S9 speed boards
seems S9 have got there shit together and are bring out some stiff racing boards that you wont find at you local surf shop, well thats bullshit, every kid under the sun will have a new model soon, im guessing they dont come as completes and have no idea of prices. any way one of the tightest crews around now with matching boards , leathers and steeze.

Considering that the last sector9 board I saw in a surf shop was just one of their flat flexy pintails with trucks and wheels that should be on a bigW Popsicle deck and was priced at $340 these will probably get put on the shelf for $1000.

You probably won't find these on the shelf at all of the retailers.
I heard that in order of the boards to enter the australian market the wholesaler had to have enough interest from some certain shops. Maybe not every kid under the sun will have one.

sector 9 are a good company man, we can rip on them all we want for dominating the scene, but the fact is they make the scene what it is today. an enormous quantity of people have an s9 as their first board. and their parts are quality, their decks are good quality, their trucks are gullwing, and their only crap truck seems to be the alpine, and their wheels are actually really well used, hopkin cre8ive sk8 and boardshop all sell them up their with otang and abec 11. These boards will probably cost what the other speedboards on the market cost, sure, if they load them up with mission 1's and their 65mm topshelf wheels you might get a complete for $300, but if they stock them with Gullwing Bombers and s9 race wheels these things are going to be doing great things for the market by introducing speedboarding to the general public. If selling longboards at surf shops has got so many people in to the scene, then selling speedboards will do the same.
Dont be hating on s9

the facts are that they dumped major amounts of product on consignment to all the surf shops in a bid to stop the shops from buying stock from others ! ( & that product was crap that reflected on the rest of the market ) am stoked that they may be making good boards now ( maybe ) lets see what they give to the Aust market first !
as for dominating the scene ??? since when ??? for the last 10 or so years they have not made race decks for the market only for team riders !
my veiw is formed from doing reping trips in the surf industry in only to find that they are all over stocked with s9 on consignment that are not selling , do not want to buy stock from others & expect to get consignment due to this !
the issue is with the way they have marketed the product here in oz

S9 is almost two different 'companies'. On one hand you have the 'surf brah' S9, which are all you see when you walk into a surf shop. Between these and z-flex they monopolise the main market that a new longboarder experiences. For many a longboard IS a S9 or a zflex, coupled with whatever components their local core skate shop sells. On the other hand you have the longboarders S9, in which you have some decent boards like the bullet or bomb hills, and decent components like the newer RF's. Unfortunately a bullet complete costs the same as one of those surfy brah boards, of which is half the quality. S9 is owned by Billabong, (and Gullwing is owned by S9), so the same surf shops that stock the clothes stock S9 boards almost exclusively, hence the 'domination.' However the 'good' S9 boards arent on the shelves in surf stores, the overpriced cruisers are, which really doesn't "help make the scene what it is today,"
......on a side note what does every think of these jumpers

i'm pretty sure the 42 and 40 race use the same mold as the old race decks, not sure about the others. They are also releasing the lundberg model which is like an avenger but better lol.
Merrick Wildash said:There race team are riding these now man :P
Really sick boards
Jack Nolan said:really :S
they will still sell heaps, but everyone has been demanding the race decks that they give their riders :S
why make new moulds when they have a mold there they just arent mass producing. seems wierd to me.
but im probably ignorant in this area in one way or another :)
Merrick Wildash said:They are totally different. Nothing like the old ones
Jack Nolan said:its about time s9 released their race boards to the public. They have got to be the suprise hype machinist, everyone has been getting stoked on the release of these since like 2007 on the fish :P
