Summary:
In the words of Rad-Air owner and freeride legend Harry Gunz - “The tankers are super surfy, they’ll remind you of the old days when all boards had rocker or convex bases. The feel is like riding a longboard in a smooth wave.” The Limited Edition Silver Tanker has all the technology of the standard Tanker, like the surf inspired RR Rocker, Aramid Stringers to get rid of any unwanted chatter and a super fast sintered base to make freeriding even more effortless. With the Silver Tanker the guys at Rad Air have lengthened the Tanker to a huge 200cm with a 12.45m sidecut and thrown in a slick Aluminium topsheet, no other longboard on the market can compare to this Longboard!

Turning tradition on its head by embedding two decades of free riding technology into base templates delivers yet another industry first – Rad Air’s entire free ride collection has binned the outdated camber concept and has redesigned a base rocker that delivers unprecedented powder flow and precision edge control.
