Designed to rally big mountain terrain and conquer World Cup podiums, the Switchblade has proven itself equally adept at getting you to the grocery store and ripping down your local hill safely. The mellow drops, long wheelbase and low ride height combine to offer a drifty, confidence-inspiring feel perfect for riders looking to up their freeride game. The Switchblade 40 is the longer version, offering a more stable ride and slightly easier slide initiation, as well as being a bit more comfortable for taller riders.

The Switchblade is a double dropped freeride shape that is designed to give you a low, comfortable platform for exploring big hills as well as getting around town as quickly as possible. Deep concave and foot pockets at the drops give you the reference points you need to explore the limits of your freeriding, and the 8 ply maple construction keeps the board stiff and under control. The 40 is the larger of the two sizes we offer, measuring 40" long by 10" wide. This board comes set up with 180mm Gen 6 Grizzly trucks and 70mm 78a Hawgs Supremes wheels for premium freeride capabilities straight out of the box.

Flex Rating

Flex has a big impact on the overall feel of your board and is influenced by a bunch of different factors. The main ones being thickness of the deck, it's wheelbase and rider weight. To put the equation in laymans terms: more flex occurs when you decrease thickness of the deck, increase the wheelbase and increase rider weight. The more flex in your board the more carvy and agile it'll feel, less flex means it's more stable and suited for faster skating. We test every complete with a device we built in house, specifically to standardize flex ratings.

Excellent quality

Although the Switchblade 38 Crown Peak is my first longboard, it has made me a fan of Landyachtz. The online ordering process was effortless and shipped quickly to Taiwan, with the board well protected. The Crown Peak is well built, rides smoothly and faultless.

Super solid

I love this board. I’ve had it about 6 months now and I skate to/from the gym (3 miles round trip) multiple times a week. The board is super solid and I feel very stable on it. The wheels that come with board are the 69mm hawgs which are great wheels. My previous longboard that I got from Amazon has much smaller wheels and I think the larger wheels that this board has contribute to its stability. After several months of use I did decide to upgrade the wheels to 85mm orangutang wheels and I absolutely do not regret that decision. The board is absolutely unstoppable now and handles poor pavement like a champion. Highly recommend

Mountainbreeze with the scent of woods

I am fairly new to longboarding and i had a other board before, but this one is great. It feels like I would glide on the rural and well made streets of austria. I definitly will and also already recommended it to my friends. Great longboard!
