The Apex is ready for whatever you throw at it. From big mountain to flatland, if you are looking for a super low, super light longboard, you have come to the right place. The Apex uses CNC routing to drop Original trucks straight to the deck, the end result is a longboard lower than most drop-through mounts and more than a few drop-downs. More flex. More pop. More power. The Apex rides like no other longboard on the market today, come enjoy the differences.

Flex to ease you into the turns, flex to power you back out. Original’s industry leading Hybrid Vert-Lam core keeps the Apex strong and flexible while showing off some of the finer points in longboarding, like full Mahogany hardwood rails, to stand up to your harshest abuse. Performance never looked so good.

Gotta get low. Gotta get fast.

Staying low is key to longboard stability, but a low pivot point also positively influences the turn initiation making pushing a breeze while translating more power to your carves. The Apex makes use of a precision routed groove to drop your Original trucks into the deck, making it the lowest carving specific longboard on the market.

Combustible adjustables.

The Apex deck is drilled with two extra sets of mounting brackets to allow for wheelbase adjustment and can support different wheelbase settings for pinpoint precision. Hit the wheelbase that’s right for you and blow up your local downhill.

Flex doesn’t compromise.

Heavy weight power longboarder or feather light finesse lover, we have your flex prescription dialed. The Apex longboard deck is engineered in four different flex patterns. Find the one that matches your weight and find your new best friend.

The Apex stays strong and light by using fiberglass and an array of precision cut stringers in its core. Stiffer Mahogany stringers with lighter Aspen fill combine in a harmonious blend of two woods, a giant leap over single material core lamination used in other longboards.

i bought this board.....regretted it after about a week no matter what trucks were put on it it was so flimsy it was scary. cant take any weight even when i got the right flex, the width of the deck is to small and it was very unpredictable with standys. so unless ou going to be light cruising and mild freestyle or park do not get this board.

 

Love this board

A great all round board designed for carving,but also fun to ride at the skate park although the Apex 34 would handle the roll ins better. A fun board for cruising and flatland riding, as with the right carving technique you can travel a long distance with a couple of pushes. The apex 37 is not designed for bombing big hills with the loose trucks unless you want to get bucked off.

In general this is a fun board to ride, so get one soon.

 

takes getting used to!

Originals definitely take a while to get used to, but once you do, they're a lot of fun. I wouldn't recommend these for any kind of hill of riding, these boards excel in flatground riding and freestyle. They carve tighter than anything else, and it's pretty crazy. Definitely fun once you get used to it.

 

carving and flatland, period.

if your looking for a surfy freeride carving board this board is great. carves beautifully and is really flowy. the flex is to high i only weigh 130 and even the middles weight is to flexy it bottoms out on a lot of my higher speed shovits (which is not fun), so i would recomend the stiffest flex rating.but it carves like mad and is perfect flatland. do nor downhill with this board!!!!! even with gnarly trucks its extremely sketchy over 30 mph.
