What Varieties of Longboards Are Available?
We provide an extensive array of longboards tailored to every discipline. Below is a guide to the most prevalent types of longboards:
Cruising and Carving Longboards
If you desire a surfing experience on flat surfaces or gentle inclines, cruising and carving longboards are ideal. These boards are perfect for commuting, boardwalk sessions, or gliding around your locality. Featuring responsive trucks and flexible decks, they promise smooth, flowing turns.
Freeriding Longboards
Freeride longboards are crafted for sliding, switch gliding, and creative descent down hills. They are engineered for balance and control at moderate to high speeds. If you want a longboard that allows you to master slides and incorporate downhill techniques, freeride offers a balanced compromise.
Downhill Longboards
Downhill longboards are designed for speed and precision. Focusing on high-velocity stability and control, these longboards typically have stiff decks, low centres of gravity, and grip-centric setups. If you crave an adrenaline rush, this is your destination.
Dancing Longboards
Dancing longboards are designed for a combination of footwork, balance, and graceful motion. Featuring lengthy decks, they provide space for cross-steps, spins, and manuals. Longboard dancing is all about creativity and expression, prioritising rhythm over speed. It’s a perfect choice if you love technical maneuvers and seek a platform to craft your own style.
Freestyle Longboards
Freestyle longboards are tailored for tricks, flips, and all-around versatility. Typically symmetrical with kicktails on both ends – unlike directional shapes – they facilitate movement in any direction and combine technical skating with traditional longboarding.
Are Longboards Suitable for Beginners?
Longboards certainly offer a beginner-friendly entrance into skateboarding. With larger decks and softer wheels, they provide increased stability and smoother control compared to short skateboards, aiding in balance development and comfort on a wheeled board. For newcomers, a longboard is a superb choice for building confidence.
Longboards are less nimble than trick-oriented skateboards. If you are focused on technical tricks, vert skating, or street skating, a symmetrical popsicle-shape skateboard is the preferred choice. However, if you enjoy cruising yet seek more agility, you might consider cruiser skateboards.
What Longboard Is Optimal for Beginners?
Your initial longboard should instil stability, offer easy turn responsiveness, and navigate rough surfaces without issue. Longboards designed for cruising generally offer these attributes. As a novice, there's no necessity for a high-end model – a budget-friendly, well-balanced longboard will suffice, and you can upgrade individual components over time.
We have an extensive range of beginner-friendly complete longboards. Each setup is thoughtfully selected to ensure you start with confidence and control.
Are Longboards Appropriate for Children?
Indeed, longboards can be an excellent option for youngsters – particularly those more inclined to cruise rather than learn tricks on a conventional skateboard. To simplify matters, consider a model specifically aimed at children.
When purchasing a longboard for a child or young beginner, size and stability are crucial. Opt for a deck length between 28 and 36 inches, which is manageable for smaller skaters.
The Benefits of Choosing a Longboard for a Child
Longboards generally offer easier control for children. Their wider decks and extended wheelbases assist in finding balance. Large, soft wheels also absorb vibrations and smoothly navigate over small obstacles – like pebbles or pavement cracks – which reduces the likelihood of unexpected falls.
Cruiser skateboards are another reliable option for children interested in cruising rather than performing technical tricks. Many cruiser boards share the smooth-rolling and stable characteristics of longboards but in a more compact form. For youngsters with shorter legs, a cruiser can be an ideal compromise.
Lastly – safety is paramount. Ensure your child consistently wears a helmet and protective equipment.
