Commuter - Longboards for general cruising, ideal for experienced skaters and beginners alike. Never make the boring mistake of walking again!
Carving - Deep carves, boardwalk cruising and mellow hills are calling you. You'll find the longest wheelbases in this category meant for big turns and big fun.
Mounting Style
Top Mount - The classic skate mount. Trucks are mounted from the top to sit flush with the bottom of the board for that proven ride and feel.
Nose & Tail
Taper Tip - Based off the 90’s style pointy shape nose and tail but with a current popsicle width.
Deck Profile
Drop Down - Drop Down decks are constructed to dip down below where the trucks are mounted which means you're closer to the road for a really stable skateboard.
Deck Shape
Symmetrical - If you ever think you want to ride your board backwards (freeride/freestyle) then a symmetrical longboard shape will help you with the learning curve. Other than that, it's all preference.
Deck Features
Cutouts - Cutouts around the wheels provide the extra space required to prevent wheelbite.
Concave
Mild Concave - Most longboards have a mild concave to give your feet natural curves to lock into. Choosing the right concave can be tough because it's all personal preference but mild concave is always a good place to start.
Deck Thickness
9-Ply - 9 plies sandwiched together for solid stiffness and control. Ideal for heavier riders; this is one of the most durable and stiff constructions.
