They say the transcendent power of soccer lies within its ability to break down the barriers of language, race, creed and color. Starting June 12, the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil will unite even the most remote corners of the world for the month long global championship. But while the World Cup brings about a type of global unity every four years, the crew at GoldCoast Skateboards know that skateboards and skateboarding has the ability to unite people every single day.
About the GOAL! Series…
Inspired by the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the GOAL! Series of longboards was created to represent the fourteen countries in which GoldCoast can be found around the world: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, South Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom and of course the United States.
While the beauty of soccer usually takes place between the lines, The GOAL! Series 40″ longboard offers a pintail shape and extended wheelbase which combine to make for long sweeping turns on the open road so you can live your life outside the lines. A micro veneer of rich walnut adds an aesthetic as classic as the game itself, while the Goal Series graphic incorporates the national colors of your country of choice allowing you to display your patriotic fervor.
Constructed with 7-ply Canadian Maple and a “W” concave design, the deck of the GOAL! Series boards gives your foot a comfortable pocket, and better leverage for your turns. And on the fast foundation of Shred Boots 70mm Wheels and Century 177mm Reverse Pivot Trucks, it’s a fun board whether you’re sidewalk cruising, freestyle street shredding, or weaving through crowds of soccer hooligans outside the stadium.
Bottom Line…
As soccer mania sweeps the globe, nearly one billion people will tune into the World Cup and watch the drama of nations unfold. But when the games draw to a close, and the soccer euphoria begins to fade, the GOAL Series board ensures that you can keep riding that wave of patriotic fervor for years to come.
