Subtle rocker in the standing platform transitions into the unique “Whale Belly” spoon concave in the nose, which locks in the front foot and allows for a secure stance behind or on top of the truck. This also wedges the front truck for dramatically enhanced agility, resulting in a slalom-style steering bias that allows the more stable rear end to track the more nimble front end.

The Ballona’s mild concave and generous width ensure a comfortable stance and plenty of leverage and control. A short, wide tail and minimal nose provide optimal maneuverability and leverage for slides and tricks in a compact package.

Custom 7-ply maple construction with thicker cross veneers for optimal stiffness, crisp pop, and a smooth ride. The Ballona swims with a rotating pod of graphics: bold, playful celebrations of the marine world that give this board its whale-sized personality. Pick the one that speaks to your inner sea creature.
