How to choose a longboard

Our Skateboards

Since summer, we have added new types of rideable machines to the shop that you don't need a driver's license for. We were inspired by the global trend, and so penny boards and longboards have landed in our warehouses. But that doesn't mean we're done with freestyle scooters. No way! :D We want to expand your possibilities.

Penny

Have you ever seen a colorful plastic-like skateboard and wondered what it is and where to get it? This is a penny board. These boards have surpassed their popularity beyond the borders of Australia (where they originated) and have reached us as well. You can find penny boards (also known as candy boards) from the brand Area with us.

The plastic penny is a great alternative to a scooter. What's great about it is that you can get it in a wide variety of colors, it's relatively cheap, lightweight, and unlike a freestyle scooter, it fits nicely into a school locker. Even on a penny board, you can do tricks and mess around on the street or possibly. even in the park. You'll definitely be interested to know that there's no griptape on a penny - there isn't, but there can be, nothing prevents that. Other colors will be in stock by Christmas!!

Advantages of a Penny Board

• lightweight
• affordable
• compact
• weight capacity up to 80kg

Disadvantages of a Penny Board

• durability (made from hardened plastic)

With the Area penny boards we offer, everything is the same.

They have the same length (560mm), width (115mm), wheel hardness (78A - great for sidewalks and roads)... They only differ in color. The more interesting the color, the more complex it is to produce, and the higher the price. You can get your new penny from us for as low as 1292 CZK! So choose the one you like the most ;)

 

 

LONGBOARD

With us, you will find 2 types of longboards. For the city or a downhill ride, you'll appreciate a pintail with a Safari Kush or San Fran design, and for a great ride in the city or on bike paths and longer trips around towns, a drop thru with a Zebbie or Tribal Curves design will be perfect.

We have tested the drop thru type so far. Martin Nogol commutes to the office and goes shopping on a Zebbie, and our cameraman rides the city cycling circuit on Tribal Curves. Both are satisfied. The types of longs are the same. Both testers just sway and go. Zebbie is quite a soft longboard, so our cameraman, with his 100kg, preferred to go for the harder Tribal Curves.

Advantages of Longboards

• quality and durability (7 layers of Canadian maple)
• playfulness and softness of the board
• wide range of uses
• stability of the board

Disadvantages of Longboards

• price (which is balanced by durability)

Choose a longboard based on what you want it for.

If you're zipping around the city and want a board as a means of transport, you definitely won't go wrong if you choose Zebbie or Tribal Curves. On the contrary, uphill, respectively. from the hills, you'll appreciate the Safari Kush and San Fran boards more! You can get Longa from us for 3072 CZK!
