Product Description
When you want a compact cruiser for quick rides, the Santa Cruz Dead Shark Cruzer gives you a ready-to-rip setup in a 27.69" surfboard-inspired shape. It’s made for skaters who want a shorter board with unmistakable Dead Shark artwork underneath and bloody spray grit on top.
Skip the guesswork of matching parts. This complete setup pairs Krux 8.0 trucks with 55mm 78a OJ Super Juice wheels and Abec 3 bearings, so the key components are already specified together. The 7-ply maple construction gives you a clearly defined board build, while the 8.81" width, 15" wheelbase, 3.49" nose, and 5" tail make the shape easy to compare before you buy.

Santa Cruz Dead Shark 27" Cruiser Skateboard - Key Questions Answered
What is the Santa Cruz Dead Shark 27 best suited for?
It is designed for neighborhood cruising, short urban commutes, campus paths, boardwalks, and paved trails. The compact shape favors quick maneuvering over downhill speed or maximum long-distance stability.
Would this work well for a first-time rider?
Yes, the 27-inch footprint is more approachable and easier to manage than a full-size longboard. Beginners should still expect practice with balance, pushing, and turning control.
How does the ride feel on ordinary pavement?
The 60mm wheels with a soft 78A hardness are suited to comfortable cruising and help absorb small pavement imperfections. Its 7-ply maple construction provides a familiar, responsive feel.
What should I expect from its 27-inch size?
The shorter deck is easier to carry and the compact kicktail supports quick turns, curb adjustments, and crowded-path maneuvering. It prioritizes portability and agility over relaxed extended-distance stability.
How does it compare with a longer longboard?
This cruiser is more convenient to carry and turn in tight spaces, while a larger longboard generally offers greater stability for extended distances. Choose this model when city maneuverability matters more.

Skater since 1974, pool pipe and skatepark, I've ridden it all but these Carver C7 trucks were a revelation. Best for slow speed styling and generally hanging some art on mellow terrain.
Definitely a kick and worth trying.

I am loving this board so far! I reached out to LBUSA to get some help finding the right board for me. They were more than helpful and the process of getting help, ordering the board, and then delivery was flawless. I am excited with my purchase and am thrilled with the customer service along the way. Top notch!

Well built and super fun to skate on. Wheels work well on imperfect pavement and sidewalk cracks. Bearings are legit.

Kiddo got this board for Christmas, for us to ride on Route 66. Board is good quality. No name trucks, but they function well for her. She likes the Punked Speed Series wheels. We did put reds super bearings in it. The factory bearings do not roll near as well. For the price, for a complete, it is well worth it. This is our second Punked Longboard, and both have served their purpose. I would buy from this company, and Vendor again, without question.

Trippy assym setup with Rogue ZM1's and assorted wheels really rips for downhill! I also hope to run cones with it soon.
