Types of longboards & cruisers

Whether you are just starting out or an experienced rider: at Longboardcenter.co.uk you will always find the right board. In this overview, we explain the different types of longboards.

Drop-Through Longboards

The most popular type. The trucks are mounted through the deck, lowering the centre of gravity. Stable, easy to push and ideal for beginners and long distances.

Top-Mount Longboards

The deck sits on top of the trucks. Gives more grip and responsiveness in turns. Popular for downhill and carving.

Cruiser Boards

Shorter than a longboard, more agile and easy to carry. Perfect for short rides and city cruising.

Mini Cruisers (Penny Boards)

Compact plastic boards, lightweight and colourful. Ideal for children and beginners looking for a fun, portable board.
