Longboard Skateboards

Longboarding has carved out quite a niche within the outdoor sports industry.

Longboards are basically a skateboard with a longer and sometimes wider shape used for longboarding. They are most commonly used for either downhill racing or transportation. Although in the last couple years the sport has began to evolve. Their are many forms of longboarding which is one of the reasons the sport is growing as a whole. Longboards can be shaped in various different ways, depending on the type of riding intended. Their greater weight and bulkiness makes them less suitable for many skateboarding tricks, but contributes to a fluid motion by providing more momentum. Longboards were originally intended to surf the streets.
