Although originally designed as a toy for surfers, Longboarding has rapidly devolved into a popular andﾠlegitimateﾠextreme sport that's both challenging and rewarding. When purchasing your first longboard it's important to purchase the right type of board for you as there are several shapes and designs which'll drastically affect how you're able to ride. We'd recommend looking over the different types of longboards to find a style of board that most closely fits your style of riding.

The different types of Longboards

• Speed/Racer - Speedboards are designed with an ultra-stiff deck for maximum stability and speed. Generally at the cutting edge of design, these top-end boards tend to be more expensive although boast the best specs. ﾠGenerally fitted with RKP (reverse kingpin) trucks which boasts the stability at top speeds. These boards are perfect for riders looking to race or simply to enjoy the ultimate speed rush.

• Freeride/Sliding - These carving longboards are designed for zipping in, out and around obstacles. With the low height of the deck, it's possible to feel every movement - similar to snowboarding. The soft wheels are designed to easily slide making it easy to drift around corners. The decks are generally stiff but with enough flex to allow complete control when riding. Some of these boards have kicktails or noses which allow for progressive tricks.

• Cruiser - Cruiser longboards are middle-of-the-road boards which give you the rider more options on how to ride. These boards are designed to give a smooth, comfortable ride and are great for novices and pros alike. They tend to have a flexible deck and large, soft wheels which gives excellent suspension when riding.

• Hybrid - These boards are very similar in shape to standard skateboards except longer. You get all the benefits of a longboard (speed, control and comfort when riding) but are also able to land jumps and tricks at your local skatepark.

• Mini - These mini boards are perfect for commuting from school, work or college and are easily stashed under the desk or in your locker! The short deck and wheels allow for quick starts and sharp turns with minimal effort.
