How It Shreds:
The Rayne Avenger Longboard is a downhiller’s dream board. It is a super strong, lightweight, and responsive top mount that has Rayne’s patented “Pleasure-Dome” W-Concave running through the middle of the deck. Along with the 3D integrated wheel wells it has Rayne’s Fat Bottom tapered core which reduces weight but retains the stiffness of Rayne's "Speed Stiff" boards. The Rayne Avenger is ideal for people who love speed and having the confidence and ability to grip corners with ease. It also doubles as a sweet freeride deck as well. You will even love it if you don’t like using W-Concave for freeriding because the “Pleasure-Dome” mellows out towards the back of the effective foot platform. We can't decide if we like it better for downhill or for freeriding, it is amazing across the board! All in all if speed is what you are after you will love the Rayne Avenger!

Lets face it, we don’t win every race. Our friends beat us down the hill here and there, sometimes more often than not. So the geniuses at Rayne Longboards created a board so powerful that it avenges your previous board’s defeat; of course we are talking about the Rayne Avenger. The Avenger does not like to see older boards sulking in corners due to their lack of performance. Rayne trained this creation well. The Avenger actually goes up to your old boards, cheers them up, and then avenges them in a Captain America-like fashion. When you are riding the Rayne Avenger you will no longer need to check out your friends rear ends as you mash down hills... with the Avenger your friends will be eating your dust!
When it comes to freeriding and downhill the Avenger can be setup to accommodate anyone’s riding style. The Avenger is created with Rayne’s Speed-Stiff construction because at high speeds you want a sturdy and reliable board. Toward the back of the standing platform is a wee bit of Rayne’s “Pleasure Dome” W-Concave. The Pleasure Dome is placed perfectly in our opinion. It is far enough back to be 100% effective while you are in a tuck, but stops early enough not to distract your back foot if you like to sprawl out over your deck when you slide. Beautiful CNC-cut wheel wells that accommodate 76mm wheels on loose-as-hell trucks and as a special bonus, you can pull your board back up the hill with the tail cutout!
We highly recommend this board for those of you who want to get a bit more serious about your riding. Speed is scary but it will ultimately be your best friend when you are trying to progress. The Rayne Avenger will allow you to take your riding to the next level with ease and comfort. Riders of all skill levels and disciplines can easily appreciate what the Avenger has to offer. Rayne is dedicated to bringing you the highest quality of boards out there and their efforts shine with the Rayne Avenger!
