About

A longboard is a longer type of skateboard. Longboards are most commonly used for either downhill racing, slalom, or for the main reason of transportation. Due to its longer and wider base, the longboard is more stable, making the ride much safer and more comfortable than on a shortboard. Their greater weight makes them less suitable for many tricks, making most almost impossible, but contributes to a fluid motion by providing more momentum. Thus, a longboard will roll farther with a single push of the foot. Many people therefore prefer longboards to normal skateboards for cruising on streets and sidewalks. Longboarding is often compared to surfing on concrete, and the size gives riders the option of performing big turns and quick short carves just like on a surfboard.
