Premium Sector 9 longboards delivering smooth cruising, responsive carving, and versatile performance for every riding style and skill level.
Founded in 1993 by Dennis Telafici, Steve Lake, Joel Tudor, and Dave Klimkiewicz, Sector 9 emerged as one of longboarding's pioneering brands during the sport's modern renaissance. Their comprehensive approach encompasses every aspect of longboard culture – from mellow cruising and flowing carves to high-speed downhill and technical dancing. The brand's diverse construction methods utilize everything from traditional maple to bamboo cores and carbon fiber reinforcement, creating boards calibrated for specific riding applications rather than one-size-fits-all compromises. Their entry-level complete setups provide newcomers with quality components and balanced geometry that facilitate proper learning progression, while their premium offerings deliver the specialized performance that advanced riders demand for technical maneuvers and speed-focused disciplines. Sector 9's extensive shape library includes pintails for classic surf-inspired carving, drop-through decks for stable pushing and commuting, top-mount directionals for responsive turning, and flexy dancers for fluid footwork sequences. Each design incorporates decades of refinement, with wheelbase calculations, concave profiles, and flex patterns optimized for their intended purpose. Their team riders span longboarding's full spectrum – from surf-style carvers to technical dancers and downhill specialists – ensuring their board designs accommodate authentic riding approaches rather than theoretical concepts. The brand's commitment to accessible longboarding extends beyond just boards, with educational content and progression-focused designs that help riders develop proper technique across different disciplines. When you're seeking the smooth transportation of commuter cruising, the flowing expression of carving, or the technical precision of dancing, Sector 9 delivers specialized performance with the quality and innovation that established longboarding's modern foundation.
