Newsflash

Not all skate shirts are black!   Check out the Silverfish Gear Page .  There are new men's, women's and kids' shirts!  (Some are even black.)

 

 We're using "spreadshirt", so you order straight from them.  Dig through the listings and you'll find some classic 'Fish designs, including shirts with art taken from member Ryan's art-pen drawings.  Check back for new designs, as we prepare to release the Fall Line (soon as Armani signs off...)

Kahalani trucks were originally designed by Dan Åhlström (Kahalani boards), in 2001. The trucks are produced in Sweden with the goal to make a low, light, and stable precision truck that also had great turning ability. The truck was designed to master the most technical race courses and the highest speeds. In both 2002 and 2003, the truck was race-tested at the legendary Hot Heels World Championships in Kaunertal, Austria.

The Kahalani truck has been designed to suit every rider’s needs. Whether you are an experienced extreme downhill skateboarder, a city cruiser or just a beginner – the Kahalani truck should be your choice.

The “wear and tear parts” of the Kahalani trucks fit normal skateboard standards – meaning you will not have to look further than to your local skate shop for any spare parts you might need.

This truck has evolved my riding skills to the max. They are forgiving at the same time as the learn you to handle your board at high speeds.
Turny and "cruisy" if you want them to!

A Kick ass truck!

They are sweet.
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: About 5 months
What Setup are you running them on?: At the moment topmounted on a Chicago Longboards Double-D with Pink Gumballs. Bushings in front are 86a Reflex thane barrels a la Karrot and red Khiro Barrels in back.
Typical Discepline?: Downhill
How much did you pay for them?: about $300 shipped
Where did you buy them?: www.Kahalani.se
What are their weaknesses?: They tend to get a little nicked since they are so light, but then again I don't baby them. They are meant to be ridden hard.
What are their strengths?: They are a great design. Simple yet effective. They turn great, have nice lean, and are still stable when you want them to be. I love everything about them.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: I have ridden Crails for a very long time, and these are like a precision version of them. They are great. I have also ridden Maguns, JimZ 200s, and Smokey 174s.
Would you recommend them?: Yes
Was this review helpful to you? yes     no
