The Sector 9 Lookout: A 100% Bamboo Longboard Favorite
The Sector 9 Lookout Longboard has long been a crowd favorite—and for good reason. With its 100% bamboo deck, smooth drop-through construction, and stunning custom graphics, it’s a board that rides as good as it looks. Whether it’s the effortless pushing, smooth carving, or the satisfying flex under your feet, the Lookout is all about the ride—and the vibe.
Why Riders Love the Lookout
The Lookout has been a standout in the Sector 9 lineup for years. Its drop-through design lowers your center of gravity, giving you more stability and easier pushing—perfect for commuting, cruising, or carving mellow hills.
Here’s what you’re rolling on:
-
100% Bamboo deck for a strong yet flexible ride
-
10” Gullwing Charger trucks for stable, responsive turns
-
72mm 78A Nineball wheels for smooth, grippy cruising
-
Drop-through truck mounting for effortless pushing and carving
Don’t Fear the Drop-Through
If you’ve never ridden a drop-through longboard because it looks a little unconventional, now’s the time to give one a try. Dropping just a half-inch lower than traditional top-mount boards, the Lookout offers:
-
Easier pushing over long distances
-
Increased stability at speed
-
Greater leverage for deeper carves
It’s a small change with a big impact on your ride.

The stunning visuals on the Lookout are the work of Nate Reifke, the creative force behind Salty Timbers. A true child of nature, Nate lives in the heart of the central California mountains, close to Lake Tahoe and deep in the trees. His art reflects that connection to the wild.
Nate has been collaborating with Sector 9 for over 15 years, and his distinctive style has become a key part of the brand’s identity. If the Lookout's artwork makes you feel more connected to the outdoors, that’s no coincidence—it’s by design.
