White Wave Bamboo Longboard Skateboard Complete

I just got back on a board after about 20 years -- even back then I was a full on amateur who fell just about every time my feet touched grip tape. But this board is a dream come true for me, it feels so great, and I feel like a pro on such a lovely and smooth board.Deck: The deck is lovely to look at, but it also feels very sturdy with a light spring to it. I am a 300lbs man and I have no fear of snapping through this thing at all.Trucks: The trucks turn beautifully, I can easily carve and there is no looseness anywhere.Bearings: The Hellion 2 bearings roll smooth and silent. They're fast enough, and I don't feel any resistance from the bearings when I push off.Wheels: The wheels are just the right level of softness for what I would want on a board. I was able to roll over small gravel patches without issue, the wheels taking most of the impact while still rolling on over. They also grip nicely. If I were looking to do any downhill and expecting to power-slide, I'd go with a harder wheel, but these are perfect for a relaxing cruise (which is exactly what I was looking to do)That's my amateur review, I love this board and I think it was the perfect purchase for me. So, if the above is what you're looking for in a board, I think you should pick this on up.

I have been researching longbord's for a while now. My end game is to create a DIY eSkate electric board, so the most important consideration for me was...the deck. I wanted functionality and look. I went back and forth with a few brands, and before I decided to make the decision, I came across White Wave boards. The boards looked stunning with the natural bamboo and maple layers, which is way more appealing to me than crazy murals and deck tape. Reviews seemed top notch and legit. Price seemed almost too good to be true. They were selling a complete board, wheels, trucks and all for $100. I was close to buying just a deck from another manufacturer for much more. Then I went to their website to glean more insight and knowledge. Interesting, the site is still up, but doesn't look like its been updated since 2016. Starting looking though their wares, and one by one they were sold out. Is this company still in existence? Of the three White Wave board choices available on Amazon, I went with the closest thing to the cruiser (Cruiser and Warrior were my first 2 choices) and purchased the White Wave Shocker longboard. I thought, you know, this is cheap enough to buy and try and if I decided it wasn't going to be my main deck for my eSkate, I still would have a cheap, complete board to tootle around with.It arrived yesterday, and with my anticipation and excitement through the roof, opened it up. First word that came to mind? B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!! I cannot believe that I was able to purchase this hing for a hundred bucks...and fully complete at that! I figured the trucks, wheel, bearings an all would be garbage and that regardless of if this was going to be the deck that I created my eSkate with, I would end up upgrading the components either way. To my surprise, out of the box, and hitting the pavement, this board rolls amazing. Like, I am e White Wave Bamboo Longboards (Shocker) ven more stunned I got this for a hundo!In a fortuitous and happy conclusion, I am grateful and to have gotten this model, the Shocker. It has all the right curves, in all the right places. This board is epic, beautiful, and rides like a dream, and THIS IS the board I am going to create my DIY eSkate out of. The deck itself is worth more than the price alone for me. So HAPPY I purchased!

I did some research online. Boards for bigger riders, and this works for me at 6ft 4 and 270 lbs. However there is a little separating near the drop through as I am reaching the highest allowable weight by the board. Anyone 250 and under I think this board would last you as long as you keep it well maintained.Great for cruising and carving. Possibly also for downhill.

If you don't rate this 4 stars or higher you don't know your longboards. For all the people who gave this a bad rating because of hardware being loose is ridiculous. Before you go ride anything you should always check your hardware regardless. I have had longboards that were twice as much money as this and not half as nice. If you want an amazing longboard I would definitely buy this.

The Warrior is what I purchased.I am no expert but boy this seems like such a high quality board for so such little money. The bamboo is beautiful with a glossy underside, a really cool grippy top side that looks to be sprayed on, the hardware, bearings and wheels all scream quality and are so smooth and quiet. I didn't have to adjust a single thing out of the box, the hardware is snug and tight and it rides very stable, yet it is easy to carve from side to side. I would highly recommend this board to anybody looking for a quality board for a great value from a company that supports the product.

Before I go to far, let it be known I have been longboaring and skateboarding for 4 or so years but I like easy going rides, not really into tricks, and this cruiser gets the job done right. It is not only a stunning board but also very smooth and turns well! It is well worth the money, and I would recommend it for either experienced longboarders or beginners as it would suit both.

When I bought this longboard people where saying that it was a great board and it handled well and all that. I got the warrior and it is amazing!! I’m not kidding this board is so smooth all I had to do it tighten some of the hardware and it was perfect! I highly recommend this longboard!
