Live your legend

We are passionate about skateboarding and we know, once you get into the moment, the traditional 7-ply skateboards just don’t last as well, neither do their pop. So, VanHunks set out to create a board with more performance - something lighter and stronger. Something with more pop. So, we applied composite materials, using bamboo and maple to create the ultimate skateboard. VanHunks boards are uniquely made for better quality. Made from skate deck technologies and a lightweight vertically laminated core, you will surely escape into the ride of your life.

CARBON REINFORCED

Our boards are reinforced with carbon fibers to ensure a durable product whilst reducing the weight. Carbon fibre composite is commonly used when building satellites, planes, formula racing cars and high performance kite-boards.

ABS SIDE WALL

We use ABS-sidewall technology for the rails of our Twin-Tip boards. An ABS-sidewall allows a board to be more stable at speeds, have more pop and accelerate faster.

CHANNELS

Channels allow for more grip and control over the board at high-speed and during hard landing. Especially if the board is ridden without fins, channels still maintain the ability to ride upwind and control edging.

STANCE 51 / 55 / 59

The stance can be adjusted according to your preference. The stance width on a kiteboard has a huge impact on the characteristics of the board. A wide stance (59) allows the rider to apply their weight along the edge which drastically improves pop and landings. A narrow stance (51) will improve the board’s performance and upwind abilities of the board in light wind conditions.

3D BOTTOM

Each of our boards has their own unique 3D bottom design. Our boards offer all components of modern board-design: a solid rocker, concave and channels. The design elements are carefully balanced according to the desired performance.

BIAX GLASS

A combination of top quality Biax Glass fabrics with PVC layers on deck and bottom of the board strengthen the board and offer an excellent durability to weight ratio.


UV PROTECTED

Our boards are UV-protected to ensure the sun won’t break down the composites used in the construction of the board or fade the design.

T12 BOTTOM

The T12 bottom on our Twin-Tp boards reduces the scratch when riding over sand or rocks.

1.75 CM G10 FINS

The Vanhunks signature G10 fins are indestructible! The fins offer excellent control over the tips and radically increase the board’s upwind riding performance.

FUTURES FINS

We use Futures Fins (LINK: http://www.futuresfins.com/index.php) with all our Directional-, Surf- and SUP boards.

PAULOWNIA WOOD CORE

Paulownia wood is dimensionally very stable and is not subject to warping, cupping or splitting, even when exposed to outdoor elements. It also has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any wood, which makes it the perfect core for our boards.

TIP 2 TIP FLEX TECHNOLOGY

Our Flex2Flex Technology creates a dynamic ride that responds accordingly to different riding environments.

CROSS FLEX

Our Cross-Flex Technology defines a smooth flex throughout the whole board from tip to tip as well as from rail to rail.


technology SINGLE CONCAVE

The single concave increases the stability of the board, making it easy to edge and thus promoting upwind performance. A smoother ride will increase the board’s speed and maintain consistent edge control.

SINGLE 2 DOUBLE CONCAVE

The single to double concave utilises the strengths of each concave design. A single concave upfront provides a good planing surface for drive and the double concave in the rear loosens up the board. The double concave will actually channel the water into two streams through the fins and out the tail. Smooth edge to edge transitioning adds fluidity to wave riding.

SHALLOW SINGLE CONCAVE

A shallow concave allows the board to maintain the features of our single concave, best possible upwind performance and edge control in a variety of conditions.

SWALLOW TAIL

Boards with a swallow or fish tail are generally used in smaller waves and offer great drive, control and speed. Our swallow tail offers the ultimate surf feel.

ROUND TAIL

The increased surface area of the round tail gives the board more lift in the rear and allows for a looser, more turnable board.

SQUASH TAIL

The squash tail is the most common tail shape on modern surfboards. The design allows for a stable board, and a maneuverable ride, suitable for both small and overhead waves.


EPS-FOAM CONSTRUCTION

This is lightweight beaded foam is used in the production of epoxy surfboards. We use only the best EPS density foam for the core of our boards. The EPS foam is wrapped in an epoxy sandwich construction.

