The easiest way on earth to learn, and a true longboard to cross-step and nose-ride once you have.

Asked before you have to.
Will this fit in my car?
At 9'6" it's a big board - it usually needs roof racks or a truck/van. Measure your vehicle interior before ordering if you plan to fit it inside.
Can I nose-ride it?
Absolutely. The high volume and wide nose make a stable platform for cross-stepping and perching on the nose.
Is it heavy to carry?
About 20 lbs - significantly lighter than a fiberglass longboard of the same size, so it's much easier to carry to the beach.
Not sure it's the one?
