Collection: The Heated Wheel

"It has come full circle."

Neil Blender's Says..

Neil Blender: "Polarizers are hot, dude. It's basically a skateboard. It'd be like if skateboarding continued without anything getting wider. Like when roller skates came out, that's how it happened. People cut up roller skates. That's all we're doing. And now, with all the good equipment, the good urethanes, it makes it so rad. The fast wheels, bearings, and bushings are all about bushings, dude— and pivot bushings! It all ties together."

Neil Blender: "simply put, a Polarizer is the name of the model from The Heated Wheel. I've been fascinated by convex" just a little though" ever since I got a board from a thrift in Ohio that had this; it's an oak board, early 70's."

Neil Blender: "Once I realized you can get this feeling by turning a modern board upside down, I've been stoked. When Steve Claar saw it, he said, "you should call that a polarizer because people are either going to like it or hate it" @claarsteve  There's also a Peter Hewitt model on Heated Wheel, it's smaller and flat based off early 70's shapes @goonsac Polarizer is based off early 60's surfboards, a Hap Jacobs "pig" model to be specific. @jacobssurfboards" "both boards are 6" wide and use roller skate trucks"

Neil Blender: "Pretty much, I encourage people to cut up old boards and experiment, find roller skates, you see a pair of skates at a thrift store, and that's pretty much it for them, they'll probably never get ridden again by anyone maybe some kid that wants to roller skate, but that's pretty rare so it's cool to bring those trucks back to life and use what was already in our past "
