Finding the Perfect Longboard for Your Style

From the thrill of carving to the tricks in the pool, longboarding is more than just a ride—it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re new to the scene or a seasoned rider looking to upgrade, you need a board that matches who you are and what you want to do. At Blide, we want you to maximize your style, from your board to your tricks. Here’s a quick guide to different types of longboards to help you choose the perfect one.

Carving Longboards

Designed to mimic the feeling of snowboarding, carving longboards are flexible and usually range from 85 to 105 cm in length. They’re perfect for riders who love the sensation of surfing on pavement, offering smooth, flowing turns.

Downhill Longboards

If speed and adrenaline are your thing, downhill boards are your best bet. Built to handle high-speed descents, these boards are robust and less flexible, ideal for the brave riders out there.

Cruiser Longboards

For urban riders who want to get around with style and comfort, cruisers are the most versatile option. They’re perfect for anyone looking for a practical board for everyday use.

Slalom Longboards

Precision, technique, and speed are key with slalom longboards. These boards are ideal for weaving through obstacles and showcasing your skill in slalom racing.

Pool Longboards

Built for aerial tricks in empty pools, pool longboards are a hybrid of lightweight and durable, designed for quick direction changes and jaw-dropping stunts.

Sliding Longboards

With harder wheels and a build similar to carving boards, sliding longboards are made for drifting. If you love the sensation of sliding on wet pavement, this is the board for you.

Dancing Longboards

Where dance meets longboarding, dancing longboards are a creative wave. These longer boards offer ample space for free movement as you perform your dance steps.

Electric Longboards

Innovation meets tradition with electric longboards, reaching speeds up to 39 km/h. Perfect for urban commuting, they represent the future of city mobility.

Remember, the perfect board is one that fits your style and needs. And don’t forget to always wear proper safety gear. Ready to find your direction?
