Every functional specification on the Strand Squall is tuned to deliver sharp responsive handling and effortless pushing efficiency:
-
The All-New Strand Shape: Merging a comfortable 8.7-inch riding platform with an agile 20.5-inch wheelbase. This specialized shape offers plenty of foot room for stability while remaining compact enough to stitch tight lines through heavy pedestrian traffic.
-
Functional Kicktail Design: Built with a rigid kicktail pocket that allows you to easily pop over curbs, ticks-tack through sharp sidewalk switchbacks, or lift the nose out of deep cracks and gutter grids.
-
8.375" Gullwing Mission Trucks: Formulated with a classic top-mount geometry that yields incredibly immediate turn response. They offer an intuitive lean-to-turn ratio that makes deep, snappy neighborhood carving feel second nature.
-
Gummy 61mm Two-Tone Nineballs: Poured in a soft, road-smoothing 78a durometer. These wheels roll seamlessly over crusty asphalt, pebbles, and sidewalk debris while displaying a stunning two-tone swirled color pattern in motion.
-
0.25" Recycled Plastic Riser Pads: Mounted rigidly between the baseplates and the exotic wood frame. This quarter-inch clearance completely eliminates the threat of wheelbite during extreme lean angles, while absorbing harsh road shock under foot.
