FAQs
What is the main difference between a cruiser and a standard skateboard?
The main difference lies in the wheels and deck shape. Cruisers typically feature larger, softer wheels (often 60mm+ with a lower durometer) that absorb vibrations from cracks and pebbles, providing a much smoother ride on rough pavement. While standard skateboards are designed for technical tricks and skateparks, cruisers are optimized for commuting, comfort, and effortless travel from point A to point B.
Are cruiser skateboards a good choice for absolute beginners?
Yes! Cruisers are excellent for beginners because they are generally more stable and easier to balance on than traditional skateboards. Because the wheels are softer, the board won't "catch" on small stones as easily, which reduces the risk of sudden stops. Their compact size makes them more maneuverable than longboards while still offering a comfortable platform for learning how to push and carve safely.
How do I choose between a traditional cruiser and a surfskate (like Carver)?
It depends on your riding goals. A traditional cruiser (like a Landyachtz Dinghy) is great for pushing and general transportation. However, a surfskate (equipped with special trucks like the Carver CX or C7) is designed to mimic the feel of surfing on land. Surfskates allow you to "pump" the board to gain speed without your feet ever touching the ground. If you want a board for tight carves and a surf-like flow, go with a surfskate; for a reliable daily commuter, a traditional cruiser is best.
