About Khiro: Khiro Skateboard Products officially closed in 2017. The line is no longer in production so availability is limited to remaining stock. Khiro Skateboard Products was originally owned and operated by Bob and Lou Ann Hinrichs and was based in San Marcos, CA. All products were engineered and manufactured in Southern California of the highest quality materials. Their impressive and innovative line featured bushings, risers, wedges, hardware and more to cater to all types of skateboarding, such as street, banks, bowls, rails, gaps, transition, big vert, pipes, slalom and downhill. Sadly, “Khiro Bob” passed away in 2024 after a long and well-fought battle with cancer. The legacy of the Khiro name fondly lives on in the skateboard community… we will forever appreciate the contributions and caring attention to customers offered by the Hinrichs.

Light-weight Versatile Single Kick
Shadow 37:
The Shadow aims to suit freeriding with a versatile single kick, gentle ½” (1.3cm) micro-drop and flat standing platform. Designed with style in mind, this board comes with our embedded fiberglass to add strength, pop, and reduce weight. The length provides optimal clearance when commuting, but all the maneuverability needed for quick thinking.
New mold designs offer a fresh take on curves, redefining where tri-plane and radial meet. The concave sports a comfortable 5/8″ (1.6cm) radial-tri-plane concave throughout the standing platform, allowing optimal curve and leverage. The flairs bring the platform together, for added leverage and clearance. The kick also sports concave, keeping you more connected with the overall feel.

Welcome to the Flatspot Weekly. Where we take a synopsis of whatever is epic and rad and wrap it all into one big post to inspire and excite your skate nerves!
The Arbor highground has an extremely well designed and functional concave, with too many features to fully explain in writing.
Its sad really, to see such a young bright mind throw his whole life downhill. Actually, no, its not. Its epic, and hence we present the Valhalla Sho Stopper! Couldn’t be more proud of team rider Sho Ouellette getting a Valhalla pro-model!
Its not easy to get your own Pro-Model. Sho Ouellette had to sell his soul and his first born child to get this, and make an oath to only lead his life on a destructive downhill path. But its hard to blame him when you see this totally sick board. Symmetrical to suite his freeridy style, wide and long for that stability at speed, with all the rocker and concave to keep you on top of the board and not skidding across the pavement. And that graphic! Its too good. To honor Shos loss we completed the Valhalla Sho Stopper with Paris Savants and Orangatang Skiffs, because why not slide that extra 25 ft?
