Lovers of mellow concave rejoice, the V2 Fitter is a nice mellow skate-it-all pocketknife of a board.

The original v1 fitter “bro model” had the same concave as the rayne Amazon, but with the directional, single kick shape. The v2 fitter has the same shape, but a completely new concave that’s more mellow in all aspects.

One of the more mellowed-out features is the the transition from the Amazon’s 3-stage to a much tamer rocker that blends a bit more with the drops.

If you like mellow concave, the Fitter has a very open-feeling radial combined with the 9.5″ width, making the board feel a little narrower than it really is. The space between the drops is roughly 22″, but I like to stand a little over the back drop to use as leverage for toesides.

The drops are very gradual, which keeps it feeling a little like rocker and feel nice and comfortable under your feet. You can still definitely feel it’s a drop and it’s the end of the concave of your board without looking and combined with the radial, they make nice little pockets to dig into (but not too deep!) If you’re into footstops, they compliment the drops very well and I guarantee any footstop will fit since there’s no concave around that area.

On the v2 Fitter, there aren’t really any flares to speak of, the concave just ends and feeds into the drops, so you can still feel a corner to put your foot in while staying mellow.

Keeping the minimalistic style going, the space between the nose/tail and the drops (where the mounting holes are) is completely flat, so no spoon kicks. The 5″ tail (measured from the outermost hole), while being flat and angled, is a very nice addition, it’s one of those things that’s like the icing on the cake of longboards. It’s got a decent amount of pop, nothing too spectacular being made of bamboo and not super solid.

For wheel clearance, the Fitter has cutouts similar to that of the 2015 Darkside series, which takes a couple plys out of the missionary construction. If you’ve got narrow hangers (-165mm), maybe consider running offset/sideset wheels so your cutouts don’t explode when you curb.

If you love customization, the Fitter’s got a lovely amount of wheelbase options to satisfy your techy-freeride to rock-steady DH needs. I tend to use the 25″ wheelbase for a mix of everything and if I plan on doing some DH, I switch out my rear baseplate.

Rayne’s “Missionary” construction is technically 3 plies of vert-lam bamboo between 2 fiberglass layers, but the Fitter seems to have a slightly leaner version with thinner bamboo plies. If you’re under 150lbs, the flex will be nearly non-existent and you can enjoy the tail’s super crispy pop. If you’re above 160lbs, you may feel some flex if you jump in the center.

Due to how rayne does cutouts, 2 plies worth of material is removed from the “wheelbite prone” area, making it a bit fragile, but fortunately the flares aren’t the high points of the board when flipped so they’ll last a little longer than expected.

So should you buy a v2 Fitter? If you’re under 150lbs, maybe into some freestyle and aggressive freeride, the Fitter is worth a try. The Fitter is a limited edition deck, and there are a finite number of them floating around, so don’t wait too long to pick one up.

Some things to be careful for, like I mentioned above; flex for heavier riders, low durability around the flares, and very mellow concave (if you hate that kind of thing).
