The Whip 41″ is the smallest in the series, but it isn’t small. It’s still a whopping 41 inches, the most common size of most quiver-killers in the market. The Whip 41 is good for riders who will be doing primarily freestyle, flip tricks and quick, nimble footwork. The modest size of the 41 gives you less board to whip around, relative to the 44 and the 47, so it’s also the lightest of the series. It’s also the board with the smallest wheelbase, so it’s good for cruising applications as it is nimbler and quicker to turn than the other boards.
The Whip 41 has a firm flex. This means that although the flex is welcoming and comfortable for freestyle and dancing applications, it’s still incredibly valid for freeride and mellow downhill. This is a very good do-everything board and is comfortable for seasoned riders and beginners alike.
The Whip 41’s flex is ideal for those who range from 130-220 pounds; basically everyone!
- Length: 41″
- Width: 9.5″
- Wheelbase: 25.5″, 26″, 26.5″
Part of the beauty of skateboarding is that everyone who picks up a board brings their own personality and style to the game; Marisa Nunez isn’t lacking in either department. In this latest edit on the recently reincarnated Forge, Marisa slides, cruises, and dances the Forge around Vancouver (yes, sometimes the sun does shine here) with grace and poise.
