Arbor Koa Hybrid Longboard

Arbor Koa Hybrid Longboard

The koa hybrid is a great board for cruising the streets and mashing around town. It sports a nice nose and kicktail that allow you to olly, manual, or do just about any type of trick that you can on a regular skateboard. The koa hybrid sports a top layer of hawaiian koa wood on top of canadian maple pressed together to make a unique and beautiful looking board. They call it a hybrid because it is just that; longboard and skateboard all in one. This board can keep up with just about any longboard cruising down the street but can also be taken into the skate parks to carve the bowls.

Recommended set up for this board varies depending on what you are wanting to do with the board. But my recommendations that will allow you to do a little over everything would be to set it up with 10″ gullwing charger trucks for a nice wide base. For the wheels put some orangatang fat free 65mm yellow wheels that will allow for a nice smooth ride but also grip the walls in the skate park just enough. For bearings set it up with some bones reds for a smooth glide that will last a while at a nice low price.
