The creators say that they designed the Onda Board to be the best longboard for cruising. And it just might be.

Built From the Ground Up

The futuristic Onda Board was created from the ground up. Every part of it was custom made. The deck is made of a robust yet flexible polymer and fiberglass blend.

Straight from Onda's website- "Its material blend is hygroscopic, which means it will actually absorb humidity and become more flexible and even stronger over time. That means you can ride your Onda in any weather, or even leave it outside. It won’t ever delaminate as wood does."

Now, I don't quite understand how absorbing humidity will make it stronger and more flexible, but it sounds interesting nonetheless. And from the video, it definitely looks like it is flexible and strong (seeing it be run over by a car was fairly convincing).

Ride and Glide

The Onda board was built for being good at cruising and carving. The board is low to the ground so it is easier to kick, and the low friction 7 inch wheels help you glide longer.

Adjustable Trucks

The trucks can be adjusted by swapping out the torsion shocks. There are several different shocks with different degrees of hardness. They can be interchanged and mixed up to adjust the trucks to fit the terrain being ridden, or to match what the rider wants.

So, if the rider wants to be able to carve more, soft shocks can be installed, or if the rider needs a stiffer ride for higher speeds, harder shocks can be installed, all without tools and done fairly quickly. The spare shocks can be stored under the board for later.

Onda Board in Action

Looking at it, I definitely did not think this thing would handle being run over by a car.
