Common questions about longboards
A: The best longboard for beginners is a pintail or drop-through longboard between 38–42 inches. These shapes offer a stable, wide platform that makes balancing and foot placement easier. Look for softer wheels (78A–80A) for a forgiving ride on varied surfaces. Our beginner longboard guide walks you through the top picks.
A: Longboards are longer (33–60 inches), with softer, larger wheels designed for cruising, commuting, and carving. Skateboards are shorter (28–32 inches) with harder wheels suited for tricks and skate parks. If your goal is smooth transportation or downhill riding, a longboard is the better choice. If you want to learn ollies and flip tricks, a skateboard is the right tool.
A: Longboard size depends on your riding style. For commuting and cruising, a 38–42 inch board gives you stability without being too bulky to carry. For downhill and freeriding, 40–46 inches provides control at speed. Taller riders generally prefer longer decks, while shorter riders or those who want more maneuverability do well with 33–38 inch boards.
A: Longboarding is one of the easier board sports to pick up. Most beginners can balance and cruise comfortably within a few sessions. The larger deck and softer wheels make it more stable than a traditional skateboard. Basic skills like pushing, turning, and foot braking can typically be learned in an afternoon on flat ground.
A: For commuting, a drop-through or cruiser longboard between 36–42 inches works best. Drop-through decks sit lower to the ground, making pushing less tiring over longer distances. Pair it with large, soft wheels (70mm+, 78A–80A) to roll over cracks and rough pavement smoothly. A kicktail is useful for navigating curbs and tight corners in the city.
A: A quality complete longboard typically costs between $100–$250. Beginner-friendly boards start around $100–$150 and include reliable components straight out of the box. Mid-range boards ($150–$250) offer better trucks and wheels for riders who want more performance. Boards above $250 are usually aimed at experienced freeriders or downhill riders seeking premium components.
A: Most complete longboards sold at BuyLongboard arrive fully assembled and ready to ride out of the box. You do not need any tools or prior experience to get started. If you ever want to adjust your trucks for a looser or tighter turning feel, all you need is a skate tool, which is inexpensive and widely available.
