The Wolfshark is back! Released for the first time in 2011, with 6+ versions produced until 2016, the Wolfshark was a staple for many years in the Landyachtz downhill/freeride segment of our lineup. Designed by long-time team rider Wolfgang Coleman, the Wolfshark was used as a platform to progress concave design in new and innovative ways. With well over 20,000 decks sold worldwide over the years, the Wolfshark has become a fan favorite with a tight following.
With the standing platform between 8-8.5” wide, and the wheelbase ranging from 21-24” with two close options in the front for dialing in your front foot position relative to the radial/wheel flare concave and three more spaced-out options in the rear, we believe that these wheelbase options will cater to the needs of both modern downhill wheelbase spec and longer, more freeride-based wheelbase setups.
We want to thank everyone for loving the Wolfshark over the years and for all the stoke and support you have given! Without all of you, the Wolfshark would not have had such a long run! Stoked to have it back for another go.
FLEX RATING
Flex has a big impact on the overall feel of your board and is influenced by a bunch of different factors. The main ones being thickness of the deck, it's wheelbase and rider weight. To put the equation in laymans terms: more flex occurs when you decrease thickness of the deck, increase the wheelbase and increase rider weight. The more flex in your board the more carvy and agile it'll feel, less flex means it's more stable and suited for faster skating. We test every complete with a device we built in house, specifically to standardize flex ratings.

We design our trucks and wheels to fit perfectly with each individual deck.
We work tirelessly to ensure these elements come together to provide the best control and performance for your board.
No slop, all control. Don’t accept anything less than the perfect complete.

Brand Story
Founded in 1997 in the basement of the Blackcomb Ski Club cabin by Tom Edstrand and Mike Perreten to provide a better way to get around campus, Landyachtz is a global leader in skateboard design and development. We believe in making quality skateboards that will improve your life. What started in a small basement has now grown to include a warehouse/head office in the East Vancouver neighbourhood of Strathcona with a retail store around the corner along a main bike route at 1146 Union St, shipping facilities in both East Vancouver and Los Angeles, and a small manufacturing facility in the Kootenay town of Kimberley, B.C. Today, Landyachtz has a global presence and has built strong relationships with important partners all over the world.
Landyachtz has always been focused on quality product innovation. Designing the best boards possible and developing the technology to do so has always been our focus. With co-founder Tom Edstrand being 2005 world champion, racing heavily influenced our early board designs and provided a great way for us to test new technologies. Landyachtz pioneered the drop foot platform, a design that remained synonymous with downhill for many years. The most famous drop-style downhill board in our lineup, the Evo, still holds the record for most world championship wins today. Boards aren't the only thing we developed though, Bear Trucks and Hawgs Wheels grew out of a need to pair our race decks with the best trucks and wheels we could. That's what our in-house engineers still do every day, constantly trying to refine our trucks and wheels so that they can be the best the industry can offer. As we developed technology for our race boards, we took what we learned there and applied it to the rest of our lineup to make our everyday boards as stable, fun, and functional as we could.
Community involvement has always been a core principle for us here at Landyachtz, our early years wouldn't have been possible without the Coast Longboarding community and its members. It's for this reason that we try to help grow communities everywhere we can. We've sponsored events around the globe, from races in Europe, to events in our own backyard like the legendary Attack of Danger Bay, and Giant's Head Freeride here in B.C.
