Z-Flex Banana Train Drop Through Longboard
Low, fast, and loaded with history.
The Z-Flex Banana Train Drop Through is built for riders who want a stable, low-riding platform that handles everything from cruising the footpath to bombing a hill. The drop-through truck mounting lowers your centre of gravity, making the board more stable at speed and easier to push for long distances. The Banana Train series takes its name and graphic from the Mystery Island ride at the end of Pacific Ocean Park in Venice Beach — the same spot that birthed the Z-Boys and shaped modern skateboarding. The exotic-inspired graphics draw from 'ie tōga mats seen in Pacific Island cultures like Samoa, giving this board a standout tiki feel that's as distinctive as the history behind it.

About Z-Flex
Z-Flex was founded in Santa Monica in 1975, born directly out of the Zephyr surf shop that spawned the Z-Boys — the crew who changed skateboarding forever. They were among the first to put urethane wheels on boards, and the first brand to introduce concave deck design. The Banana Train series pays direct tribute to the Pacific Ocean Park roots that started it all. Still independent, still building boards the same way.
