Sector 9 Nicaragua

The Sector 9 Nicaragua Longboard, is actually the same as the 2010 Sector 9 El Azteca model with a new paint job. This board is made with 4 plys of hardrock maple and 2 plys of fiberglass which gives it a lot of flex and durability for amazing flowing carves that can only be matched by the waves themselves. The Nicaragua also comes with a kicktail which makes for easier kickturns and more control on tighter turns and carves.

The Nicaragua comes with Gullwing mission 9 inch trucks, BON 65mm wheels, and rush abec 5 bearings. The gullwing missions are actually quite an exceptional truck for both cruising and carving, however if you have the extra money and truly enjoy that surfing feeling then I suggest getting the gullwing sidewinders. Also, the BON wheels could be switched out with a larger wheel if you like smoother and wider turning carves or a smaller and maybe even grippier wheel for tighter turning carves and more control in ubran short spaced urban areas. As always I highly recommend upgrading the rush abec 5′s to at least bones reds, you can never argue with more speed, longer coasting times, and longer bearing life, in the long run it’ll end up saving you more money simply because bones offer such a durable bearing. If there are any other questions you may have on the Nicaragua then feel free to comment.
