Sector 9 Merchant Trader 38" Pintail Longboard

There’s nothing like the feeling of the wind blasting through your hair as you carve down to the beach—and the Sector 9 Merchant Trader 38" Pintail Longboard is made to chase that kind of escape. That flowing, sun-soaked freedom you feel when every turn is smooth and unhurried is exactly what this board invites you into, letting your ride feel less like getting somewhere and more like getting away. The feeling of pure escape as the wind hits your face and every carve melts stress away.

It’s easy to picture the scene: quiet roads, no interruptions, just you and the pavement. That rare, peaceful sense of having the world to yourself—free from emails, work, tourists, and obligations—hits harder when your setup feels effortless underfoot. This board brings that reflective, getaway energy to everyday sessions, so your cruising and carving can feel like a reset. That rare moment where the world goes quiet and riding becomes your reset.

The Merchant Trader comes from Sector 9’s Tropic Teak Collection, and the details make you want to lean in a little closer. Curious what stands out first? The exposed teak wood on the bottom pairs with colorful island graphics, giving it a look that feels like it belongs somewhere warm and open. Add die-cut grip tape with an exposed colored top ply, and you get both style and a deck surface that’s ready for regular rides.

Wondering how it performs when you’re actually rolling? Its pintail shape and carving-focused setup are built around smooth cruising, while the Sidewinder II trucks and 69mm Nineballs are made to keep turns lively and the ride comfortable. It’s also listed for commuter use, so it’s not just about weekend coasts—it’s a board you can keep in your routine.
