The Never Summer Heist longboard skateboard is an amazing carving machine. The twin tip drop through setup makes the Heist perfect for cruising to the beach or through campus. But that's not all! The Heist is great for hills, too! One of its better features is that it is constructed with light weight durable materials. It's definitely made to be jumped on. So don't be afraid of doing a back flip over some stairs. (With a helmet of course!) You should try some reverse kingpin longboard trucks like 180mm Randal RII's, Paris 180's, or Bear Grizzly 852's all with softer Khiro Double Barrel or Venom DH Barrel longboard bushings. There are a lot of good longboard wheels out there, so choose the right one for what you want to do with this deck. To throw slides, grab some 70-75mm Orangatang Freerides or for speed slip on some larger Retro Big Zigs longboard wheels and you are set!
We recommend Classic Flex for riders UNDER 150 lbs
We recommend Power Flex for riders OVER 150 lbs
(For those of you at the 150 lb. mark exactly... Get a Power!)
Most flexible boards soften a bit over time. The Never Summer longboard decks tends not to soften up very much. That's because of the good solid construction!
For better performance and control for your longboard skateboard, we suggests Khiro & Venom Longboard Bushings:
50-100lbs 73-80a Durometer
75-125lbs 78-82a Durometer
100-145lbs 80-85a Durometer
125-175lbs 80-87a Durometer
145-195lbs 82-90a Durometer
175-220lbs 85-93a Durometer
200-250lbs 90-93a Duromter
225lbs+ 90-97a Durometer
The Heist is a 41" drop-thru flex deck which preloaded with tons of camber and a little more concave than other flex decks. Very lively and responsive yet not overpowering, this is the elite in flex decks at an affordable price.
The all new Powerflex differs from the standard flex in that Never Summer added a 5th ply which is slightly thicker than the original 4 plys. This change allows more powerful riders 155+ to enjoy the Heist. A lighter rider would enjoy the Powerflex if their main goal is riding at higher speeds on hills. The Powerflex will allow a much more stable ride in deep carve and straight bombs as well. "You deserve it!!" Tell you Mom that Muir Skate said so. Do good in school Kids.
41"x9" wheel base: 34.5"
Never Summer offers a 3 Year Warranty on the construction of all decks.
