Longboards | City Cruiser & Downhill
What types of longboards are there?
Depending on your riding style, a different longboard is suitable:
- City Cruising: relaxed rides through the city, large and soft wheels.
- Carving: fluid turns, similar to surfing or snowboarding.
- Downhill: stable boards for speed and long descents.
Longboard, cruiser or skateboard – which one is right for you?
The longboard is long, stable, and ideal for distance and speed. A cruiser is shorter and more agile for the city, while a classic skateboard is designed for tricks in the skatepark.
What you should look for when buying
- Deck & length (inches): from 32 to 38 inches – longer decks = more stability, shorter = more agility. For tall and heavy riders, choose longer; for children, shorter or a cruiser.
- Trucks: wide trucks for a smooth ride, responsive ones for carving.
- Wheels: large, soft wheels for comfort and grip.
- Bearings: ABEC 7–9 for a smooth, fast roll.
- Flex: soft flex for cruising, stiff for downhill control.
