Since Sector 9 was founded by surfers in Ja Jolla, California (you should know this by now), it’s only fitting that their boards would be heavily surf-inspired throughout the years!
This year’s Swell Photo Collection is no different. For this year’s offering, we’ve headed South… way South… to feature photographer Hayden Richards a.k.a. Rich Richards a.k.a. SA Rips. Hailing from South Australia, his photography is stark contrast to the bright, colorful, sun-soaked barrels you’re probably accustomed to seeing don their decks. The moody, serene and often dark images of barren stretches and isolated landscapes are punctuated by ocean views and perfect barrels.
Sector 9 has chosen to compliment the subtlety of his images with flat, matte bottom graphics on some surf-inspired shapes like the Jammer and Unagi, as well as an all-around favorite in the Meridian. Sector 9 is super stoked to show off his incredible images with this collection that’ll have you transported to the other side in search of ocean perfection.
MISSION TRUCKS:
All of Gullwing’s Mission trucks feature the traditional kingpin style and are best used for cruising or carving. The knurled kingpin stays securely in place while riding and the bent pivot provides deep, drawn-out, carves. The 356 Aluminum and Chromoly axle have become the ‘gold-standard’ of the truck industry and have proven themselves through years of use and abuse. This heat-treated aluminum cannot be die-cast, and is responsible for the strength and familiar grind characteristics you should expect from a quality truck.
Additional benefits come from the integrated speed ring on both the hanger and axle nut. The rings provide improved alignment to your bearings, for better speed roll and longevity. They also reduce friction, by only touching the inner race of the bearing and because they are integrated, you can’t lose them! Mission trucks feature a 6-hole baseplate for old school or new school mounting and come with 89A barrel/cone bushings.
NINEBALL WHEELS:
Nineballs have been a long-time favorite of skaters from all walks of life. From cruising kids to freeriding chargers, Sector 9 has got something for everyone in this collection. With a 61mm diameter and 78a durometer provides a good roll speed and come with either a natural finish for speed and grip, or a stone-ground finish for immediate slides. Paired with ABEC rated bearings, it provides the perfect match if you are wanting to have some fun while cruising around.

Need to get a breath of fresh air? Looking for a quick sidewalk carve to take your mind off things? Look no further! All new 2020 Cruiser Series is here just in time for Spring. We’re introducing a brand new shape in the Hair Barrel Hopper. It’s one of the smallest boards in the entire line at 27.5″ long. The 7.0″ Mission trucks, 58mm Nineballs and kicktail make it a perfect corner store ride or driveway slasher. We’re also introducing a killer new graphic on a fan favorite shape, the Gaucho Ninety Five. This board is an all around shape that’s as suited for the park as it is for boardwalk cruise. Both come in multiple colorways, so there’s bound to be a board for you.
