The 61mm 80a Butterballs offer the same shred-able formula that's become a fan favorite for so many riders over the years, but in a more compact package. The new 61mm size is now an ideal fit on your double kick, and perfect for just about any freeride situation. While it's the same urethane formula and Durometer as our 65mm and 70mm wheels, you might find a little better control and responsiveness with this smaller version of the Butterball.

Sector 9 has decided to partner on a new artistic collaboration in the Bamboo Series with French artist, The Minimalist Wave. Following a ritual process, he obsesses over the patterns of a wave crossing the planet, as it evolves constantly with new journeys and intersections. The pen and ink drawings are an invitation to find yourself in the heart of the ocean, to get lost and to discover imaginary worlds. The simple, minimalist illustrations provide a stark contrast to the Bamboo, creating beautiful decks worthy of hanging in a gallery just as much as they are riding to the beach.

Follow along with 9 Ball Crew rider Levi Hawken on his journey of becoming a viral meme and how skateboarding kept him rolling on a positive path.
"The ‘Nek Minnit’ guy confronts the meme that defined him. Get ready to challenge your own perceptions of virality. The man who became a meme, Levi Hawken, recalls his joke that birthed a viral catchphrase. Living with a rare genetic condition which affects his appearance and turned him into an internet caricature, Levi defines the price of our fame based society. Blurring the line between internet icon, skateboarding legend and talented artist, he discovers all is connected and fate is often as simple as being careful what you wish for." - Loading Docs

At some point in time we've all had it, that overwhelming urge to SMASH IT, whatever "IT" may be. The feeling comes from deep within, and it’s aggressively raw. At Sector 9, we are embracing the feeling of flying down a hill, hitting the pool coping or slashing a driveway bank, and incorporating that feeling into our daily mantra. We aren’t going to stop there either. SMASH IT is also about bringing awareness to things beyond just skateboarding, like the fight against cancer, environmental responsibility and community engagement. We believe that SMASH IT is just as much about helping those around you, as it is bettering yourself. It's time to get motivated. It’s time to SMASH IT!

The On the Hunt Cruiser Series is all about that search for the best line of attack on whatever terrain you’re looking to slay.
STALKER RASTA NATIVE: The predator silently stalks their prey… or should we say picks their line down alley full of embankments, trashcans, rocks, debris and stray cats. The Stalker Rasta Native features a mellow concave and kicktail for easy shredding, making for a quick strike no matter where you want to skate.
AMBUSH WOODSHED: Soaring down the street, you spot it… the unsuspecting prey, perfect for your next attack. You fly closer and hit it effortlessly, a perfectly evolved hunter crushing every driveway bank, hedge barrel and Jersey Barrier in your path. The Ambush Woodshed features a double kick, and slightly longer deck and wheelbase than your typical popsicle stick, making it ideal for larger riders, or those looking for a more forgiving cruiser.

Whether you’re in the mood to just glide or "smash, smother, and cut," our Cruiser Series boards are built to handle whatever you throw at them.

Each season we endeavor to find an artist we can work with to do a series of boards with bring something new to the table, for our audience, at large. We’ve been fortunate enough to partner with the likes of Ian Jepson, Morning Breath, Ray Collins, David ‘Meggs’ Hooke in the past, and look forward to new collaborations in the future. This year, we're proud to introduce our newest Artist Series collaboration with renowned artist, activist and filmmaker, Spencer Keeton Cunningham. His unique style of illustration ranges from large scale, outdoor murals to canvases gracing fine art galleries and museums. He draws inspiration from his Native American and Pacific Northwest roots, using his art as a platform to address both environmental and social issues. As an avid skateboarder and all around rad dude, we're happy to add Spencer to the Sector 9 family of artists.

