Rayne Supreme review

This is the last of my Rayne Longboards collection, and probably my favorite of the bunch. They all hold a special place in my heart but this board has something the others don't, versatility from the slight double kicktails. When you set this board on the shortest wheelbase it becomes a double kicktailed slab of freeriding/freestyle awesomeness. It also has a 3d concave that creates pockets and gas pedals AND has a 3 stage rocker that sets it lower to the ground making it easier to push, slide and spin, all while keeping the feel of a traditional top mount. I've never felt anything quite like it.
  These boards can take a thrashing too, I've had my others Raynes for a good 2 or so years and have been nothing short of ridiculously abusive with them. I'm constantly trying new things and get hurt and lose a lot of boards in the process, but all of my Rayne longboards have held up through the beatings, the slips, and the slams. The pre-tensioned fiberglass and orange and beeswax finish are what contribute to this amazing durability. A lot don't know about the Rayne supreme's awesome finish but I've become a little eager during the colder, rainy weather and have taken this out rain skating, and while I do take precaution by greasing everything and putting a lacquer over the top the finish repels water and ultimately kept my board from warping, and I've done this way more than once. Again, if you want something that you can freeride, downhill, AND freestyle with, pick up the supreme.

Rayne Hellcat review

The Rayne hellcat longboard is the perfect DH/ freeriding combo. It has a directional shape which may be a little awkward at first for freeriding but you get used to it pretty fast. The Hellcat feels a lot like the Demonseed and the Avenger had a baby without a drop, haha. But it's pleasure dome arch support creates an awesome  reference point for your foot to go to when you're coming out of a tuck and prepping for a slide or vice versa.

 One of the biggest perks of the Hellcat is its versatility, it can be dropped through or easily top mounted, just another way to change up your ride if you want to. The Hellcat also comes with a pretty mean leveraging concave so you don't slip out on those sharp turns, and even has sharp edges so your feet don't slide off. Also, the hellcat is super durable with a veritcal laminated bamboo core and pre-tensioned fibreglass, nothing's going to happen to this board as long as you take good care of it and don't try wakeboarding with it or throwing it under cars. In fact, this is the same with all Rayne Longboards. Tell me what you think of this Rayne Hellcat Review and if you have any questions or suggestions, comment!

Rayne Demonseed review

The Rayne Demonseed is all around great board, I've used this for everything from long distance pushing, to downhill racing. It's an amazing board not only because of the double drop which makes pushing and sliding a breeze but because it can hold up to whatever you throw at it, I've curbed it soooooo many times, Lost it into the sides of huge rock walls, had it tossed straight into a pond, and more. Maybe it's because of the sublimated graphic and orange finish (meaning the graphic is tattooed into the board) but I've absolutely thrashed this poor thing and it just keeps going and still looks great! I mean, for 300+ dollars it should, haha.

 That being said these boards ARE expensive but Rayne Longboards puts out real quality longboards . Hearing the word quality these days it kind of just gets thrown around but I really mean it with these boards, they're downright amazing in every way. The only complaint I had at first was the concave was too deep, but it's not uncomfortable I was just never used to having my foot that conformed to the board compared to my Loaded Bhangra. Did it ever save my rear on more than one occasion though. There have been quite a few slides I've just barely gotten away with simply because of the extra leverage from the Rayne's awesome concave. I recommend this board over every other Rayne board just because it's THAT good, I absolutely love my Demonseed and it would take a pretty hefty offer to get me to trade mine.

Rayne Hustler longboard review

  While I wouldn't use my Rayne hustler for more than riding around town or carving down the hills. It IS capable of sliding, there are just much more ideal boards. I learned my first dancing steps on this board, but it's not really a dancing board either. The absolute best thing about this board at least in my eyes, is the finish. I've ended riding this poor guy through some pretty rough weather (for about 4-5 hours at a time, it's a long story) and while I did wrap it in a towel as soon as I got inside and soaked my bearings, but I feel if it weren't for the bee orange finish it would have warped, but still rides fine to this day. I don't use it all that much anymore because I hit a lot of hills in my new town and need something a little more stable.
   For carving around 25-35 and pushing through the city this baby is gold. In fact, pushing around on this is nearly effortless, and is one of the smoothest riding boards I've ever ridden, but unfortunately my cruddy town has way too many hills and kind of ruins my experience with this board. If you do a lot of city riding and don't care much for doing any freestyle or sliding then hop on this board right away. You'll likely never need another cruiser again unless it gets shot under a car or something. Rayne longboards are ridiculously durable even if you thrash the crap out of them and ride them through the dookest of weather, they'll assuredly outlast your trucks, wheels, and bearings, even if you're not taking care of it. And if you are, all the better.

Please tell me if you thought my Rayne Hustler review was helpful though and leave a comment if you have any questions or suggestions!

Rayne Avenger longboard review

 The Rayne avenger longboard is superb for both downhill and freeriding. While it does have a directional feel, I've ridden my fair share of both directional and directional boards and while a directional board may feel kind of odd riding the other way, you get used to it and definitely shouldn't change your opinion of this amazing board.

   I feel the best part of this board is the pleasure dome arch support/W concave. It really help when you're hitting those big hills and need to get into position for tucking, or prepping for a slide but can't afford to look, because it gives a great reference point and when you're needing to take to the corners it conforms to your foot so the board feels almost like an extension of your body. Also, the concave while it does sound cliche really locks you in and I have yet to slip off this beast of a board. The only other thing I can think of is it's amazing wheel wells that allow me to run my Durians and Bigzigs even with 44 degree trucks. I love my Avenger and  still come back to it every now and again to hit the hills. Tell me what you thought about my Rayne Avenger longboard review I've done on this site and you should let me know if it was helpful or not, please leave a comment on anything else you'd like to know!

Rayne Rival

 The Rayne Rival being the slightly shorter version of the supreme comes with just as many features. The sharp edges, and mean cave for almost a binding like feel that's made in such way that it provides pockets and gas pedals. Also, for both the Rival and Supreme, it has multiple wheelbases and the shorter one provides 2 small kicktails for doing some freestyle if you get tired of just cruising around town or hardcore bombing hills. There's no doubt Rayne Longboards puts a lot of work into their boards and you can tell just by picking up one of their boards. Of all of the longboards in the shop, quality, and aesthetic wise Rayne longboards is the top of the line.

Rayne supreme longboard

 
  Rayne Longboards really did something that most other board companies have never done. That's look at their boards and actually be baffled at all the new dimensions, concaves, amazing tatooed artworks, and oddly effective (while discreet) gas pedals. These boards are really crazy! They have super sharp edges for not only a clean look but once gripped really helps keep your feet locked in, rounded edges can make things slippery.  A 3 stage rocker for a low feel even though it's top mounted, essentially giving you the stability benefits of a drop through without giving up the traction of a top mount. Rad 3-d concave that makes sure you won't be going anywhere if you don't want to while providing gas pedals AND pockets. The Rayne supreme complete longboard is really a true piece of work. Before Rayne I've never seen so much done with a board, while they're a tad pricy any of their boards are MORE than worth your money.
