Commuter - Longboards for general cruising, ideal for experienced skaters and beginners alike. Never make the boring mistake of walking again!
Mounting Style
Drop Through - Drop Through boards lower your center of gravity giving you a more responsive and stable ride.
Deck Profile
Standard - Standard decks are the most predictable and some swear they break-in better than other profiles. Great for any skill level.
Deck Shape
Symmetrical - If you ever think you want to ride your board backwards (freeride/freestyle) then a symmetrical longboard shape will help you with the learning curve. Other than that, it's all preference.
Deck Features
Cutouts - Cutouts around the wheels provide the extra space required to prevent 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
8-Ply - 8 plies sandwiched together for solid stiffness and control.
Trucks
180mm Slant Inverted Trucks - These trucks come with reversible hangers. They come stock at 50°, which provides greater stability at high speeds but if you want to execute tighter turns flip the hanger to 54°.
All Slant trucks are guaranteed for life.
Wheels
Globe 70mm 83a Wheels - Hard enough for sliding through turns and drifting, yet soft enough for riding over craggy streets without getting hung up on rocks.
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.