Wanna stop wiggling and put more power into your carves? If the answer is ‘Yes’, then these are the boards for you. The beauty of the Sidewinder Series comes straight from the trucks, which were specifically designed for carving. The extra kingpin and pivot engineered into the trucks give them something akin to that additional joint your fingers have, and provide you with a quick, responsive turning radius, that’s unlike anything you’ve ridden before.
SIDEWINDER SERIES
CRESCENT WAVEPARK - One of the "surfiest" boards in the lineup is the Crescent Wavepark. With the shortest wheelbase of all the Sidewinder boards, it has a very tight turning radius. Add in the slight kicktail and offset 58mm Nineballs, and you’ve got yourself a carving maching. Slalom through students on the way to class, or pump through the streets without pushing. We’ve added a golden wave from Tahiti based photographer Ben Thouard to put the icing on the cake.
FLUX MINI FRACTAL - We took one of our best-selling skateboards, the Fractal, shrunk it down two inches for a shorter wheel base and tighter turns, and came up with a super clever name, the Mini Fractal! Like all the boards in the Sidewinder Series, this one is going to help you lose that wiggle and start putting more power into your carves! The low ride, due to the drop through mount, provides easier pushing over both short and long distances. For this year’s graphic, we hit up Hawaiian photographer Jonavan Crail for one of his classic frothy barrel images.
NECTAR UNAGI - Glide and power-carve effortlessly on one of the 9 Ball Crew’s favorite boards, the Nectar Unagi. Introduced last year, this model was well received by the 9’ers worldwide and quickly became our go-to when we wanted to step away from our desks and go for a rip around the parking lot, or ride down to the corner store for a cold beverage run. This season, we’ve included a beautiful sunset barrel shot from legendary photographer, Clark Little.
~
If the easy-to-ride boards in the Classix Series make you want to drop everything you’re doing and travel to a beautiful place (with your skateboard of course), then we’ve done our job. Scenic graphics, combined with classic (see, we DO know how to spell), timeless shapes, continue to be the foundation of what we do at Sector 9. These boards have stood the test of time and continue to roll mile after mile, all over the world.
Rider: Jimmy Riha
REFLECTION RIPPLE - Want the feel of a traditional Sector 9 pintail, but with a shorter overall length and wheelbase? If so, the Reflection Ripple is your dream come true! Responsive, effortless, time-honored carves are the result of our 64mm Nineballs on Gullwing Mission Trucks, and the sunset graphic is bound to leave an impression. This board is a great addition to any quiver, or the perfect choice to start one.
SPECTER BINTANG - You're not dreaming! Our newest Specter Bintang continues to deliver proven versatility to the rider. As a commuter, easy pushing and long distance gliding are part of the package. If you’re looking for freeride fun, this board’s sharp rails provide extra grip and control, and our stone ground Buttersauce wheels provide easier slides and plenty of thane.
MIRAGE MERIDIAN - Some people have a hard time letting go, which is our guess as to why the Meridian continues our top-selling shape in the Classix Series! This extremely versatile board allows you to feel comfortable commuting or sliding, and the drop-through top mount design eliminates wheel bite. Whether it's a freeride skate down the winding mountain road, or a cruise down the boardwalk, the Mirage Meridian is no illusion, and will get you where you want to go.
~
Progression can be subtle and sometimes hard to detect. We know this firsthand, from the hundreds of board models we’ve created over the years. Our Platinum boards all have something extra built into them, and the enhanced performance becomes apparent the moment you step on, and start moving. Higher quality components, stronger constructions and improved outlines all come together to create a more refined ride that this series is known for.
Canyon Catapult: The Canyon Catapult is a multifaceted board that provides a lowered, incredibly stable ride. Whether you’re pushing a long distance, trying out for our Downhill Division team on steep grades, or just freeriding through your favorite local spots, you can consistently count on this board to meet or exceed all your expectations.
Valley Fault Line: A fault line is the trace pattern of a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock. Hmm, that's nice. In this case, the Valley Fault Line is a highly functional freeride board that has a platform (a footwall in geological terms) that has been dropped below the hanging wall (oops, another geo term). This gives you a great place to lock in your feet, as well as allowing for more controlled drifts and slides. Skate nerd approved!
Shallows Dropper: Drop-through truck mounts and a 0.625" drop rocker create a low center of gravity, making Shallows Dropper both stable and easy to push (not to mention amazingly easy to slide!). The symmetrical shape and kicktails lend themselves to freeride and freestyle fun.
~
BILLOW BAMBINO - The Billow Bambino is a pocket-sized slasher you can take to the corner store, the classroom, or your favorite ditch. The smallest board in the Bamboo lineup, the Bambino is an Eco-friendly cruiser made with a 100% Bamboo construction, but is still capable of popping up a curb with a full and functional kick tail. The stone ground 61mm Nineballs get you right into a slide and the rounded lips to get you on and off the grinds.
MONSOON SHOOTS - If you're looking for an exceptional mid-length board that is going to allow you to throw down carves like never before, then look no further than the Monsoon Shoots. This carving machine is durable and lightweight due to the 100% Bamboo construction. Combine that with our Sidewinder II trucks and 69mm Nineballs and you’re skating with effortless direction changes, all day long, and a clean black and white graphic match the clean lines you bound to create.
TORRENT OFFSHORE - One of the longest shapes in the Bamboo Series, the Torrent Offshore is the perfect commuter. With a long wheelbase and soft 65mm Nineballs, this board is the ideal beach, campus or even hill carving ride. The 100% Bamboo construction provides just the right amount of flex without losing durability. While we named it the Torrent, it’ll be nothing but smooth sailing on this ride.

