How to choose a cruiser skateboard for commuting in urban areas?

Santa Cruz has been refining the art of the "sidewalk surfer" since the 70s. For the urban commuter, you want a board that rides like a high-performance vehicle but feels like a couch.

Ultra-gummy wheels with a durometer of 78A or below turn "crusty" pavement into buttery-smooth rides and won't hang up on every stray pebble or crack in the sidewalk.

Longer "longboard" completes (Pintails, Drop Thru, Drop Downs) will provide the most comfortable ride and stability.

Shorter cruisers like our Shark or Street cruisers will feature more kick in the tail for more control in the busy streets, and are light enough to clip to a backpack.
