Cruiser
a standard skateboard, with a shape and setup
tuned for the realities of the road ahead.
with ease and confidence.
This year, we've seen a huge increase in demand for our Cruiser—big enough to merit moving our production equipment across town into a larger facility so we can expand our team and operations.
Amidst this move we've continued to receive orders and now have a backlog to work through as soon as we get the machines turned on—just a few more steps to go!
As of August 14, we expect Cruiser production to begin again at the end of the month and for new orders to start shipping about 90 days from the date they are placed. They may come sooner, but we prefer to under-promise and over deliver.
Thank you for your understanding and support!

SHAPE
Nimble in the city, stable in the mountains—the Cruiser is the ideal size for traveling any place.
The Cruiser’s deck is 33 inches long, just one inch longer than today’s common skateboards, but its wheelbase is six inches longer. This comfort-focused design places the wheels directly underfoot in a shoulder-width stance so you can spread out and take turns without having to stand on the tail.
The Cruiser’s standing platform is rockered from tip to tail and flat from side to side, offering a low center of gravity, increased stability and nuanced control.
When it’s time to make a quick pivoting turn or de-weight over a burly crack in the sidewalk, slide your foot back and dig in. The Cruiser’s kicktail is equipped with a replaceable skid plate so you can ride hard without wearing down the deck.
CONSTRUCTION
The Cruiser’s core is a sustainably harvested layup of aspen, with three sapele stringers. All our lumber is FSC Certified.
We machine deep, clearance-increasing wheel wells into the core prior to pressing to provide a wheelbite-free ride for wheels as large as 72mm while preserving the strength and water-resistance of the deck.
We then load the core into the press between two sheets of triaxial fiberglass saturated with Super Sap epoxy—a bio-based resin that requires less energy to manufacture, emits fewer harmful byproducts, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 33% compared to conventional petroleum-based epoxy.
Prior to the re-release of the Cruiser, it had been more than a decade since we’d made a composite construction skateboard, and we’re excited to be returning to our roots while staying true to our commitment to making a skateboard that is as good for the planet as it is for having fun.
Frequently Asked Questions
