The Ultimate Longboard Skateboards Deck Guide

Skateboarding has become a major trend for people all over the world. Anyone of any age can choose a Longboard to ride well. Skating, usually on longboards, is the most popular activity. Longboards come in many shapes, designs, sizes, patterns, etc. As you research different kinds of decks and features, it may be difficult to understand how these features can help you as a rider.

Let’s look at some important information below about the Longboard Skateboards deck guide.

Structure of a Longboard

The characteristics of the longboard skateboards are listed below. Each longboard has these basic characteristics, regardless of the kind of the board. These are the following.

• The anatomical structure of the longboard deck.  The aircraft head is the part of the longboard deck that extends in front of the front bogie. The longboard nose can be of various shapes and sizes.
• Stern Longboard extends to the part behind the rear bogie. The end of a longboard can have various shapes and sizes. However, tails usually come in many shapes and sizes.

• Pan Part is a part of the long plank floor, located between the front and rear bogies. This is usually the largest seat on which the rider will stand. The driver controls the longboard in different riding modes (read more about these functions).
• The bolt hole (or bolt pattern) is where the driver connects the truck and equipment to the deck.
• "Effective Foot Platform" (usually abbreviated as EFP) precisely refers to the part where the rider can effectively switch the board with his feet.

• The longboard slide rail is located along the edge of the EFP. There are two types of rails: round and sharp. The circular rail is similar to the rail of the shortboard. Sharp slides are common on high-performance boards, free skis, and downhill slopes. The sharp guide rails can hold your shoes and keep your feet in place when descending rapidly. However, sharp rails are usually likely to chip, especially for the cheapest maple longboards.

Which Longboards Are the Best for Beginners?

For beginners, longboard skating can be an intimidating sport. If you have never skied or snowboarded before, this can be particularly daunting. Even if you are a beginner, you must have a good board! Choosing your first board is not so difficult. Here you can find some categories of longboard which may suit you best.

• The Sanctum Rapture

The Sanctum Rapture landing pad makes it an outstanding choice for entry-level people of longboards. The landing pad provides more stability than the top-mounted landing pad, and the drop creates beautiful pockets to hold your feet. Even better, because the platform is lower to the earth and it's easier to push!

The board will also remain appropriate for beginners! Rapture has a 3D miniature that even the most aggressive free rider can withstand. The flat W concave shape provides the maximum anti-skid support for the heel and toes. The regular double kick design allows you to make the most of your deck. For those who have just started or who have been playing for a long time, this is an optional deck.

• The Rayne Future Killer 35

Rayne Future Killer 35 is the best choice for free riders and riders downhill. But its circular design also makes it a great choice for learners. This model is of medium length and 35 inches. The 8play maple structure gives the board a certain degree of flexibility. It can absorb road vibrations while remaining very steady.

This is also a board adapted to your skills. When the time comes to break the speed limit, Future Killer is not far behind. The more advanced Rayne longboard provides you with the experience to offer you a good service when you advance.

• DB Longboards Bear 33

DB Longboard’s Bear 33 is another excellent entry-level board, both in terms of performance and value. Its size is 33”, which is easy to carry, but with a foldable design and flat footrest, there is plenty of legroom. The big wheels (included!) make this deck very easy to push, and perfect for beginners, hikers, or long-distance trips.

DB selected excellent parts for Atlas Ultralight Trucks and Cloud Ride Wheels. Stylish rockers and large footrests provide a variety of leg settlement options, allowing you to stay comfortable wherever you go.
