Loaded CevicheLoaded Ceviche Longboard Complete
With a built-in tail and subtle nose kick, this replacement for the Fish is a versatile link between carving bliss and old school/street skating. Camber and concave between the kicks allows for carving and pumping, while the nose and tail create a more surf-oriented feel with lots of opportunities for tricks. Loose and agile, it's time to explore the limits of your sidewalk and hill thrashing abilities.
With a built in vert-lam tail and a mellow nose, the Ceviche takes the best aspects of the Fish, dices it up and dishes out something brand new. Similar in length to the Fish, but with a shorter wheelbase, the Ceviche can be ridden between the trucks for pumping or off the tail for an aggressive, surfy feel. The tail is a bit softer than a traditional street deck tails, allowing for rebound and responsiveness. While the board can be ollied and lends itself to many standard street skating tricks, tech tricks are not it's primary intention. Loose and agile, it's time to explore the limits of your sidewalk and hill thrashing abilities.

GRAPHIC: The Fish graphic was originally designed by Jan Michael Bennett and influenced by ancient Japanese screens. The graphic was redesigned by Pablo and Diana of Nana Studio for the Fish. With the advent of the Ceviche, the graphic was baked into its current form. |
