Artist: Landyachtz Original Art
The Dinghy Blunt Pinecone is an all purpose cruiser that pays homage to the conifer rich rainforests of the Pacific North West region in which we reside. Our Dinghy Blunt shape was designed to be stable, with a little extra width where you need and slightly wider trucks than the other Dinghy shapes. The Dinghy Blunt Pinecone is great for riders with bigger feet or anyone looking for a little more stability and confidence out of their cruiser board. The 130mm trucks and 60mm wheels make sliding a breeze.
The Dinghy Blunt is a small cruiser board that comes in at 28.5" long and 8.6 wide. The extra width up front and significant taper means you get more leverage over the front truck than the rear one, which gives it more directional steering characteristics and a bit more stability than the classic Dinghy shape. The Dinghy Blunt is pressed with 7 plies of Canadian maple for a light, stiff and poppy ride and comes set up with Polar Bear 130mm trucks to match the width of the deck. 60mm 78a Chubby Hawgs wheels finish off the setup and ensure you'll have a smooth ride with plenty of roll speed and grip without having to worry about wheelbite.
TRUCKS
POLAR BEAR 130MM
Some of us still like to ride a board that is a bit on the narrower-side. And, of course, you need trucks to match it. If you step down in board size then it's time to step it up to the 130mm Polar Bears. Sold in pairs.
Bushings: 85a is softer, 90a is harder. Softer bushings are more lively but less stable - with 88a being what we usually use in our completes.
WHEELS
60MM CHUBBY HAWGS
Chubby Hawgs are the wheel of choice on many of our cruiser and ATV completes and are now available separately in all the colours of the rainbow! You can upgrade your cruiser set up today. They use the same high-quality urethane found in the Fatty Hawgs for premium performance, just in a smaller package.
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.
