The Hammond Surf Highway is an entry level longboard wheel that is affordable, easy to slide, and effective for its price. At 84a, and pre-ground it will be easier to slide, but roll a bit firmer than competitors.
When carving and cruising Surf Highway Customs provide grip and speed, absorbing as well undesired vibrations from pavement bumps. They will not slide unless you ask them for, and when you do so, get ready for long, controlled and predicted slides, for this urethane is not just urethane, but a special high rebound formula designed for longboarding and not for anything else.
