The Lander RIO Cruiser Skateboard is a premium compact cruiser skateboard designed for riders who want portability, performance, and sustainability in one stylish package. Measuring just 24.5 inches long, the RIO is the perfect companion for city commuting, campus cruising, travelling, and everyday adventures where a full-size board can feel cumbersome.
Built with Lander's innovative recycled nylon construction and fitted with premium components throughout, the RIO delivers a smooth, responsive ride that's equally at home carving city streets, navigating urban environments, or cruising along the seafront.
Complete with Paris Truck Co. 108mm Street Trucks, smooth-rolling 59mm 80A Lander Wheels in Translucent Grey, and high-speed ABEC 7 Stainless Steel Bearings, this complete cruiser skateboard is ready to ride straight out of the box.
Don't let its compact dimensions fool you. The Lander RIO has been engineered to deliver a confident and stable ride while remaining lightweight and easy to carry. Its shorter wheelbase and responsive setup make it incredibly manoeuvrable, perfect for weaving through busy streets, commuting to work or college, and taking on spontaneous skate sessions wherever the day leads.
Unlike traditional wooden cruiser skateboards, the RIO deck is manufactured from a proprietary blend of 100% recycled nylon sourced from abandoned ocean fishing nets and reinforced with glass fibre for enhanced strength and performance.
The result is an incredibly durable, waterproof cruiser deck that won't warp, crack, or absorb water, making it ideal for year-round riding and unpredictable weather conditions.
Lander's advanced recycled nylon formula naturally absorbs vibrations and road chatter, delivering a smoother and quieter ride than many traditional maple decks. This helps reduce foot fatigue during longer journeys and creates a more comfortable experience on rough urban surfaces.
Whether you're commuting daily or simply cruising for fun, the RIO keeps every ride fast, fluid, and enjoyable.
The RIO features Lander's patented diagonal hole pattern, creating a unique flex characteristic that promotes a flowing heel-to-toe carving motion similar to surfing or snowboarding. Combined with the deck's subtle concave profile, riders enjoy a responsive and intuitive feel that encourages smooth turns and playful riding.
Forget worn-out grip tape. The RIO features Lander's patented integrated grip system, moulded directly into the deck. Each perforation includes a textured tread pattern that provides dependable traction in both wet and dry conditions, ensuring confidence and control wherever you ride.
