Features:
Generous Dimensions (35″ x 10″): Provides ample foot space and stability for bigger riders or anyone who prefers more room.
Surfy & Stable Ride: Delivers a smooth, controlled feeling that’s forgiving on rough surfaces and fun to carve.
Trick-Ready Tail & Nose: Extra-wide tail for big ollies and a roomy nose for confident flicks, flips, and foot placement.
Modular Setup Potential: Easily swap in different trucks or wheels to tailor the ride—go narrower for nimble turns, or add more grip for carving and speed.
All-Purpose Performance: Equally at home in the skatepark, on sidewalks, in ditches, or anywhere you want to roll in style and comfort.

Pantheon Longboards – Pranyama – Complete

Pantheon Longboards – Pranyama – Complete

This perfect commuter longboard exists, and it comes completely assembled, in house, for you.

Pantheon Pranayama Complete: The Ultimate Commuter Longboard

Meticulously Designed for Effortless Commuting

Riders worldwide consistently tell us that the Pranayama is the most used board in their quiver. This meticulously designed commuter longboard complete is truly utilitarian, with no extra frills and no wasted space. Use it to get where you’re going, and use it for fun!

When you purchase a Pranayama Complete from Pantheon, you can be confident that you’re getting an excellent setup and riding experience right out of the box on day 1. Featuring an extremely low ride height, lightweight design, comfortable flex, slim profile, and perfectly fitted components, this complete commuter longboard stands above all others in ease of use and fit.

We designed the board specifically to fit these parts, even going so far as to design the trucks and wheels from scratch to fit the deck even better than the previous stock parts we were using.

Combine with the large 92mm Karma or 102mm Hoku wheels and you will roll over just about anything in your path. The 149mm Stylus trucks create an overall slim profile that allows riders to keep their push foot closer to their balance foot and center of gravity, resulting in greater balance and power.

The low standing platform allows for easier pushing and effortless foot braking. Beginners and experts alike will benefit from this greater efficiency. Riders will find themselves traveling further on a longboard than they originally thought possible.

Start with the Stock Setup
Because the Pranayama is designed specifically around street-style trucks, this complete commuter longboard will come alive on the streets in a way that you’ve never felt on a distance or commuter longboard. It may take a little getting used to, being so lively. Once you do, it’s a whole lot of fun, and you’ll find yourself outside riding further and longer than ever.

While this board makes for an excellent distance commuter/cruiser at low speeds, it was ridden fully stock to win the 2019 Beijing Skateboard Marathon–its debut skateboard distance race! It has continued to perform since then, and most recently, it even won the women’s class at the 2024 Broadway Bomb! Riders find that the Pranayama specifically maneuvers around foot traffic and road obstacles with greater speed and ease than most other longboards at high pushing speeds.

Although riders may find over time that they want to customize bushing setups, we recommend that you try it out stock first and give it a little bit of time to get used to it. Give your body the chance to build a little muscle memory and ankle strength. You will likely find yourself pushing faster and further than ever in just a couple weeks. Regardless of your weight, most riders take a liking to the stock bushings, but we of course recommend that you make it your own if you find a desire to make adjustments!

Pantheon TKP Trucks
One thing of note: We have recently changed the stock setup to include the Pantheon Stylus 149mm TKP trucks. These were specially designed for Pantheon boards in a way that no other truck really has been before. For starters, you can fit regular sized bushings on this truck! We include it with double barrel bushings, and the board side bushing is what we call a “plug barrel,” which fills the space in the hanger for the kingpin hole and reduces slop. This makes the trucks extra reactive, but one of the great things about the Pantheon TKP is that it reacts very well to bushing adjustments when tightening down the kingpin nut. If it’s too much for you, simply turn the kingpin nut a half turn and see how you like it. Need more? Turn it another half turn!”

Wheel Options
Pantheon Stylus Trucks even work with the new 102mm Hoku Wheels with the Pranayama complete! We have found that you can easily ride these trucks with these larger wheels just by tightening down the nut an extra quarter turn, and this happens without significantly restricting the truck’s articulation, meaning you can still have a nice and lively setup. For maximum flexibility and liveliness with your truck setup, run the 92mm Karma wheels. But if you’re feeling bold and want to steamroll everything in your path, choose the 102mm Hokus! Setting up this huge-wheeled commuter longboard complete to be totally bite free is a non-issue with the Stylus trucks.

Choose the 92mm Karma wheels for maximum grip and acceleration. Choose the 102mm Hoku wheels for maximum comfort and rolling momentum.

