Frequently Asked Questions about Longboards
What longboard is better for beginners?
When it comes to longboards for beginners, it's generally recommended to go for a cruiser or drop-through style board. These types offer wider decks and softer wheels, providing stability and a smoother ride. Another good option is a pintail longboard, known for its stability and control. Opt for a medium flex or stiffness, as it offers a balance between stability and responsiveness. Smaller wheels (around 60-70mm) are often easier to control for beginners. Ultimately, personal preferences and intended use should also be considered. It's a good idea to try out different longboard skateboards or seek advice from experienced riders before making a decision.
Are longboards easier than skateboards?
Longboards are generally easier to ride than skateboards due to their longer decks, larger wheels, and greater stability, making them a better choice for beginners seeking a more relaxed riding experience.
What size longboard do I need?
The size of the longboard you need depends on your preferences and intended use. Longer boards (40 inches or more) are ideal for cruising, while shorter boards (30-35 inches) are more maneuverable for tricks and commuting. Consider your height and weight, and seek advice from our Tactics experts or experienced riders to find the right size for you.
