Santa Cruz Skate Mahaka Rasta Cruzer Skateboard (9.9 x 43.5-Inch)

This is my first longboard. I've been a skater since the early 80's and of course this board has been super fun for me. However I really bought this board for my wife and kids to both learn balance and to enjoy. Since it longer than a regular skateboard its much easier to balance on and therefore much more fun to ride. And the wheels are much larger and softer, this allows you to ride over most rocks that would normally send you flying off the board. So it's pretty near the perfect board for people who dont normally skate, and perfect for those who do but just want to cruse. In just a few pushes you can cruse about 4x the distance of a normal skateboard. So you can go much faster with way less work. And as an added bonus you get a bottle opener built into the board. Although when I opened a bottle in the house it did spill quite a bit, since you have to hold the bottle perpendicular to the board when using it. I'm sure there are other great boards out there, but I know Santa Cruz has a long history with skateboards and you just cant go wrong with this one

I love this board. I am not an expert at all, intermediate at best. I've had a Sector 9 longboard about the same size for the last 10 years which has been solid. I got this board and it's a little different but I really like the differences once I got a few rides in. The board is a little stiffer than my previous Sector 9 but I found that to be a plus pretty quickly. The trucks on these boards have some really good pivot or whatever you call it, so you can turn really well when carving/leaning. That combined with the a slightly stiffer board makes a great cruise down a street or sidewalk, no wobbles and you can still turn while you're building up speed with your back foot. I feel like I could carve some real downhill with this but I'm 33 and don't want to break bones and lose my career over it. The board could handle it though.

Everything was great, but the grip top seems to be a spray-on that looks like salt or sugar and gets all over.

I just got my board today and i love it. I was so excited to see the package sitting on my front porch because it was here 2 days before they said it would be here. I jumped right on and started riding. Ive never been on a long board before and it didnt take long before i was riding all over the place. The board is nice and large so my big size 13 feet can still move around on it. The bearings are Abec 3's but it rolls forever. The board is also very sturdy. I love it. Worth the money for sure.

It's a nice long board like other Santa Cruz boards I've bought except it bends a little bit more than my other Santa Cruz boards, the only problem is that the bottle opener or at least that's what it looks like it's for was on the wrong way and a different way than in the photo but that's nothing to complain about since a Philips can fix the issue.

Excelente compra

I have not skateboarded in years but when a friend of mine got a long board and I tried it, it was so much fun I had to get one for myself. This is an excellent board. The long boards don't turn very sharp but are very stable. Anyone can ride one. These boards can be ridden on many types of surfaces from side streets to sidewalks to driveways. It doesn't have to be perfectly smooth.

Great product

Great long board, nice and stiff deck and the bearings seem good as it rolls on for what seems forever! Makes me smile whenever I take it out.

La tabla está hecha de madera de arce, es 100% americana y lleva un pintail inspirado en las tablas de surf, detalle que te dará una sensación de estar surfeando una ola. Los acabados de la tabla son perfectos. Como siempre, Santa Cruz no defrauda en el apartado artístico y cuenta con un diseño elegante y, en este caso, muy adecuado con el nombre del propio longboard. Por último y como detalle curioso, esta tabla trae un abridor de botellas debajo de los ejes. Así que si te sientes algo cansado y quieres tomarte un descanso, siéntate, voltea el longboard y bebe. ¡Cheers!.

Habs vor ziemlich genau 1 Jahr für noch ca. 170€ gekauft. Wenn ich sehe wie günstig es mittlerweile ist würde ich es mir am liebsten nochmal kaufen :) Es war schon ordentlich in Gebrauch und ich kann nur positives berichten (abgesehen von meinen Schürfwunden). Sehr solide Verarbeitung verbunden mit einem schönen Design. Auch das aufgesprühte transparente "Griptape" ist noch vorhanden und erfüllt seinen Zweck. Den intergrierten Flaschenöffner hab ich noch nie benutzt aber sieht witzig aus. Nachdem ich die Achsen auf starrere Lenkung justiert habe war das Fahrverhalten auch sehr positiv. Im Lieferzustand war es einfach viel zu schwammig. Auch scheinen ganz vernünftige Kugellager verbaut zu sein, da wenig Rollwiderstand vorhanden ist. Ich kann das Board auf jeden Fall bedenkenlos weiter empfehlen und für den momentanen Preis von knapp 80€ würde ich sofort zuschlagen.

Je suis tomber amoureux de cette board! Rigide, fluide, gagne facilement de la vitesse. Parfaite pour le cruising! Et il y a le décapsuleur qui fait toute la difference Ahahah. Je la recommande !

Estaba buscando unas ruedas y ejes para una tabla y al ver este LongBoard por el precio que me salian solo los ejes y las ruedas ni me lo pense....lo compre entero....67 Euros con gastos de envio me salia más barato que comprar las ruedas y ejes por separado. Es producto esta perfecto, ni un rasguño. Los ejes en la descripcion pone que son Bullet 150, en realidad son mejores, Road Rider de 180. Perfecto!
