I had used this longoboard for 3 months in miami, and after all is not too much bad. I was a beginner and i had realized immediatly that It was't as good to turn as the other longboards of my friends and it had not a great control to cruis To the city. But it has a nice Speed even Though is not the best long if you are looking for a professional one.

For beginners and those who are on a budget,for sure. This is my first board and I have no complaints but I have ridden other boards that are much more smooth and carve a lot better I.e landyatchz and pintail boards.

Well thanks :) and ill take note of that but did you try loosening the trucks?

I used mine to cruise around and hills so I suppose it would be good for commuting. Keep in mind it's a bigger board that you'd have to lug around. Speed is okay but I upgraded the bearings in mine so it was faster.

No. Not meant for that wear and tear. It's a very light board, meant for beginner surfers at a young age.

No, spend the money and get a quality board. This board snapped inhalf while my daughter was riding down a hill. She ws not trying to do crazy stuff with the board as it is a long board used for cruising. The board broke all the way across the back screws.

Definitely. I would consider purchasing new wheels eventually though. The board is great for cruising though I have no problem with its everyday use.

Yes. Its a great board for the price. Just make sure to loosen the nuts when it arrives to get a better ride.

I first started with a bearings upgrade, which totally changed the feel of the board, then I threw on a set of Gullwing Sidewinder II Trucks, I don't recommend those trucks in particular due to having two kingpins, and the board has a big disadvantage with wheelbite with these trucks, and a bit of speed wobbles. I suggest a set of Paris' or something of the like.First, I'd start with bearings, and just work from there:)

Edit: My friend is 220 and he rides without a problem. This is a great board, I got it for him a year ago for his birthday and it's still in perfect shape.

Yes.... It's easy balance, wide, and good quality for a starter longboard. Best of all is the price.

I land board with my B3 using 15mph winds. I way 160lb, so 15mhp winds is perfect for me. anything more is to much since I am still a noobie

I don't see the point of that. Buy a board that you can carry, that's suitable for your weight, & that is suitable for your type of paddling. That should do the job!Edited to add that I'm very happy with my Greco board & paddle, & have had great customer service from the company as well.

Yes it is very good. That was a huge issue for me. Since switching from a pro glide to this about 9 months ago it is a total non issue.

Absolutely. I love that boat. Do not over inflate. You will get years of use.

Good board for the price. Upgrade the bearings and you'll be gravy for cruising.

It's a good cruiser but if you really wanna glide around then buy this and toss some $15 reds bearings on it or some thee bearing. The standard ones are smooth as heck but if you want ridiculous cruise distances then just pick up some bearings.

Not really.. this board is more for cruising than freestyle. Along with that, the wheels the board comes with are extremely gummy. They're quiet and grippy, good for cruising, but bad for sliding.

Any wheel really, abec 11 wheels is good for starters but it all depends on what you are looking to do with your longboard?
