What Varieties of Longboards Are Available?
Our diverse selection of longboards caters to every discipline. Here’s an overview of the most prevalent types of longboards:
Longboards for Cruising and Carving
For those seeking a surf-style ride on flat terrain or mild slopes, cruising and carving longboards are ideal. They are excellent for commuting, boardwalk rides, or neighbourhood cruising. Equipped with responsive trucks and flexible decks, these boards enable smooth, flowing turns.
Longboards for Freeriding
Designed for sliding, switch gliding, and creative hill descents, freeride longboards excel in balance and control at moderate to high speeds. If mastering slides combined with downhill tactics is your goal, freeride longboards offer the perfect balance.
Longboards for Downhill
Focused on speed and accuracy, downhill longboards are engineered for stability and control at high velocity. They typically feature stiff decks, a low centre of gravity, and setups focused on grip. If you seek an adrenaline rush, this is the category for you.
Longboards for Dancing
Longboards for dancing emphasize footwork, balance, and fluid motion, featuring long decks with room for cross-steps, spins, and manuals. More about rhythm than speed, longboard dancing allows for creativity and expression – ideal for those who relish technical maneuvers and want to craft their own style.
Longboards for Freestyle
Freestyle longboards are created for tricks, flips, and unmatched versatility. Typically symmetrical with kicktails on both ends, they facilitate movement in either direction, blending technical skating with classical longboarding.
Are Longboards Suited for Beginners?
Longboards offer a beginner-friendly introduction to skateboarding. With larger decks and softer wheels, they provide enhanced stability and smoother control compared to short skateboards, facilitating balance and comfort on a wheeled board. For newcomers, a longboard is an excellent choice to build confidence.
While not as agile as trick-oriented skateboards, symmetrical popsicle-shaped skateboards are preferable if you are interested in technical tricks, vert skating, or street skating. For those keen on cruising but desiring more agility than a longboard, consider exploring cruiser skateboards.
Which Longboard Is Ideal for Beginners?
Your first longboard should be stable, responsive to turns, and capable of handling uneven pavement with ease. Longboards designed for cruising typically offer these attributes. As a beginner, starting with a reasonably priced, well-balanced longboard is sufficient – allowing you to upgrade individual parts over time.
Our range includes a wide array of beginner-friendly complete longboards, each setup meticulously selected to instill confidence and control from the outset.
Are Longboards Appropriate for Kids?
Absolutely, longboards can be an excellent option for children – especially those more keen on cruising than mastering tricks on a standard skateboard. Selecting a model aimed at kids can simplify the process.
When purchasing a longboard for children or young novices, size and stability are crucial factors. A deck length ranging from 28 to 36 inches is optimal for smaller skaters and ensures easier maneuverability.
Benefits of Acquiring a Longboard for a Child
Longboards generally offer easier control for kids, thanks to their wider decks and extended wheelbases, which facilitate balance. The large, soft wheels absorb vibrations and roll smoothly over small obstacles, such as pebbles or pavement cracks, thereby minimizing the risk of abrupt falls.
Cruiser skateboards also present a robust choice for kids drawn more to cruising than technical tricks. Many cruisers share the smooth-rolling, stable feel of longboards but are more compact. For children with shorter legs, a cruiser can strike the perfect balance.
Lastly – safety first. Ensure your child always has a helmet and protective gear on.
