**savage2424** · 01-10-2008 03:19 PM

is there anywhere in the US (online or shop) that sells Kahalani trucks? there was a thread about this a while back but it never got answered...anyone know? and I have been to the kahalani site and see nothin, if no one can answer me here then i'm gonna e-mail them, but it never hurts to ask here

only one dee-lite, and yes i got smokies, but i'm just trying to figure it out cause in the future they look like trucks i might be interested in getting, and even if i don't want them then i would at least like to know where just for shits and giggles.

and ton...really? that blows

There's a guy here on the Fish selling a few Kahalanis from Canada. His sn is "stuff".

Yep, PM stuff: http://www.silverfishlongboarding.co...ers/stuff.html. He's started a little business and will ship Kahalani's to mostly anywhere I believe.

ya i know that, i'm just trying to figure out if there is anyone in the US, but you are definitely on my short list of people/places with kaha's (you are actually 1/1). and just a quick question, is pipelinesurfco (is that right?) yours?

**Purdez** · 01-10-2008 11:30 PM

they're so expensive, costs 270 USD without shipping from sweden

Piplelines is the buisness i work for, its just me and the owner there, i brought these in seperately over the winter, there being done through me untill spring time, when they will be brought in through the shop. for complicated reasons I have them instead for now....

ah ok, price inflation once the store buys them? or what? and i ask that because i remember a thread a while back about you selling all your stuff cause you were starting a business, how did that turn out?

actually they are $299 from Sweden, and shipping turns out to be quiet a bit usually after customs charges.

if you think about it.
Kahalanis are made in small quantitys with high quality = more expencive
other trucks are made in Very large quantitys and arent anywhere near the quality = Very cheap

"high end" longboard stuff is actually cheap, look at prices for good, not even high end snowboard gear and youll see how longboard stuff is actualy cheap.

Other reasons, the trucks will be the same price assuming the price from Kahalanis and exchange rates stay somewhat the same when they're sold through Pipeline.

Honestly finishing School up had been more important to me at this time working on my own buisness comes after i catch up on schooling.

ok, sounds good. you'll be getting a PM from me when the urge to buy kahas takes over. (won't be for quite some time) but thank you, and good luck with your business and school

so just to get an idea, How much are you selling them...in CDN dollars?

$320 plus shipping

**LandsurferBob** · 01-11-2008 02:08 AM

They're not worth all that money IMO.

AJ · 01-11-2008 02:42 AM

they are normal trucks with faced hangers and 8mm axles.

Dewedged Indy 215s with 8mm axles and faced hangers would probably perform just as well...

Randal R-II 180's modded the same way would too.

I emailed Dan from Kahalani and he is coming to New York city in a week or 2 to visit his mum and he bringing a set of trucks for me. If you wanted you could shoot him an email and ask him to shuip the trucks to you while he is in the states.
