What is Jacuzzi Skateboarding Equipment Unlimited?

For those of you that don't know, back in 2019 Dwindle Distribution was bought out by a big corporation named Bravo Sports.
Since Enjoi skateboards was under the Dwindle Distribution umbrella, this move had a massive effect on the whole company!
Out of the big list of negatives that came with this change, one massive positive came along too
And this is when Jacuzzi Skateboarding Equipment Unlimited was born

What’s your thoughts on what went down at Dwindle?

@tyronelee8501 3 месяца назад
Poor move by pushing out the guys who stayed loyal to them. The guys who were cut made a comeback with Jacuzzi n Opera(Madness 2.0). If I'm not mistaken they're still using DSM for deck manufacturing including some deck shapes?

@@tyronelee8501 Its all the same Presses and Shapes basically. of course updates for the market in 2024. but its DSM in China. they are the biggest factory bro, my old "Boss" Used to have our products made there, and he knew the owners all Chinese. My boss was Chinese, He had a whole different "price" he paid than the American company's Like Enjoi . i worked as a "product designer" for a Distribution company that made longboards and stuff for skate shops.

Totally bummed. To be fair, the dwindle brands weren't exactly super hot for a while, and maybe it's a good refresh now that they are doing their own thing.

Another great point to jacuzzi is the price point. From what I’ve seen they usually roll in around $20-$30 aud cheaper than other brands. Huge plus!

I’m skating a Jacuzzi, have to say my first thought was that it had the old enjoi shape. Steep kicks with a mellow concave. The pop feels great just have to hang the back foot off a bit more for 360 flips which feels kinda weird but kinda works better

@@LeonPaxton I opened up a “Dead stock” Enjoi impact light deck. I had in my collection, now I’m in love lol, I like it more than VX and Flight decks. The shape and concave and the mellow flatness. But the quality of the pop is insane. I like the stiffness. Makes me pop better on really crusty ground.

That's a good topic video. On DNS website the say their Resin formula allows boards to be stiffer and lihter. I half agree. Yes definetly stiffer, the stiffest, but Resin 7 always has felt the heavyest for me. I used to like them and I still like them a lot, having three setups with R7. But every since I tried Cliche 8.375 (made in same factory) - I've been missing that shape and mold. The only R7 equivalents to that particluar Cliche mold are all in 8'' versions, which is too narrow. They'd probably say that Cliche is too flexible to be transformed directly into R7, but I'd disagree. In short: I need more fingers of flat and mellower tail (17.6 degrees).
@LeonPaxton
@LeonPaxton 3 месяца назад
Thanks man 🙏🏽 Yeah they definitely are stiff! I usually ride pretty big boards so maybe I just don’t realise that they are heavier because I expect them to be heavy 🤔 Damn I forgot about Cliché! Are they still around?

Shining a much deserved light on the somewhat lowkey story... I wasn't really up to date on how the enjoi riders had gotten back together at Jacuzzi! I will definitely be getting a deck from them some time soon. Btw I thought dsm was kind of a part of dwindle, but I guess that's not the case? If so that's great because I love their wood...
@LeonPaxton
@LeonPaxton 3 месяца назад
Thank you 🙏🏼 It's definitely an interesting story but kind of sad how big corporations just take over like that! DSM & Dwindle were part of the same company but what from I've heard, DSM wasn't part of the Bravo Sports deal and is still owned by Globe which was definitely a good move by them!

I’ve been skating the same board since beginning of March and have been hot and cold on it. Are you riding 9 in trucks on it? I used 8.75 because I felt like it met the taper better.
@LeonPaxton
@LeonPaxton 3 месяца назад
Yeah I’ve got 9” Ace hollows and they pretty much line up with the outside of my board but 8.75” trucks would still be sweet. It would just slightly sit in on each side

On my third enjoi deck of the Jackson Pilz 9.125 shape. Glad they copy pasted over to Jacuzzi. The split top ply is a cool design too, I will have to give it a go... or maybe I will try a Herion egg?
@LeonPaxton
@LeonPaxton 3 месяца назад
Yeah it’s sick, I’m sure all the riders wanted to have the same shapes that they were used to as well! It is cool and they do that to make use of the ply off cuts so they’re not creating extra waste 👌🏽 Ooo that’s a tough one, Heroin are definitely king of the eggs but these Jacuzzi eggs are a good substitute and cheaper too 🤔

@@LeonPaxton they can perform well on non cruising stuff, you gotta push the limit of them, I do slappys with them non problem, I’ll skate in the dark no light on the ground with them at night and feel so safe still. Like rocks don’t exist. Another amazing OJ wheel is the Keyframes, they are more a hybrid cruiser wheel with a harder core and not as soft as the mini super juice. They are a 87a, which is perfect for insane crust, but you need to Ollie still and have pop. Best for like a ditch spot, gaps in the street, rough cement DIY spots. The slide is possible but not what I ride them for.

What size truck are you riding on the Jacuzzi? What’s it measure over the truck holes?
@LeonPaxton
@LeonPaxton 3 месяца назад
I'm riding 9" AF1 Hollows and the board is about 8.9" over the trucks so it fits basically perfect 👌🏼 I was already riding these trucks before this deck though so if I was going to get a new set of trucks specifically for this deck then I would go with some 8.75" wide trucks so they sit slightly in just a bit on each side but either doesn't really make too much difference
