TIPS ON GOOD CRUISERS

A LITTLE GENERAL ABOUT CRUISER BOARDS

A cruiser is usually a board that focuses on comfort and stability. Sometimes, but not always, they are longer in the model. However, a board that is too long can be difficult to maneuver if you are a child or weigh less. Cruising and downhill are two riding styles that are each other's opposites, you could say. The first classic longboard was of the shape pintail which is the teardrop-shaped model. A model that is still alive and is really nice to slide on. When cruising it can be nice to have a little flex Cruising sometimes involves “dancing”, which is a form of balancing act where you walk around/dance on the board while riding and turning. A really cool way to impress those you pass on the ride.

THE SHAPE

The board can be a pintail (drop-shaped) or symmetrical (i.e. the same in both directions). A pintail is usually a little slower in turns. This is because you do not create as much leverage/pressure on the rear truck as the board is narrower at the back. If you want a stable board, you can choose a pintail.

BOARD FLEX

A cruiser can often be nice to have a little flex in it. It makes it softer and more comfortable to have as transportation. It absorbs vibrations and makes the turns a little softer.

BOARD LENGTH

The length of the longboard is a matter of taste. It can be nice to have a little length on your cruiser since you usually have to kick a lot and gain speed. A longer board usually gives more stability than a shorter one. A length of between + 37″ is quite normal.
