Cruiser Decks

Defining a Cruiser Deck

These decks hark back to the iconic skateboards of the 1970s. Like those old-school models, cruiser skateboard decks are distinguished by their distinctive shapes and attractive graphics. Unlike many contemporary skateboard decks, cruiser decks offer a more directional form, featuring a flat nose and a tail with a kick. Additionally, they may possess a gentler concave or none at all.

As implied by the name, cruiser decks are tailored for navigating around the city. While basic tricks can be executed, the scope is limited because these decks are not crafted for performing stunts.

Choosing the Right Size for Cruiser Decks

Your personal preference will largely dictate the size you select. Cruiser decks can range in length from 25 to 34 inches, and in width from 7.5 to 10 inches. Shorter decks suit younger and smaller riders, whereas mid-sized decks are versatile enough for riders of any age or skill level.

Though cruiser decks serve a purpose similar to some longboard decks, their smaller size gives them an edge in busy city settings. You might also consider opting for a mini cruiser deck, which is comparable in size to a Penny Board.
