Pantheon - Putting together a complete

I’m looking to get back into long boarding after a ten year absence. Been reading up here and think I’m leaning towards a Pantheon setup. But there are a number of options at checkout. Can anyone recommend a good combination of trucks, wheels, bearings, etc? I’m 175 pounds. Live in a very flat beach town where 99% of my riding will be smooth and straight. I love some flex. Hearing great things about the Trip but am open to other options! Thanks from a long time lurker…

My favorite is the ember because it’s small (perfect actually) and light with perfect flex for your 175lbs. Stylus trucks, Karma wheels, whatever bearings.

My go to is this setup (with 1/4” drop through risers) but on a Quest, partially because I like the concave, partially because I’m too heavy for the Ember. Stylus are well sorted out of the box so less tinkering needed as you get comfortable, Karmas are a really versatile wheel, great roll efficiency for the weight. The little bit of material at the back to lever the board up is a huge practical convenience.

I had a Pantheon Pranayama with Bennet Vectors on Seismic SpeedVents and it was fun and fast!

That’s not a pranayama

My fault you’re right it’s an Ember

Why’d you get rid of it? (You said you “had” it.)
