Product Description
The Phoenix is made for speed and the smoothest ride possible.
We designed it together with the 2017 Junior European champion Tristan Cardillo and built it with our new Naturalite construction. Despite being super light, it is one of the most vibration-absorbent boards on the market. This makes it easier to grip the perfect line through corners.
The board features a unique 2-step drop profile. Behind the front foot starts a second drop which creates two w-concave pockets to lock in your back foot. It’s difficult to explain but feels great under your feet.
Thanks to the combination of wheel flairs and CNC’d wheel wells, this board has a great wheel clearance to rock some big race wheels even on narrow trucks. Various wheelbase options give you maximum freedom to dial in your setup.

Rocket Phoenix Cardillo Pro 32.9" Downhill/Freeride Longboard Deck - Key Questions Answered
Is this deck a good choice for downhill and freeride, or is it more of a casual cruiser?
It’s built for downhill and freeride first, with a stiff maple layup and a compact 32.9" shape. That means a more locked-in, precise feel when speed and slide control matter most.
What should I expect from the ride feel at speed?
Expect a firm, direct platform with little flex and strong feedback underfoot. That helps the board stay composed when you’re setting a line, checking speed, or practicing slides.
Would this work for a newer rider, or is it really aimed at advanced skaters?
It’s better suited to riders who already know downhill or freeride basics. The responsive, stiff feel rewards control and experience more than relaxed cruising or first-time learning.
How does the 32.9" size affect stability and portability?
The shorter length makes it easier to move around than a longer downhill deck, while still staying stable enough for fast freeride lines. It’s a good middle ground if you want a smaller board without giving up composure.
How is this different from a more flexible or surfier longboard deck?
This deck is more precise and less forgiving than a flexy board, which is what many riders want for downhill control. If you want predictable response over a loose, cruising feel, this shape fits better.

Skater since 1974, pool pipe and skatepark, I've ridden it all but these Carver C7 trucks were a revelation. Best for slow speed styling and generally hanging some art on mellow terrain.
Definitely a kick and worth trying.

I am loving this board so far! I reached out to LBUSA to get some help finding the right board for me. They were more than helpful and the process of getting help, ordering the board, and then delivery was flawless. I am excited with my purchase and am thrilled with the customer service along the way. Top notch!

Well built and super fun to skate on. Wheels work well on imperfect pavement and sidewalk cracks. Bearings are legit.

Kiddo got this board for Christmas, for us to ride on Route 66. Board is good quality. No name trucks, but they function well for her. She likes the Punked Speed Series wheels. We did put reds super bearings in it. The factory bearings do not roll near as well. For the price, for a complete, it is well worth it. This is our second Punked Longboard, and both have served their purpose. I would buy from this company, and Vendor again, without question.

Trippy assym setup with Rogue ZM1's and assorted wheels really rips for downhill! I also hope to run cones with it soon.
