Landyachtz has spent over two decades at the forefront of the longboarding movement, evolving from a local Vancouver brand into a global leader. Their reputation is built on a foundation of rigorous testing—if a board doesn't survive the steep, technical hills of the Pacific Northwest, it doesn't make it to production. We value Landyachtz for their vertical integration; by designing their own trucks (Bear Trucks) and wheels (Hawgs), they ensure that every complete setup works in perfect harmony.
The Iconic Dinghy and Cruiser Series
The Dinghy is arguably the most famous cruiser board in the world. Designed to be small enough to carry into a cafe but functional enough to handle real skating, it has set the standard for urban commuting. We stock a massive variety of Landyachtz cruisers, including the slightly wider Tugboat for those who want more stability and the Schooner for a longer wheelbase. These boards feature soft Hawgs wheels and high-quality bearings, making them the smoothest way to navigate a sidewalk.
Drop-Through and Commuter Designs
For riders looking for stability and ease of pushing, Landyachtz’s drop-through collection is unmatched. Models like the Drop Cat and the Battle Axe feature a lower center of gravity, which reduces leg fatigue during long commutes and provides a more secure feel at higher speeds. The rocker profiles and specialized concave designs on these boards ensure that your feet stay locked in, whether you're carving a flat path or navigating a mellow grade.
Downhill and Freeride Performance
Landyachtz's roots are in downhill racing, and that DNA is present in their high-performance models like the Evo and the Switchblade. These boards are engineered with technical maple constructions and specialized shapes to eliminate "speed wobbles" and provide maximum leverage over the trucks. For riders who want to push their limits on steep terrain, Landyachtz offers the stiffness and precision required to stay in control.
One Board, One Tree: Sustainability in Action
Landyachtz doesn't just take from the environment; they give back. Through their "One Board, One Tree" initiative, the brand plants a tree for every board they sell. This commitment to reforestation ensures that the Canadian Maple used to build their decks is a sustainable resource. By choosing Landyachtz, you are supporting a brand that cares as much about the forests where their wood comes from as they do about the quality of your ride.
