Where can i buy this board ?
i`am living in germany but i can`t find it on any onlineshop
greets anton
Hi Anton,
See our list of german dealers. Write back if you don’t find any!
Jag kan inte vänta tills jag får hem min och få ta jungråket!
Hej Dennis vart köpte du den ifrån?
George, please take a look here for info on all our dealers (click the flags!). Please let us know if you have any problems finding what you want.
just ordered this board.. and im very exited. but one thing i dont like so far, is the “Theme” the pandas, and such. havent found any with a different theme, and i think that is 2 bad, and im a bit affraid im gonna get teased because of i at school.. but i ordered it for the “specs” i think they looked good, and decided to give it a try
What! Not liking the Pandas? They are super cool! You will be the hottest guy in School with that board, for sure!
But seriously, some like the graphics and some do not and they usually end up giving their board a new paint-job or just covering it up with stickers.
Feel free to customize your ride as well.
Good luck!
Har precis beställt en.. hoppas den e grym! Can’t whait!!!
Good for you Stefan, good luck and have FUN!
Vil dette brettet passe til en ung jente, 1,70 høy, 60 kg, helt nybegynner? Ønsker et brett som føles trygt men alikevel er morsomt å kjøre. Ikke aktuelt å kjøre store bakker med høy fart, mer transport/cruising/lek
Good choice! The Twin is our most popular board due to that is fun and easy to ride, yet stable and handles almost anything. Check out The Lowrider and Wedgie as well!
What would be the pros for her on a Wedgie rather than a Twin? And what would she loose?
The Wedgie has a softer feel compared to the more lively flex of The Twin. The turning radius on The Wedgie is larger as well. All theese things are really a matter of preference, so try it before you buy it if possible!
well, you guys build some great boards! I will get mine at concretewave shop at cologne germany next week. very excited how good it will go under my feet. by the way the graphic is f**** awesome, love pandas
It´s look very nice and i have ordered one now:) so excited
Just bought this today.. i <3 it… never stood on a long board before, tried a few different ones in the shop and this one is just amazing. Old skateboarder, snowboarder, pretend surfer… long boarding is going to be awesome this summer!! Big up this board, nice one slipstream!
Is it a small longboard
Hi Robel!
I guess that depends on what you compare it to, but no, we would not say that this is a “small” board…
Can this longboard take some weight i currently weight about 67 kg and im 13
13 years old
Hey Rick, thank you for the message!
Your weight is no problem for this board.
Good Luck!
Hi!
How about a 93kg dude? Am I to heavy?
Hi Jonas, thank you for the message!
This board holds 93 kg without any problems. It will flex some for sure, but not too much in our opinion. Try it before you buy it if possible!
Är det 150 truckar eller 180 truckar på den här brädan?
Simon, we strongly recommend using 180 (10″) trucks on this board.
Good Luck!
HEY slipstream ! i am so excited about this board. but im a little afraid of the theme. i love the board in type so i gonna buy it as soon as possible.
I LOVE SLIPSTREAM
ps. can you gays on slipstream send me some stickers… contact me to my email. so we can talk about it
If you send us a self addressed + stamped envelope we’ll send you the stickers.
I sent you an email as well.
hi! i am a beginner on longboarding, i’ve checked around on your slipstream lowrider. but then i saw this and i cant decide wich one is the better for me…
i will use it mostly just to go downhill and skate some in citys. witch one do you think is the better one for me ?
i am 14 years old, my weight is around 65 kg, i am 1.65 cm long. thanks in advance!:)
Hi Danne!
Tough choice, but in our opinion you should probably go for The Twin since it is a bit shorter an thus more easy to handle for you.
But as always; Try it before you before you buy it (if possible).
Good Luck!

Hey Is anyone importing your boards into Canada yet?
Hey Pinz,
Unfortunately we do not have any representation on the Canadian market yet, but please let us know if you have any suggestions!
I love this!!!!! best longboard ever
Some shops to buy it in Spain?
Hello Dani!
Unfortunately we do not have any representation in Spain yet, but please let us know if you have any suggestions.
In the mean time, it is possible to order boards to Spain from our German and Swedish e-retailers.
Please let us know if you need any help in finding one for you!
Hej! Kan man fortfarande köpa den här longboarden till 2013 eller var det 2012 modellen eller va? Och finns det några retailers online i Sverige? Och är det en komplett bräda? Isåfall vilka truckar, kullager, och hjul är det på den?
Tack!
Hej Jojje!
This is the 2012 Twin and it is still available with selected dealers.
You can find our Swedish retailer list here: http://slipstreamlongboards.com/dealers/sweden/ and, as you can see, some of them are online retailers.
The board is normally available both as a complete setup and deck only and the trucks/bearings/wheels used at complete packages vary from dealer to dealer. Many dealers also let you chose exactly the parts you want.
Please let us know if you are having problems finding what you need!
dette er et genialt brett!!
jeg har stått på den nå i et år! og digger brette så det holder! det er super smud, kan gjøre alt med dette brette!
det ligner litt på Loaded sitt dervish, men Twin er myyye bedre synes jeg som da har begge to.
Simen, thank you for the kind words!
Vet inte vart jag kan köpa den online :/ Kommer bli min första longboard. Är det ett bra val?
Tja, har en snabb fråga.
Har kollat på The Twin samt Platypus och har svårt för att bestämma mig vilken jag ska ta.
Aldrig åkt bräda förr så vet inte vilken som är bra att börja med
Tja Robb!
Both boards are low and stable and thus easy to learn to ride with.
Between those two boards, The Platypus is more aimed towards tricks, and The Twin more towards carving/cruising, but both are great all-round.
Good Luck!
Hey Slipstream!
I wonder if you have any danish vendors?
I can’t seem to find any suppliers in DK, and I really want a Twin..
I could buy it in Sweden, but if I need things like warranty and customer support, I would prefer Denmark..
It’s a long ride from midt Jutland to Sweden
Thanks
Hey Anders!
Have you tried our Danish dealers at http://slipstreamlongboards.com/dealers/denmark/?
If they canot help you as they should, please let us know and we will get right to it.
Cheers!
Tja!
Undrar bara om det finns en maxvikt för den här brädan?
Är 2 meter och 110 kg…
Tja Gustav!
We have no maximum weights on our boards and your 110 kgs should be fine as long as you realize that this board will be pretty flexy for you. Try it before you buy it if possible!
Hvor kan jeg kjøpe dette? finner absolutt ingen nettsider.
Hi Joakim!
I just found this deck as a complete HERE
And as deck only HERE
Good Luck!
Thank you so much!
Hej! Jag har haft problem med att hitta en hemsida där jag kan beställa en sådan här bräda, kan jag få hjälp?
Hej George!
For deck only I found it HERE and HERE
Completes available there as well from what I could see.
Good Luck!
Are there any significant improvements between the model for 2012 and the model for 2013 or is it just a change in graphics? Also, when will the 2013 model be available for purchase?
Hi Henrik,
Slight changes in nose/tail + cutouts shapes to accommodate for bigger wheels + slightly narrower.
Biax glassfibre now on top + bottom plies so the flex is a bit stiffer as well.
The 2013 boards are actually out in shops now, the webpage will be updated next week with all the new boards.
Cheers!
So if I’m looking for a responsive board with a nice amount of flex, a bit like a Loaded Dervish, Should i go for the 2012 model or the 2013? also i weigh 75 kg. I’ll be using it mainly to slide and carve
The 2012 flexes more, the 2013 less. Both will work well for you, but if you like more flex you should go for the 2012 version.
Good Luck!
