This is so awesome! Love to see smaller companies that are throwing their passion into their work getting some profile. And what a surprise and honour to see me and Whitetail featured on legendary Concrete Waves!!! Thank you for making my day!

[@concrete-waves]

Ayyy glad you like it mark! Love what you and sophia are doing so it's the least I could do. Much love bro 🙏😎

[@wingnut381]

Absolutely tons of value added from this video, loved it. I used to run a small garage type bespoke furniture making business and I love to support small workshops when I buy skate gear. Please make another of these. Over here in Europe Soulboardy are well worth checking out for surfskates and Fluide longskate make a beatifully crafted range of all kinds of longboards.

[@concrete-waves]

So stoked to hear this! Thanks for sharing Soulboardiy & fluide longskate. I have a soulboardiy and love it but havent' heard of fluide. I think I will make more of these vids that are more specific to each skate style

I have the "Viberide Brake Set" and it's attached to a Landyachtz Drop Hammer. I totally agree with you about the marketing of this company. Their boards and the brake set, which can be purchased separately, are made for beginners who never stepped on a Longboard before but would love to give it a try. They are definitely not made for professional downhill riders. They know how to stop and don't need a brake. Freeriders don't need it either nor do longboard dancers or LDP enthusiasts. People like me in the older range of longboard lovers can take advantage of it, although you could pretty much get the same effect with learning the foot brake but personally I'm only using this technique at lower speed. I took my Landyachtz on vacation with me, a couple of weeks ago and on my daily way to the beach the road is sometimes getting a bit too steep and fast for me. All the times before I had the brake on my board I often stepped off it and walked instead but this time I wasn't afraid to go all the way on my longboard. Hitting the brake pedal doesn't make you stop immediately but it helps to slow down and control the speed. The only issue I have with the brake set is the rattling noise they make. Viberide promised me to find a solution for it. Take a look at these two short videos on my channel if you like kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3ynn5p5aa1mZ68 and here kzbin.infodomxbFMH6LA

[@concrete-waves]

Awesome input Andreas, thanks for taking the time to share. Hopefully they'll get that rattling noise figured out soon 🙏 Nice vids by the way

[@mertgunyuz3406]

Your content helped me choose my first surfskate and also get back to something that I loved as a child but happened to forget in the daily life’s rush. Keep what you are doing up, it is awesome!

[@concrete-waves]

Let’s gooo!! Love to hear that 🙏 Welcome back

[@arax20]

I like this chatting kinda thing. I get the info I need and it feels cozy and it seems like it doesn't add unnecessary production value that doesn't make the video more useful but makes it more difficult to produce.

[@concrete-waves]

Good to know! I definitely want to experiment with more free flowing vids. The struggle is that I always want to make sure I'm getting to the point and not wasting anyones time. And i feel like when I just show up without anything written down, it can get verbose

[@reeceb1259]

I'd definitely be interested in a video from you on the VibeRide brakeboard

[@concrete-waves]

Cool i will most likely do one on it

[@reeceb1259]

Yeah those Flush Collection decks look dope

[@concrete-waves]

Right. It's been a long time coming. Hoping they release soon 🙏

[@goofyfootgreg]

*Awesome list, awesome video topic!* 🤟🏽👌🏽👌🏽🤟🏽 Enjoyed hearin your views/takes on these companies and what it means for riders.

Appreciate the support man 🙏

[@diegobojorquez8051]

Damn, those lander boards look sick af. Thanks for the heads up. It nice to know more brands other than landyachtz and loaded

[@concrete-waves]

Bro I love lander 🔥 Glad you found a new brand

[@skate-further]

Knew 4 of them, thanks for giving recommendations! Its always fun to discover new gear!

[@concrete-waves]

Awesome man thanks for watching/dropping a comment. I agree... always on the search for new brands/gear 🙌

[@icantsee0]

So sick🤙 I've heard of a few of these brands but always stoked to add more to the list, but alas shipping to Aus always costs more than whatever I'm buying 🙃

[@concrete-waves]

Awesome glad you enjoyed 😎 Ahhh ya international shipping can be steep

[@icantsee0]

@@concrete-waves totally, was considering to order some riser pads and bushings from a local US company, was about like 68 bucks, shipping was somehow 48 😂😂

[@concrete-waves]

Ahaha that's wild. A cheap solution is to find some local 3D printer and send them CAD files you find online @@icantsee0

Such a well made video! Love lander! Looking at getting the rio with the 85mm wheels like your board!

