B-40
The Hammond B-40 is an extremely stable longboard. It performs great in carving, dancing, city cruising and at any slope. 40 inches provide stability at any speed. 9 inches width and soft concave are comfortable for any feet size. Drop-through trucks keep the center of gravity really low. The 33¼" wheelbase helps finishing tight turns into snowboard-like drifts. Although not a freestyle deck, tricks like nose-manuals, shovits and kickflips are easy thanks to its top design and high stability.

Who is the B-40 for?
For the dancer and the rider who wants calm and stability. The long 33¼-inch wheelbase and drop-through mount give the board an extremely low centre of gravity and help finish tight turns into snowboard-like drifts. With 9 inches of width and a soft concave there is plenty of room for cross-steps and footwork. Not the most freestyle-focused deck, but tricks like nose-manuals, shovits and kickflips remain well within reach.
