Longboard count up to 5!


Now that all of us are riding, we finally have an equal board to rider ratio.

  1. Madrid Wave Rider 39" concave deck w/kicktail
  2. Madrid Swirl 42" concave deck id Swirl 42" concave deck
  3. Madrid Pavement 46.5" flat deck (x2)
  4. Madrid Skull 46" concave deck w/kicktail (my current favorite)
If all you know of skateboarding is the short boards you rode as a kid (or bought for your kids), you owe it to yourself to check out the current lineup of longboards. Whether you're looking at gentle slopes and bike path cruising, bombing mad downhills or commuting in style, there are plenty of great options out today and many made stateside. As you can see from our lineup we like to support Madrid as they offer quality products at fair prices and manufacture in the USA.

We have a mix of Gunmetal and Gullwing trucks and are split on our preferences so far. I swapped the Gullwing Charger trucks on one of our Pavements with the Gunmetal Double Barrels on the Skull and am very happy with the change. Next up is a set of 70mm Cadillac Cruisers with a 55mm contact patch for the Skull. Will post an update once I've ridden them for a bit.
