MAKAHA

Novice to Intermediate

“Cheddar Cheese”. Here’s a board to train on and begin to sharpen your basic techniques. The kicktail allows you to get the feel for basic maneuvers, especially 360’s. The deck itself is polypropylene with non-skid surface built in. The pointed nose gets you into wheelies in a hurry and in much shorter distance. Far from the toy scene, the Makaha “Cheddar Cheese” board is equipped with aluminum trucks and No. 3 (2″x 2″) urethane wheels with radial outer edges and precision bearings.

Intermediate to Advanced

“the force”.

the right board for the Intermediate to Advanced rider. It’s the first board designed to bridge the gap from the skillful to radical rider. Shaped like the Expert boards, the force is fabricated from a semi rigid polypropylene that’s a full 8″ wide and 27″ long, and sports a total non-skid deck. The hardware is also transitional using 4″ yoke trucks and No. 4 (1%” × 2%”) urethane radial wheels for greater traction. You’ll have to go a long way to outreach the force.

Advanced to Expert

“The Magnum Ill”…

the board of all boards. It’s the Expert’s board for all those who plan to enter the pro ranks. It’s the ultimate space …whether you’re into pools or pipes, or stretching for the long green at Long Beach. Naturally it’s fabricated from superb, but unforgiving solid Oak. It’s designed for the truly radical; response time is immediate. A full 29″ long and g” wide, the Magnum III features the unique Originator trucks (4″ yoke) with an adjustable base plate and No. 5(1%” x 2½”) urethane radial wheels with high-performance precision bearings. It’s the only board to be vertical on!

All Makaha skateboards feature die cast aircraft aluminum trucks and individually-poured urethane wheels for the ultimate in performance.

Skateboard World Feb. 1978

92 pages. Jerry Valdez on cover photo by Stan Sharp. Other photographers include Bill Sharp, Mac McKinley, and Vic Volinecs. Features include "Pro File” on Rebecca Williams, dessert pipe skating, Catalina completion, A Jill Sherman article warning about the impact of an L.A. Times article on skateboard dangers and accidents, assorted photos., the new Oxnard skatepark, and "New Faces” profiles on Anthony Madrona, Wendy Bedell, Tony Harnell, and Steve Ruffin. The copy these scans were sourced from was pretty beat up; 4 pages had a section cut out, and the back cover is completely missing.
