Lush Samba longboards are a modern day classic street surfing long board with a cult following. What a status for any Longboard but even better than this it’s British. Created in the heart of Industrial England by a dedicated band of Longboarders headed during it’s creation by Chris. (You can view them in our online store.) This board has no competitors when it comes to lazy hill carving at this price. Constructed from premium Maple, so it provides just the right amount of flex to provide an amazing ride to any Longboarder.

In standard trim is fine for most occasions but explore the depths of the Samba deck, experiment with different Longboard Trucks, Wheel and Bearings and it becomes an iconic long board. This web page is about taking decks to the next leval.

Picture above: Set up for Giant Slalom, fast, stable but still carves great.

Picured left with Dave, this one has been upgraded with Holey Trucks, providing more response back to the "neutral point" so great for higher speeds and steeper hills or heavier riders. Below is the standard set up, awsome for lighter riders and very nimble on the turns.

From day one these Lush Longboards where designed to “Surf the Road” but any owner who has one in standard trim, ie Seismic Custom Trucks and Avalanche 70mm Wheels will know that the nose turns in fast, sometimes a little to fast and at speed this means you become a passenger as the wheels can just let go if pushed to hard.

Buy Holey be happy and carve hard.

Fit Gullwing Trucks, Biltin Bearings and the world famous Seismic Wheels to your Samba's and you turn your mellow laid back deck into a real ballistic hill killer of a Longboard...NOT for the faint hearted..!!

Decks ONLY - If you only want a Deck on it's own please read this.

Many skateboard shops and stores will tell you that if you want a deck only you must buy complete longboards, simply that is rubbish. The deck can be sold as deck only and postage FREE within the UK mainland. BUT and this is a big BUT: the deck was designed to be a real street carver so to get the best from the deck it is best to use good quality carving longboard truck. We have spent several years testing the Samba deck with every conceivable longboard truck combination, if you are not sure or just want to chat about our test results please call 01326 317977. OR email:sales@apollo11shop.co.uk

On going deck projects will be available online very soon. We have just listed some of these great tests below, to say it has been great fun with our test decks would be an understatement.

 Downhill Speed conversion for lighter riders!! This was great and it was wet...What a scream!

Lush Cult Wheels, these are a very good wheel but we feel that they are to much money for what they provide. (SRP £50+) If you pick up a set of these Cult wheels for around £43-"£46 then they are good value for money, great grip and fast but against the Seismic Speed Vent or ABEC 11 Flywheel they are just no match.
