Mini longboards are some of the greatest things to happen to this world because they have the same nimbleness and portability of a regular skateboard but ride smooth and fast just like a longboard. With the urban terrain around us usually being poorly maintenanced, unless you live in Beverly hills chances are you're going to like the way a longboard feels a hell of a lot more than a regular board with some 50mm 1000a wheels. We have plenty of them so feel free to snag one up, or if you can't decide just collect them all!

Stella longboards
Stella longboards produces some pretty Stellar longboard decks for a pretty cheap price. As far as cruiser go they compete with the best of them and they're not made with inferior parts. If you're low on cash or don't know what to snag up for a present go ahead and give these guys a shot, you won't be dissapointed.
Z flex longboards
Z flex longboards was inspired by the dogtown boys themselves and their banana boards. These little pintail longboards are some of the best boards you can buy for their 100 dollar price tag bar none. These are made with some pretty high grade materials for what they are and if you're just hopping into the longboarding game look no further, you can always upgrade if it feels inadequate and Z flex is nowhere near that.
Santa Cruz longboards
Santa Cruz longboards has been around since day one and they have some pretty wonky decks that you can really get a kick out of, also their old school skateboards are some top notch stuff and its also nice to get in touch with some newer looks with some older feel. If you enjoy diversity then you're going to love browsing through the Santa cruzes.
Rayne longboards
As much as I would love to go on about Rayne longboards all night I'll keep it short. Rayne longboards is an amazing company that focuses on downhill and freeriding longboards. Their team is comprised of some of the most talented people to ever set foot on deck and their decks are designed especially for them, which means you're riding exactly what the pros are. This is an amazing company and if you can shell out the extra sheckles it's worth every penny.
Penny longboards
Penny longboard skateboard are some of the most fun and visually customizable boards out there, they have so many different colors and schemes it's really easy to match your style. Not to mention you can snag these bad boys up for a mere $100 for a 22" or $115 for a 27". Even better they're all recyclable because they're made completely out of plastic and the chances of them breaking are honestly slim to none. These are some of the most durable cruisers out there no doubt.
Palisades longboards
Palisades longboards are about the equivalent of madrid with the exception of maybe two boards that they put a lot of work into. Being a cheap board really doesn't mean much and what they do bring to the game is a wonderfully functional longboard that even if you somehow did manage to break it within the time you felt it didn't pay itself off you probably wouldn't mind buying another just because well they're cheap, but don't let that make you think they compensated for quality here.
Original longboards
So I'm going to attempt to be as unbiased as possible here. Original longboards is a very popular company that put out one of the most popular freestyle decks to date, which would be the apex. Everyone and their dog has probably at one point at least considered an original because even the name alone makes you kind of want to buy it. Overall, even though they're a little pricy they do bring quite some spice to the table.
Omen longboards
We Only carry 4 Omen longboards so I haven't yet had the chance to really test them other than my friends, but overall they're extremely sturdy boards and I've always like the idea of smaller companies, they have a lot more time to really perfect the couple of longboards that they do put out instead of being build happy and coming out with a new shape every week. If you want a board that shreds and only a handful of people ride be sure to pick up an Omen.
Never Summer longboards
Never Summer longboards are another group out there that make a lot of downhill boards as freeriding and speedboarding are probably the most popular niches in longboarding to date. If I weren't so biased toward a couple of other brands and they made it into the game a little bit earlier I would probably be on one as it is, they produce great boards for pretty reasonable prices.
Madrid longboards
Madrid longboards is really great about coming up with highly functional designs, throwing on some pretty cool graphics and dishing these babies out pretty cheap. Honestly there's no reason to buy a blank longboard when you can get a hold of a Madrid for as cheap as they are, but hey everyone has their preferences. These make great gifts for others and even better ones for yourself. Be sure to check these guys out if you haven't already
Loaded longboards
Known for their great selection of cruisers and dancers, Loaded longboards brings a great vibe to the table because they don't use traditional wood in any of their boards. Nowadays everyone's hopping on the green save the planet theme and that's just what Loaded does best. They're expensive, yes, but they also produce some of the most wonderfully comfortable longboards to ride in the business.
Landyachtz longboard company
Landyachtz longboards is pretty top tier amongst the other longboard brands out there, and while they do run a little bit on the pricier they deserve every right. Landyachtz invented what is probably still the most used downhill board (the evo) and it to this day still wrecks it competition. But that's not all they make, everything they have is extremely high quality and there's enough variety in their repertoire to support any and everyones needs.
Gravity longboards
Gravity longboards have been around for quite some time and they're well known for their unique cuts, massive cruisers, and miscellaneous sponsored boards, I mean who wouldn't sport a corona familiar skateboard deck. Gravity has designed some pretty dank decks for some pretty fair prices, if you want a board that will stand out amongst the others Gravity is a great brand to check out.
Globe longboards
Sure while Globe longboards aren't the most sought after longboards on the shelf they get the job done and they get the job done cheap. And it's not like Globe delved into the longboarding world with no prior knowledge to skating, before boards they made shoes, that were ergonomic and specially designed to take the everyday thrashing that is skating. If you like novelty type boards or just enjoy the basic everyday cruiser globe makes a great product.
E-go longboard company
The E-go longboard company while it may be only one board they produce has broken the bounds of boarding by adding electricity and a whopping speed of 15 mph around town, all for a couple of hours on the charge you can ride around for about 3-5 hours. The E-go is just the first step to the next generation of alternative longboarding transportation, they sport a great product and its only up from here.
Dusters longboards
While Dusters longboards may not be world reknowned they've done a great job at providing people around our area (a little college town) with great mini longboards that cheap, portable, and can weave trough foot traffic with ease and for that, I'm sure the majority of us would thank them. If you've ever had a hard time deciding on a cruiser check them out they have some great stuff fully set up with some pretty decent gear for the price they shoot you.
Bustin longboards new york
Bustin Longboards came straight from the biggest city in the states and they did not fail to impress, constantly coming out with quirky but completely functioning boards they've done a great job by not copying everyone else and bringing fresh designs to the old and cliche scene of longboarding. While I haven't had the chance to ride many, you can tell just from their descriptions of the boards that they put a lot of time and pride into making their boards.
Arbor longboards
Arbor longboards are one of those really known brands just like Sector 9 longboards except Arbor has always been sought after for their beautiful koa and bamboo boards. They were really one of the firsts to make bamboo boards popular and the things they have done not only for representing longboarding but providing people with quality wood to push will never go without the community's gratitude.
Sector 9 longboards
Sector 9 longboards has been around for as long as I can remember and is without a doubt one of the most prestiged companies out there. Everyone and their mother owns a Sector 9 and when longboarding comes up its one of the first brands that pop into peoples heads, and for a good reason too. Sector 9 has always made high quality boards that are extremely affordable and for that they will always be at the top of the charts.
