Surf the Streets with Cruiser Longboards!

Surfing out of the sea? Cool! That's exactly the feeling longboard cruisers give you. Actually, at first, these types of boards were meant to have fun when there were no waves, but the good news is that now you can enjoy them anywhere.

But what are cruisers? Well, cruiser longboards are amazing boards for getting from one point to another without much effort. It is more common to see them around town, on-campus, or as transport to work or office as they are very practical. They tend to be used mostly on flat terrain, which is the easiest.

 The cruiser can be confused with a longboard or a skateboard because it has characteristics of both, but it also has unique features. The size is similar to a ''modern'' skateboard, but it has multiple shapes. It is common to find it only with a tail to make easier movements and some tricks, inspired by the models of the 70s, old school; but there are also with nose and concave to facilitate the tricks and to move in the bowl; and even plastic, flat, which are only to move.

The best thing about cruisers is that they are very varied, and you can find them in different shapes and sizes depending on the skating style you prefer or the function you want to give to your board. Cruiser longboards are also an excellent choice for beginners. Besides, you can get them with different designs or as blank decks to customize, we have several brands, and they are available in different lengths and materials.

Keep in mind that the shorter the longboard, the less stable it will be at high speed, but much easier to ride on campus or around town. Shorter longboards are also better for smaller or younger riders. You can also buy cruisers with a kicktail that is used for tricks, or you can buy one without a kicktail or with a top mount or drop through; it all depends on what style of skating you like the most.

As for the rest of the parts of the board, the cruiser's axles are also small as in the skateboard but the wheels. On the other hand, they are soft and a little bigger, ranging from 55 to 65 millimeters in diameter. This type of board is designed for flat terrain or hills and gentle slopes, being a bit more all-terrain.

Now, regarding materials, cruiser longboards come mainly in bamboo or maple, and sometimes in fiberglass or other material such as plastic. But if we talk about the most common materials, bamboo has more flexibility than maple; it is important to take this into account to identify which can be its weight since the ideal is that you take your board with you wherever you go.

The truth is that no matter the shape, size, or even the design, cruiser longboards are an excellent choice for any skater, from beginners to experts.
