What Makes the Supersonic LDP Different
Meet the Supersonic Aegis
The Supersonic has always been our go-to distance machine — and now it’s ready for all conditions. The Supersonic Aegis takes the same proven mold and geometry as the Superdupersonic but adds a squared-off profile and precision-machined fenders that keep water, slush, and road grime off you while you ride. This is the clean-ride version of our most popular LDP deck, designed to keep you rolling no matter what the road throws at you.
Why the Aegis Stands Apart
Fendered Shape + Purpose-Built Track Width
Instead of simply widening and carving wheel wells like on the Superdupersonic, we cut the deck like a brick and precision-machine wheel wells directly into the fenders. Pair the Aegis with 130 mm Bear trucks to get the perfect track width so your wheels tuck inside the wells — maximizing lean and keeping you dry.
Risers Built Into the Recommendation
The Aegis is designed to run with risers. The same riser package we pair with 102 mm Hokus on the Superdupersonic now clears 92 mm Karma wheels on the Aegis. Want to go bigger than 92 mm? Add taller risers to maintain full clearance and take advantage of the fendered shape.
Reinforced Neck for Durability
This is a full-bodied version of the Supersonic. The squared shape makes the neck and tail slightly stiffer, which is exactly what you want when riding in adverse conditions. That added stiffness translates to better stability, more confidence, and a longer-lasting deck.
Smarter Construction
We eliminated cross-ply maple — the weak point in most skateboards — and replaced it with fiberglass on light and medium flexes, and long-ply maple on the heavy flex. The result is a board that holds its energy, resists fatigue, and shrugs off the leverage stress from its deep curves.
New Graphic by Rafa Alvarez
Rafa Alvarez gives the Aegis a bold, warrior-like graphic featuring a mythic shield-bearer standing guard in a forest clearing. It’s a fitting symbol for this deck’s purpose: defend your ride from the elements and keep you charging forward.
For LDP riders looking to pump, a classic wedge front, de-wedge rear setup is a must. You want high degree turning in front and a nice low degree solid back end to throw your weight off of and create power. For the Supersonic, the built-in angles provide a ton of riding options. Riders will have a blast dialing in this setup and even changing it around for different riding styles.
The front of the Supersonic mounts at a positive 15 degrees. That means that a Bear or Paris 50 degree truck will run at 65 degrees. A quite high starting place for sure, but a high degree front with soft bushings will pump super easily. It will also result in a more front-weighted pump on your LDP longboard. This is ideal if the P stands for pushing AND pumping, especially. If you’re looking to dial it down a little, a truck in the 40-45 degree range will be a little more forgiving for all-out pushing speeds, while still netting a high angle around 55-60 degrees for efficient pumping.
The rear of the Supersonic is where even more options come into play. There are two mounting options. Mounting is available on the high, 40-degree angled wedge or on the far rear -17 degree angled tail. The -17 degree rear is obvious enough. We will typically use a lower degree cast truck in this position—either a Paris 43 or a Bear 40. The wedged 40 degree rear is actually designed for a FLIPPED rear truck, netting zero or near zero degrees in the back. The zero degree rear option is incredibly stable for high speed pushing. It is also effective for top-end speeds in pumping, although more effort will be required than when using the conventional -17 degree rear.
Flex options explained
Supersonic Bamboo Light
The light flex is ideal for riders under 170 lbs. You CAN ride this up to 190 pounds, but you’re going to have an easier time bottoming it out. Heavier riders are going to stress this board more, so this is something to keep in mind when riding. If you’re a rider who really wants to ride a flexiible board, we recommend pairing the Bamboo light with risers and our large 102mm Hoku Wheels. That will get you off of the ground further and allow more space between the bottom of the board and the ground for the board to flex. The light flex is slightly more sturdy than previous versions, given that the neck and tail are slightly wider and stiffer. The body of the board still has a high quality flex, as designed.
Supersonic Bamboo Medium
The medium flex is the standard. Anyone between 150 and 210 pounds should be able to ride this board. Riders at the top of this limit should only choose this board if they want a lot of flex. Riders at the bottom should pick this if they want a stiffer, more stable setup. Or if you’re a very powerful pumper that’s really looking for a snappy flex when putting maximum pressure into the board. I (Jeff, the owner/designer of Pantheon boards) am 190 pounds and I ride the medium flex. The board has a comfortable flex under my weight.
Supersonic Bamboo Heavy
The heavy flex is stronger and stiffer than the medium flex. Riders up to about 260 lbs should be able to ride this deck with no issues. It can probably handle more, but we will keep our eyes on the numbers as we receive more testing. This deck is a tank. You can trust it.
Picking The Right Trucks
Choosing Your Trucks
The Supersonic Aegis was designed around Bear 130 mm trucks — and we recommend them exclusively for this deck. The internal wheel wells are precision-machined for maximum strength, and using 130 mm trucks ensures your wheels fall perfectly into those wells for maximum lean, clean clearance, and proper fender function.
Bears also feature an insert bushing and a more restrictive bushing seat, which makes them extra stable at speed — ideal for wet-weather commutes, straight pushing, and high-mileage days. Paired with the fenders, you get a setup that feels locked-in and confidence-inspiring no matter the conditions.
Don’t Forget the Risers
The Aegis is designed to run with risers.
-
Use the same riser package we pair with 102 mm Hokus on the Superdupersonic — here it clears 92 mm Karma wheels perfectly.
-
If you want to size up beyond 92 mm, add taller risers to maintain clearance and let the fenders keep doing their job.
Dialing It In
Bushings and washers are key to getting the Aegis feeling right. Stock bushings may feel too generic, so plan to upgrade.
-
Front Truck: The Aegis adds +15° to the front, giving you a steep angle. Run softer bushings up front for responsive turning and efficient pumping.
-
Rear Truck: The rear is –17°, giving you maximum leverage over the bushings. Run harder bushings in the rear for stability and confidence.
A great starting point for a 180 lb rider is 81a front / 90a rear, or drop to 77a front if you want a more lively front end.
Track Width and Deck Fit
With 92 mm Karma wheels, Bear 130 mm trucks sit exactly where they should — narrow enough to be snappy and efficient, with the wheels tucking neatly into the wells. This is the recommended setup to take full advantage of the Aegis’s geometry and fender design.
