Longer boards are better for slow cruising and offer better balance. Shorter boards, often called cruisers, are designed for speed and agility.
They can make swift, 180-degree turns and are good for carving through the streets and up and down sidewalks.

Skateboards use lifted edges and a concave design that’s best for controlling the board while performing tricks.
