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.
Liked my Rayne Supreme review? Thought there was something I could improve on? Comment if you have any suggestions or if there's anything else you'd like to know
