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 Features
Kicktail - Kicktails on longboards can be used to ollie, manual, and do flip tricks just like on a regular skateboard.
Deck Shape
Directional - Directional decks may have a dramatically asymmetrical shape or just a slight taper which can be great for anything from mild cruising to intense downhill; but of course it's all just preference.
Deck Features
Wheel Wells/Flares - For the boards that don't need full wheel cutouts, wheel wells are beveled out of the board to give the extra clearance needed to avoid 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
7-Ply - This is the standard for a reason; 7 ply construction gives you a deck that is durable, sturdy and poppy without breaking the bank.
Deck Construction
Hard Rock Maple Construction - This is the standard of all skateboards and longboards. Hard rock maple has proven to be durable and responsive underfoot.
Resin-7 Construction - These skateboards are single pressed, meaning that each board is the same as the one pressed before it. These decks are considerably lighter, stiffer and longer lasting than traditional 7-ply construction.
Wheels
Globe 65mm 83a Wheels - These wheels are designed to let you cruise over bumps for a smooth, carefree ride.
Bearings
ABEC 7 Bearings - ABEC 7 bearings are highly precise and turn faster for longer. A precise bearing means that it has a higher tolerance to heat caused by friction.
