EASY RIDER & GREAT PERFORMANCE
It´s a must that you love what you ride, and the longboard must give you that feeling you are looking for in every turn, cruise or slide. You don´t need any previous experience in order to become an easy rider, this sport has a really fast learning curve and it´s much grateful than regular tricky skateboarding. |
LIFESTYLE
Longboarding is a lifestyle. It easily replaces a bike and is more portable. Just take your board into the city instead of walking. Park the car a little bit further out of the always very busy city center and cover the last mile longboarding. You'll enjoy it and you will be able to see so much more of a city during your trip. |

Surf Highway wheels have just the right balance between grip, speed, comfort and slide abilities in longboarding.
It was a must for Hammondboards to design a top performance wheel that could suit today´s longboard riders demands. This is the reason of us testing prototypes and urethane formulas for two years before we decided to go for the Surf Highway Custom 70mm standard as you can ride it now. Scratched Urethane Surface.
The urethane surface comes machined-pre-scratched out of the box. This means they are ready to slide as soon as you place them on your trucks. Forget about having to wait some miles before performing a great slide, you will be able to do so in seconds. |
The shape.
The core of these wheels is placed just where it must be in order to provide performance for all styles: Freeriding claims for center set cores for tight and fast turns while best cruising and carving wheels normally have side-set cores, the solution for us was to place the core near the middle of the wheels, almost centered, just shifting it two millimeters towards the inner part of the wheel. This little detail increases the effective axle length, so stability is increased at any speed compared to performance obtained from center set wheels. Strait cut 45 degrees angle lips provide lightness and free ride ability, the angled lips will help you start your sliding maneuvers more easily than if they were just rounded edges. Forget about pushing to the limit in order to start a slide, just ask for it when you need to and Surf Highway Customs will do the rest. SPECS

How they perform.
When carving and cruising Surf Highway Customs provide grip and speed, absorbing as well undesired vibrations from pavement bumps. They will not slide unless you ask them for, and when you do so, get ready for long, controlled and predicted slides, for this urethane is not just urethane, but a special high rebound formula designed for longboarding and not for anything else. Free style demands light weight in the longboard wheels and that is provided by the angled lips, 45 degrees edges mean less urethane weight. |