THRUSTER FIN SETUP

The thruster setup is versatile and strong in a wide range of conditions. It combines stability, drive and maneuverability and has been one of the favorite fin setups of the past quarter century.

TWIN FIN SETUP

Twin fins offer a maneuverable and fast ride. Their quickness and ability to make sharp turns makes them a great choice for small wave and choppy conditions.

QUAD FIN SETUP

The quad fin setup makes for more drive through turns and increased speed down the line. It allows for a powerful rail to rail riding at high speeds.

EPOXY RESIN GLASSING

We use the best epoxy resin for our sandwich constructions. Epoxy constructions stand for durability, low porosity and strong bond strength.

technology


DROP DECK

The drop-deck ensures a stable deck and maximum control at high speeds. A must-have for steep downhill riding or races. The drop-deck is designed for high speeds, downhilling, carving and also cruising. This drop-down is solid with its hard Canadian Maple 10 plies and can hold weights up to 320 LBs. The deck sits lower to the ground for more control and stability.

TRUCK: 7’ REVERSIBLE TRUCK

The reversible trucks allow you to reverse the kingpin if you like the feel of it. The reverse kingpin is designed to allow for more carving and “turn-ability”. Your reverse kingpin trucks will allow you to turn smoothly and effortlessly whether they’re standard or reverse kingpin.

WHEEL: SHR 78A 69 X 55MM PU WHEEL

We use SHR 78A wheels on all our boards. Great durability and low traction for maximum speed and an endless glide.

What does 78A mean?Skateboard wheels come in a variety of colours, sizes and degrees of hardness. Skateboard wheels have two stats:

• Diameter, which means how tall the wheel is. This is measured in millimetres (mm) for skateboard wheels. The larger the wheel, the faster the skate, due to reduced rolling resistance. Wheels in the 72-mm to 80-mm range are just right for recreational and fitness skating. They provide good maneuverability and speed for skating longer distances on trails.

• Durometer, which means how hard the wheels are. Most skateboard wheels use what’s called the “a-scale”, the higher the number, the harder the wheel. For example, you’ll see the hardness of the wheels written “a95” for an average street skateboarding wheel. Softer wheels can be all the way down to a70, or even lower.The larger the wheel, the faster you skate due to reduced rolling resistance. Wheels in the 72-mm to 80-mm range are just right for recreational and fitness skating. They provide good maneuverability and speed for skating longer distances on trails.

BEARING: ABEC 5 CHROME

At the core of our boards, we use ABEC5 Chrome Swiss Bearings. These bearings offer a long-lasting glide and speed. ABEC (Annular Bearing Engineers’ Committee), which is the American method for rating the accuracy and tolerance of bearings.So what does it mean? Bearing are used for all kinds of things, not just skateboard wheels. The higher an ABEC rating, the more accurate and precise the bearing is.


CUSHION: SUPER HIGH REBOUND 82A

Used for the best balance between control , performance and comfort.

7 PLY & 10 PLY CONSTRUCTIONS

Vanhunks decks are available in 7 and 10-ply construction. You can choose whether you prefer a light-weight or ultra durable board. Our decks are formed using a ply construction, where veneers are layered on top of one another. To start, the veneers are stacked on top of one another with the grains running lengthwise. A few of the veneers are turned so that the grains run widthwise, a technique known as cross-beaming, to add strength across the board. They are glued into place before going under the hydraulic press to be formed. The pressure from the press structures the layers of maple sheets into a single, dense strip with an upturned nose and tail and a concave center.

CONCAVE

The deck is shaped with a single concave for increased control throughout your ride.Vanhunks longboards are designed for cruising and downhill madness and have the perfect concave to control your board. The depth of the curve is important for mastering tricks and a deeper curve allows for more precision tricks.

DROP-THROUGH AT THE FRONT

The front drop-through truck increases the stability of your board on fast rides. It ensures a great control over your board in even the sharpest turns.

A lower center of gravity makes these longer boards more stable and easier to push. The flex of these boards also acts as a dampening system to help avoid discomfort on longer rides.