[@concrete-waves]

Cool! Thanks for the kind words :) Lander is sick

[@deviateboardco]

Hey Billy! Thank you for including us in this list of awesome brands! Great content and perspective, as always! Yew!

[@AshbalGabriel]

Great video topic and super interesting ! Ive been riding Sophie's WhaleShark (whitetail) board for over a year now, and im still absolutely in love with it ! 😍

[@patrickmetcalf3147]

Thank you for the shoutout and the support! It means more so much us and really helps small businesses !!!

@@concrete-waves Yes was watching first thing yesterday morning drinking coffee and almost spit it out hearing pats risers LOL. Youre doing great stuff here and on insta. Again thanks for the support

[@whitetailskateboards]

What a wonderful surprise to be alongside these amazing brands; it truly is an honor. Thank you, Billy! I love the format of your video-it’s both instructive and captivating to watch. Thanks for highlighting passionate builders, brands, and skaters like Mark, who often go unnoticed despite their significant contributions to the community. I’m already looking forward to your next video, your content feels sincere and refreshing. Thank you

[@concrete-waves]

Awesome thanks 🙂💙 I appreciate what you and mark are doing!

[@wingnut381]

Woke up and thought of two other companies that are worth consideration. Koastal longboards and Zenit longboards. I don’t know if it exists anywhere but it would be so helpful if there was a list somewhere of all longboard / Surfskate makers both big and small.

[@concrete-waves]

Awesome thanks! That's a great idea to make huge list of every brand

[@Mr7Niice]

Whitetail 🧡💚🧡. So inspiring how awesome these boards are made.

[@epszaw]

Hey Billy! It's worth to mention abianskateboards because they produce awesome boards and share the idea of sustainability and surfing aesthetic.

[@concrete-waves]

Ahhh great call thank you! I think I will make a more specific one for surfskates and include them 😎🙏

[@samsworld1770]

Maybe doing a first person POV format with a GoPro or something, (sort of like these videos that you see of people surfing, but, with a surfskate ! :) )

[@samsworld1770]

Love your videos by the way ! It's always nice to watch !!! The editing is on point, each time, your opinion is on point too, more or less each time !...You dress well, the background looks awesome with every video...i could keep going for minutes but to be quite frank : this channel is awesome ! ❤

[@concrete-waves]

Wow thanks for taking the time to give feedback. I really appreciate it Sam 🙏😎

[@theuzlivid]

I remember my first speed wobble. It really gets your heart racing😂😂

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

Share the info in the way that works best for you. A lot of times I don't make videos because of the final edit, or the setup or whatever. I allow the editing process or production to get in the way of what I am hoping to share. So if it is comfortable for you send it.

[@chris.goodhue]

I'd love to see one on the VibeRide board...

[@concrete-waves]

sweet i'll prob do one. thanks chris 🙏

[@emenefer]

Yeah I like this format. Wasn't aware of a handful of the companies mentioned. That Flush Collection- I didn't know they were going public soon. Super excited. I been following them for a while, just salivating over their decks. I usually don't like ordering skate stuff online, but I might have to break tradition for them.

[@concrete-waves]

Sweet glad you like it. Ya i'm pretty sure this spring they'll be selling decks!

[@mountainhobbit1971]

anyone know anything about Black longboards out of Arizona? I am really interested in their Samurai longboard. Looks to me like a 'freeride/ cruiser' long board combo. As an older 'newbie' (yet very familiar with snowboarding) I am really enjoying your channel.

[@concrete-waves]

I am not familiar with them but I just took a look at their site. Looks solid from what I can tell. I’m stoked to hear you dig the channel 🙏

[@mountainhobbit1971]

thank you, yeah, I am learning a lot. Thank you! @@concrete-waves

[@DannYIIF]

IMO the viberide is just too big of a money commitment to be a good beginner option. For the same money I could make a downhill setup better than the one I currently ride. It's a lot of money to dump into something you're not sure you'll enjoy.
