Features: Standard Complete

A person riding a skateboard outdoors on a concrete sidewalk, wearing black sneakers, black socks, and camouflage shorts. The skateboard has a dark wood-grain deck and bright yellow wheels.

CURVACEOUS CONFIDENCE

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.

Two people standing outdoors by the water holding longboards with a matching graphic deck and contrasting yellow and light blue wheels. The background shows a blurred marina scene with boats.

VERSATILE VARIATIONS

The Ballona includes two wheelbase options for a range of performance characteristics. The outer (16″) wheelbase is designed for reverse-kingpin trucks and/or more stability, while the inner (14.75″) wheelbase is intended for traditional-kingpin (street) trucks and/or more maneuverability.

A person wearing black pants and white sneakers with black stripes stands on a skateboard with bright yellow wheels on an outdoor paved path with grass in the background.

MANEUVERABLE & COMPACT

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.

CHOICE COMPONENTS

Polished Paris V3 150mm trucks deliver lively, predictable turning, while yellow 86a Orangatang Fat Frees keep the ride fast and light with a friendly drift when you call for one. Loaded Jehu V2 bearings keep it all rolling smooth.

CLASSIC LAYUP WITH A TWIST

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.