Construction
We are constructing these boards with a trusty 6-ply maple core. Outside of the maple core, we wrap the deck in triaxial fiberglass. This fiberglass makes the board much stronger and more weather resistant. Although not totally waterproof, the Pranayama will handle the elements all season long. Finally, outside of the fiberglass, we wrap the deck in a slim hardwood veneer. We use the veneer to help protect the board from breaking the fiberglass strands, giving this complete commuter longboard further longevity. And it should give peace of mind when scraping the board on curbs and bumps, helping to prevent the fiberglass from fraying and getting into your hands when you pick up the board. Although not indestructible, this board is a tank. Riders should expect a comfortable ride from small children up to adults up to 240 lbs. If you’re heavier than that, please consider the Quest and Nexus decks as even tougher and larger commuter boards!

Pantheon Pranayam Deck – Cosmic Turtle, Gas Guzzler Graphics or Portal

Landyachtz – Raft Trout – Complete

Landyachtz Longboards – Raft Trout – Complete Skateboard Cruiser

The Raft is inspired by the surfy, functional boards from the early 90’s. This shape is wide and features modern concave, along with a full-size nose and tail. It takes our proven cruiser setups from the Dinghy and Tugboat and puts them into a different shape that is perfect for skating around any urban environment. Ideal as a first cruiser, and a favorite among people with a traditional skate background. The Raft will likely be the number one board in your quiver.

Key Features:
Wide platform for comfort and controlled turning
Full Size Nose and tail fully functional traditional skate deck
Mellow Concave for comfort and relaxed riding
Traditional Skate feel with more turn Polar Bear 130mm trucks & 63mm Fatty Hawgs

Artwork Tim Johnson

At 32.5” long and a maximum width of 9.9”, this maverick is more like a white-water raft than a dinghy. Featuring artwork by Jordy Garcia Paredes that highlights a blue dyed veneer, every deck has a one-of-a-kind look. The Raft has a subtle taper and big width, matched with a nice, mellow, tub concave to give you lots of foot space and provide added confidence and comfort. The setup is 130mm Polar Bear traditional kingpin trucks and 63mm Fatty Hawgs. Combined with half inch risers for phenomenal wheel clearance, this board adds confidence and flow to your riding style and is secretly a mega carver disguised as an old-school street skate. Cruising has never been livelier than with this beast.

Pantheon – Adam Ornelles Pink Hoku – 102mm 78a

Pantheon Longboards – Adam Ornelles Pink Hoku – 102mm 78a

Diameter: 102mm
Width: 56mm
Contact Patch: 52mm
Durometer: 78a
Color: Pink
Weight: 326g each

Pantheon Hoku wheels are a product of working directly with one of the world’s best competitive distance skateboarders, Adam Ornelles. Adam helped us hone the 92mm Karma wheel, but even though he loves those wheels, he still wants to compete in races on even larger wheels, and that’s when the 102mm Hoku Wheels come into play.

No expense was spared making these wheels the absolute jammy jam. We tested multiple shapes and molds. We were proven wrong on certain theories and truly honed this wheel shape through experience. A deeper flex channel on the inside lip provides extra edge flex needed for this larger diameter. A relatively small 52mm contact patch both keeps the weight down while also providing consistent grip that can be counted on. We actually did test wider contact patches and found that while we could get slightly more maximum grip out of certain widths, it made the wheel less predictable and it would release grip unexpectedly, while this 52mm contact patch was consistent and felt more comfortable and trustable when pushed to its limits. It doesn’t hurt that the smaller CP drops a few grams either!

The Hoku are the lightest wheels in their size category, featuring our 55mm lightweight custom core and just the right amount of urethane and in the right shape to get the job done. Although they are light for their size, they’re still quite hefty unless you’re used to riding wheels this large! Choose the Hoku when weight and ride height is less important than maximum roll speed over less than perfect pavement and extended momentum. The large diameter will even out road bumps and debris, and at 10mm larger than our 92mm Karma wheels, they will increase the ride height by 5mm. Getting them going requires more power, but they hold momentum like nothing else!

These wheels come in two different durometer (softness) options. Green 74a or Pink 78a. Choose the green for comfort. Choose the pink for racing and/or hotter climates and smoother roads. Both are extremely high rebound race-level urethane. The fastest in the biz! Urethane does fluctuate in measurable softness dependent on heat. So if you’re in super hot climates like South Florida or Singapore in the summer, we recommend you get on that pink 78a for a more durable and more suitable urethane for the climate.
