Longboards sit at the crossover between skating and surfing — longer, more stable, and designed for carving and cruising. The low, flowing style of longboard skating translates well to wave riding, and a session on tarmac is a decent substitute when the conditions aren't cooperating. A fun toy if you have a good spot nearby.
All longboards here are from Atom, who've been making accessible, well-specced boards since 2005. Both the Drop-Through and Drop Deck models run at 41 inches with 9.5" wide maple decks, reverse kingpin trucks, and 70mm wheels — a solid all-round setup for cruising, campus riding, or downhill. The difference between the two comes down to deck geometry: the Drop Deck sits lower to the ground for maximum stability, while the Drop-Through threads the trucks up through the deck for a slightly different ride feel and easier pushing on longer distances.
