Gold Coast Pressure Review
Cruise the concrete waves, boardwalks, and byways in style on the Gold Coast Pressure Drop-Through Longboard Complete. Inspired by BMW and Bauhaus, the Pressure is sleek, clean and absolutely head turning. It’s a 38″ custom tapered asymmetrical shaped, 9-ply drop through deck with “W” concave that gives you heavy duty stability and control. The beauty of this board lies in the details; die cut grip tape showcases the orange dip dye and unique racing stripes. Under the hood are the brand new Century C80 Reverse Pivot Trucks with nice rebound on their barrelled bushings and the all around ripping Shred Boots 70mm Wheels with the Gold Coast’s signature Rolleroid Bearings. The Gold Coast Pressure will be your go-to board whether you’re tucking through some serious straights, drifting through tight corners, or standing at the starting line of the race.
