Styles of skateboard deck

Shortboard

Shortboards are the shortest style board and are designed and shaped for getting air and performing tricks. If you’re leaning towards street or park skating, a shortboard style deck will be a perfect match for you.

Cruiser

Cruiser boards often have kicktails, but are more designed for simply cruising around. The decks are typically mid-length. Cruisers are versatile and maneuverable, making them good for cruising the streets.

Old School

Old school boards typically have a flat nose and kicktails. They are usually asymmetrical, with a wider nose. Old school boards are an awesome choice for skating pools, ramps, or carving the streets.

Longboard

If you’re not interested in doing tricks and want a skateboard to push around on for transportation, longboard skateboards, or cruisers, are a great option. Some longboards are specifically designed for downhill racing. Downhill longboards tend to have a symmetrical shape, sit lower to the ground, and have wheel cutouts, which allow larger wheels to be used.
