Pintail Longboard Decks
Cruiser longboards are some of the best-selling boards and go from cheep to pricey, are actually great for carving and you will have fun like never before. They also sometimes called carving longboards. It is just a name.
Pintails are tear shaped to prevent the wheels from hitting the board when making a turn. This prevents wheel-bite. The shape allows for smooth, flowy carving and big sweeping turns, making it a favorite for people who enjoy cruising along streets, boardwalks, or downhill paths.
You can get alone the deck, or make it custom based on your needs. Add trucks, wheels (and some risers if needed), and hardware, and you are on your way to a complete longboard. Pick griptape to complete the package. Griptape not only helps with traction but also lets you customize the look of your board even more.
You can get pintail longboard decks for carving with either a design or blank from different brands, and they are available in different lengths and materials. You can get them from 36 inches up to 45 inches. Bamboo and maple are common materials, offering a good balance between flex, durability, and weight.
If you think you are going to do more than cruising eventually, then a longer board is better. Longer decks offer more stability at higher speeds and give you extra room to move your feet while carving or dancing.
Pintail longboards are around for a while and are probably the most well-known shape for longboards. They started to be made when surfers wanted to continue surfing on the concrete and are a mix of skateboards and surf longboards. This connection to surf culture gives them their unique style and riding feel.
