Pantheon Pranayama commuter longboard complete

Pantheon Pranayama commuter longboard complete

 This perfect commuter longboard comes completely assembled. It’s ready to ride out of the box with Paris 149mm Street Trucks, 86mm 88 McFly wheels, and Zealous classic high precision bearings.

The Pantheon Pranayama is a meticulously fitting distance and commuter longboard. The board is designed to fit perfectly with 85mm-86mm wheels and street trucks. If you’re focusing on the ease of the journey, whether a beginner or advanced rider, the Pranayama will easily get you wherever you’re going with as little effort as possible over just about any distance. No other longboard features this low of a ride height with as big of wheels as a stock setup. Period.

Meticulously Designed

Riders all over the world are consistently say the same thing: the Pranayama is the most used board in their quiver. Featuring an extremely low ride height, lightweight design, comfortable flex, slim profile, and perfectly fitted components, this longboard stands above all others in ease of use and fit. This board is made for your body, and it’s made for this setup. Large wheels will roll over just about anything in your path, and slim 149mm trucks create an overall thin profile that allows riders to keep their centre of gravity closer to their push foot, resulting in greater balance and power. The lowest of low standing platforms allows for easier foot pushing and effortless foot braking. Beginners and experts alike will benefit from this greater efficiency, and riders will find themselves traveling further on a longboard than they originally thought possible. 

Start with the stock set up

Because the Pranayama is designed specifically around street-style trucks, this board will come alive on the streets in a way that you’ve never felt on a distance longboard. It may take a little getting used to, being so lively, but 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 a win at the 2019 Beijing Skateboard Marathon–its debut skateboard distance race! What this means is that this board is ready to go the day you open the box. 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.

Construction

Pantheon construct these boards with a trusty 6-ply maple core. Outside of the maple core, the deck is wrapped in triaxial fiberglass. This fiberglass makes the board much stronger and more weather resistant. Although not waterproof, the Pranayama will handle the elements all season long. Finally, outside of the fiberglass, the deck is wrapped in a slim hardwood veneer. The veneer helps to protect the board from breaking the fiberglass strands. This gives your commuter longboard further longevity and should give peace of mind when scraping the board on curbs and bumps. Although not indestructible, this board is a tank. Riders should expect a comfortable ride from small children up to adults up to 110kgs. If you’re heavier than that, please consider the Quest and Nexus decks as even tougher and larger commuter boards!
