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.
We machine deep, clearance-increasing wheel wells into the core prior to pressing to provide a wheelbite-free ride 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.
The road-side of the deck sports an ultra-durable nylon topsheet that protects the board from dirt and scratches, allowing you to take on turbulent terrain while keeping your Cruiser easy to clean and carry.
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 high quality skateboards that are as good for the planet as they are for having fun.
