The very long wheelbase (both versions) gives the Axis high stability at speed. The drop-through design makes it ride low to the ground, which makes pushing for long durations a lot more comfortable. This board is designed for easy cruising, long distance commuting, and fast freeriding. This is a solid deck with 8-ply maple construction, which makes it stiffer and thus more stable at speed. It’s a classic full symmetrical freeride shape with large wheel cutouts and sidecuts for added responsiveness and carving ability. The Axis is Arbor’s flagship snowboard-inspired drop-through longboard. Whether you opt for the 34″ or 39″ depends your focus: street tricks, park, and downhill, vs fast freeriding and sliding + intense city slashing. The 180mm RKP trucks and large and soft 69mm wheels also make the Axel Serrat 39 a nice and pleasant cruiser for riding distance on flats in the city. The pronounced dual kicks and mellow concave are also great for switch riding, sliding, and freestyle flip tricks The 39″ version of the Axel Serrat offers a long (adjustable) wheelbase, giving it great stability at speed for freeriding. The relatively long wheelbase and short street trucks also make it a very capable board for downhill speed. The shorter version is particularly well-suited for street riding and skatepark due to its massive kicks, 169mm street trucks, and smaller 58mm wheels suitable for tricks. The Axel Serrat is a symmetrical dual kick hybrid also designed for multiple riding styles. The large and soft 65mm Easy Rider Mosh wheels will comfortably roll over anything, and provide good grip in tight carves. The Zeppelin comes with full-size 180mm Paris longboard trucks that give this board a very smooth ride and sweet responsive turns. The concave and low ride also give you the confidence to break into slides. The deck has a medium concave giving you good but not excessive foot lock-in for fast freeriding and hard carving. The drop-through design also makes the Zeppelin low riding, adding to the stability and resulting in effortless pushing. Like most drop-throughs, this longboard has a pretty long wheelbase (23″) resulting in great stability at speed and when carving down hills. The 32″ x 8.75″ Zeppelin is a midsize drop-through carving longboard with a directional cutout shape – it’s almost symmetrical but not quite as the outline gets slightly wider towards the nose (which is slightly pointier than the tail).