Sector 9 Skateboard Co. is proud to announce our Artist Series collaboration with Salty Timbers, a scrappy graphic manufacturer with an uncommon perspective. Founded in 2010 by multidisciplinary artist Nate Reifke, Salty Timbers builds upon the 17 years of illustration and design experience he stockpiled in the action sports and outdoor markets. While working from a quiet part of the Northwest Sierras, he crafted these classic and timeless designs for Sector 9. This series finds inspiration from our wild surroundings, drizzled with a thick glaze of golden California sun over each board. We firmly believe these boards have something in them for everyone, from the mountains to the sea, and everywhere in between.
HOWL NINETY FIVE: Wolves howl for a variety of reasons and our latest rendition of the Ninety Five will allow you to skate a variety of terrain! This board is the perfect choice for a rider looking for a shorter, versatile skateboard. This proven shape is a ‘go-to’ for 9’ers all over the world as it allows you to flow through the diverse landscapes of the urban jungle, mountain roads, sea-side boardwalks, and even skateparks, with ease. This season’s collaboration with Salty Timbers has the Ninety Five looking better than ever and should have YOU howling at the moon!
STAGE SWIFT: The Stag Swift draws from the well-known outlines we’ve been bringing to the marketplace for years and this seasons artwork makes it even more desirable! Salty Timbers has captured one of nature’s most prolific scenes on the bottom of our most recent adaptation of the Swift: a beautiful Stag in its natural, majestic environment. While we can’t promise that you’ll be looking this good while skating, we can commit that if you’re looking for a fun, easy-to-ride skateboard that will meet all your carving and commuting needs, this board is a smart choice and comes with a successful track record of putting smiles on the faces of those who ride it.
TACKLE FRACTAL: While Salty Timbers has created an angler’s dream on underside of the Tackle Fractal, we’re confident in saying this board will provide you with the type of turns that skaters dream of! The Sidewinder trucks feature a patented double kingpin style and are best suited for carving. The knurled kingpins stay securely in place while riding and will allow you to carve harder, deeper and smoother than you’ve ever imagined! Consistently on our best-seller list, this shape is dropped down for easy pushing, carving and pumping, and will surely provide the type of ride you’ve been craving.

Sit back and soak in some Sector 9 history with co-founder Dennis Telfer as he walks you through three boards that were pivotal in progression of the brand. The boards in this series are all based on the original shapes that played an important role in the history of Sector 9, and allowed us to draw new, unique lines all over San Diego. Like everything we produce, these skateboards are made to be RIDDEN, so get out there and put them to use! BUT, we absolutely understand if there’s some hesitation, as you may want to keep such a great-looking board pristine! If that is the case, just opt for a deck and put a piece of skateboarding history on your wall.
OG PIN: If you missed getting one back in ’93, here’s your chance to grab a piece of skateboarding history. The OG Pin was the board that started it all for us, here at Sector 9, and we thought it essential to bring it back as part of our 25 Year Anniversary celebration! If you have the means, we highly recommend picking one up.
COSMIC: We are proud to bring back a limited run of the original Cosmic 1. This versatile, classic shape is constructed with a fiberglass and maple sandwich, which provides the rider with both flex and control, allowing quick, stylish turns and easy maneuverability. The silver foil directly corresponds to our 25 Year Anniversary. Whether you’re planning on taking the Cosmic 1 on a traditional slalom run, an urban sidewalk cruise, or a rip down a mellow hill, we’re confident you’ll feel like you’re celebrating 25 years of skating with the 9-Ball Crew!
BHNC: The original release of the Bomb Hills Not Countries board created a memorable statement, heard around the world. Over the years that followed, we consistently received requests to reissue this board, so it made complete sense to include it in the 25 Year Anniversary Limited Edition Series. The deck construction on this classic shape features a unique, multi-color ply, making each board truly one of a kind! Enjoy this perfect high-speed carving vehicle that also allows you to take control of tough, steep terrain.

Designed with the legend of Bob Marley in mind, and an eye towards the environment, these boards are constructed with 100% sustainably harvested Bamboo and graced with some of his most iconic images. This collection offers something for every riding style, but if riding one of these beauties seems like a waste, celebrate Bob and your love of skateboarding by putting a deck on the wall.

We thought it important to have an extremely adaptable board in our 2018 Bob Marley line-up and the Concrete Jungle fits the bill. This cool customer will let you light up your local skatepark, push through town with ease, or just cruise to your own rhythm, with the extra bonus of having Bob on board!
Buffalo Soldier is one of Bob’s most memorable songs and we feel our board by the same name is going to provide you with some good memories, as well. Our 61MM Nineball Wheels will transport you over all types of concrete terrain and the functional kick tail gives you the ability to ollie up and over any obstacles you may encounter. The 5 ply bamboo construction, combined with a new image of Bob, will make this one of the most beautiful boards in your quiver.
In addition to Bob’s music, the ‘One Love’ we all share is skateboarding! Whether you’re on the hills or flat streets, you can feel secure on this board as the drop through mounts make it lower, easier to push, and more stable. Sharp turns, classic carving, and freeride runs are all possible with the 29” wheelbase and like the other boards in this collection, the 5 Ply Bamboo construction will be sure to turn people’s heads as you skate by.

New Zealand 9 Ball Crew rider Levi Hawken flew out to California to slash hills and alleys on his favorite wheel, the Omegas from the Shred Thane Wheel Series. Our team has been putting these wheels to the mega-slide test lately, and leaving the hill very happy. This isn’t just some re-hyped urethane poured into a different shape – it’s a completely new formula designed with sliding for days in mind. The offset core combined with the shape of the wheel leads to perfect coning and a very high mid-wear performance life to these skateboard tires.
