The Tiki Volcano is an inspiration from our travels to the greatest locations on earth. Polynesia encompasses a huge triangular area of the east-central Pacific Ocean. The triangle has its apex at the Hawaiian Islands in the north and its base angles at New Zealand (Aotearoa) in the west and Easter Island (Rapa Nui) in the east. We love to travel and create products that remind us of the our mantra "Livin' Life"
The Tiki Volcano and the Swell Brand is created from years of riding the streets of Santa Barbara. It all started in a garage and has now come to life for others to enjoy.
TIKI VOLCANO
- DECK- Black with Tiki Volcano design on the bottom
- TRUCKS- Black base and hanger
- WHEELS-Lava with sanded finish
- BEARINGS-Cosmic Blue ABEC 7 with high speed oil
- BUSHINGS- Lava
- BOLTS- Cosmic Blue
THE DECK: We start off with a high strength Polymer that has just enough Flexibility but not too much to so it will handle the daily use. It has a waffle non slip surface that never wears out. We remove the shine for a more matte finish look for an amazing appearance.
THE TRUCKS: are created out a the strongest 356 cast aluminum. We then take the trucks and color powder coat then for a durable long lasting finish.
THE WHEELS: are polyurethane wheels that are slightly larger than your typical 22" board so you can get over those small imperfections in the road. Size-59mm Softness-83A
THE BEARINGS: are one of our favorite part of the board. It may not seem like much, but the bearings are the heartbeat of the board. Having bad bearings is like putting bad gas in your car... it just doesn't run as good. Our bearings are Stainless Steel ABEC 7 the industries highest rating. We take these ABEC 7 bearings and pack them with high speed bearing oil for not only a smooth ride, but it will last through those dusty roads or even when you leave it on the lawn and the sprinklers hit it.
THE BUSHINGS: have a Durometer reading of 87a. That is a perfect amount of stiffness for those long fast downhill straightaways and yet soft enough to make some nice wave like turns.
THE BOLTS: are created from high tensile strength steel then painted to create a great color feature on your board. You wont need to worry about these bolts as we have made sure every part is perfect down to the last bolt.
