How do I choose the right longboard from Bob Gnarly Surf for my skill level?

Our longboard skateboards collection caters to everyone—from beginners to pros. If you're just starting, look for boards with drop-through decks and softer, larger wheels for extra stability and comfort. Experienced riders might prefer stiffer decks and specialized downhill or carving boards for performance and responsiveness.

What benefits do drop-through decks offer on these longboards?

Drop-through decks lower the board's center of gravity, which makes balancing easier and provides a smoother, more stable ride. This design also makes pushing less tiring, perfect for cruising or commuting around town.

Are these longboards suitable for different terrains like city streets and hills?

Yes! Our longboards feature larger, softer wheels that grip well and absorb bumps across varied surfaces, making them ideal for city streets, boardwalks, and downhill hills. Whether you're cruising or racing, you'll enjoy comfort and control.

What materials are used in Bob Gnarly Surf longboards, and how do they affect riding?

We use multi-ply maple wood for our decks, combining durability with flexibility. This results in a responsive ride that can absorb shocks but still feels lively underfoot, enhancing both comfort and control whether you're commuting or carving.

How do I maintain my longboard to ensure it lasts and performs well?

Maintenance is simple: regularly check and tighten trucks, clean wheel bearings to keep them rolling smoothly, and inspect the deck for any cracks or damage. Keeping your longboard clean and stored away from moisture also helps preserve its longevity and performance.

What Makes Longboards Unique?

Longboards typically feature longer decks, ranging from 38 to 60 inches. This length provides stability and comfort, especially for long-distance rides or downhill racing. Unlike regular skateboards, many longboards are equipped with larger, softer wheels for better grip and shock absorption on uneven surfaces.

If you're interested in downhill longboards, you'll find models designed to offer maximum control at high speeds. These boards often have a lower center of gravity and a drop-through deck for added stability.

Choosing the Right Longboard for Cruising

For those who love smooth and relaxed rides, longboards for cruising are perfect. These boards usually have flexible decks and softer wheels to glide effortlessly over rough terrain. Ideal for commuting or leisure rides, they offer comfort and excellent maneuverability on city streets or boardwalks.

Our collection includes several carving longboards, which are tailored to provide fluid, surf-like turns. These are great for riders who enjoy carving up hills or cruising along winding paths.

Beginner longboards are designed with ease of use in mind. Their stability and forgiving design help newcomers gain confidence quickly. Most beginner boards feature a wider deck and soft wheels, allowing smooth rides on different surfaces.

For advanced riders, we offer professional longboards that cater to downhill racers and freestyle enthusiasts. These boards include special design elements such as drop-through decks, high-grade maple wood construction, and advanced trucks and wheels to enhance performance.

Materials and Design

Maple longboard skateboards are popular for their strength and resilience. Maple wood provides the perfect balance of flexibility and stiffness, making it a favorite material for many longboard makers. Our selection features many maple boards that blend traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. Multiple plies of maple are pressed together to create decks that resist cracking while maintaining a smooth, responsive feel underfoot. This construction offers excellent durability for daily riding, ensuring consistent performance whether you’re commuting, cruising, or practicing new techniques.

Drop-through longboard skateboards are designed for stability and ease in pushing. Their deck placement allows riders to have a lower center of gravity, which helps maintain control during long rides and downhill sessions. This style is favored by casual riders and serious freestylers alike. Reduced deck height also minimizes fatigue, making these boards ideal for extended distances, relaxed cruising, and riders seeking confidence and comfort on every ride.
