Darkslide 84×25 founders edition

Hybrid Carbon Deck

Proudly introducing The Darkslide — the very first Leenboard to enter production. A carefully engineered blend of maple, fiberglass, and carbon, designed for stable slides, predictable edge control, and confident high-speed riding. With high torsional stiffness and a flex rating of approximately 7–8 out of 10 (depending on rider weight), the board feels stable, damped, and highly responsive.

At 84 cm long, The Darkslide sits right between a medium and large freeboard. With a width of 25 cm, it offers an extra-wide platform that provides excellent foot support, increased stability, and a comfortable riding stance.

The deck features a balanced concave profile, positioned between the mild concave of a Freebord 5 deck and the more progressive concave of an SBX deck. In addition, the deck incorporates a subtle reverse camber along its entire length, effectively providing the edge wheels with approximately 2–3 mm of additional rocker. The hybrid layup isn’t the lightest out there — and it was never meant to be. The extra weight over a typical 7-ply maple deck brings serious benefits in stiffness, stability, comfort and vibration absorption.

The deck comes standard with eight truck mounting holes in the traditional medium-sized freeboard configuration. There is also enough room to drill additional mounting holes for riders who prefer a wider truck setup (more close to the FB 85 and 87 cm). The footpads serve as a drilling jig, making it easy to accurately drill mounting holes for most popular freeboard truck and center wheel systems, including G3/G3-R, FB5/FB5X, MP1, SBX1 and SBX2. Since every rider has different preferences for center wheel hardware, the center wheel mounting holes are intentionally left undrilled. This gives you complete freedom to choose and install your preferred setup. We recommend replicating your preferred stance as closely as possible to the setup you’re used to.

The first Leenboards will be offered at a special introductory price to a small group of riders who want to be part of the very first production batch and help shape the future of Leenboard through real-world testing and honest feedback.

Every Founder Edition board includes a free set of custom footpads. After your order has been placed and payment has been received you get contacted by email or social media to discuss your preferred design.
