Tired of the swings? Big kids won’t let you on the slide? Be the Queen (or King — we’re not judging…) of your local park.
The Orangatang Onsens park wheels continue to blend the boundaries of traditional skateboarding, park riding, and longboarding. Designed for park riding in particular, this proprietary new formula, core design, and shape were created to find that perfect balance between grip and slip. Grippy enough to hold high lines in the bowl, but slidey enough for predictable speed checks and recoveries from sketchy scenarios.
The Onsens are poured in a new Orangatang formula: Perky Thane. Fast, smooth, grippy, and durable. Flat spot resistant. The color of the wheels is extracted from the bathwater of Japanese businessmen, making the Onsens ideal for park and pool skating.
Strong yet compliant cores enhance wear characteristics and increase roll speed even further. The clean, rounded lips keep you safe from hangups on the coping, and our unique sanded finish means the Onsens are pre-broken in and ready to rip, right out of the box.

Orangatang Wheels began in 2008 as a means for advocating the civil liberties of the indigenous river Capybaras of Southern California.
We are passionate about materials, are committed to environmentally conscious design and production, appreciate the subtleties of process (the devil's in the details) and are devotees of functionally driven design.
Like a shot of adrenaline for a stale economy of shredding, the Orangatang wheel is here to breathe new life into your ride.
