A skateboard is a favorite for fun loving adventurous young men for cruising through traffic laden city roads. The longboard is only a longer version of the skateboard. Some ex skaters have been running companies making longboards and Rayne is one notable among them. These skateboards are used by youngsters for cruising, sliding, slalom racing, etc.

Joy related to riding longboards is because of the excitement derived. That tests the balancing strength of a skater. In addition, it tests the skill to move through sharpened curves without losing equilibrium. Knowledgeable skater is not merely delighted by any journey. Carrying out tricks play a part in the thrill realized.

A standard board measures about 84 to 150 centimeters in length and about 22.8 to 25.4 centimeters in width. They come with three axes. They are termed as tail axis, central axis and the short axis. The names themselves explain what they mean. Apart from the standard ones, one can get a longboard of medium size.

A medium sized board has length varying from 94 to 127 centimeters. These boards are mostly preferred by skaters because they are easier to manipulate while riding. The designs go on changing as skaters come out with more and more tricks. Their suggestions on shape, etc., are studied and implemented.

Longboards can be obtained with particular shapes that are in use. Depending on the application, these are named as bum tails, drop through decks, flat nose riders, etc. Pintails are for those who perform tricks, while drop decks are for the ordinary riders who prefer to ride close to the ground at high speed.

Surprisingly, a medium length Rayne longboard is a little heavier than the longer versions. The usual materials used for making them are maple, bamboo, fiberglass, etc. To streamline them computer technology is used. One can be sure of getting high quality longboard giving good performance for all maneuvers. Durability and comfort are also ensured in the product.
