Overview

A neighborhood street or a smooth path is where this short Santa Cruz cruzer rolls, with a seven-ply maple deck, soft 78a wheels and a concave shape. The deck carries sand spray grip and graphics on top and bottom.

The reason to look is a small, rideable cruiser with soft wheels and a brand pedigree from the surfboard shaping room. The limit is terminology and fit, since the spec fields use a different board type and a rating up to adult weights on a youth board.

Who it's for

Youth riders of any skill level who want to cruise on smooth pavement will use the soft wheels and short deck. Riders wanting a longer ride, or trick skating, are better served by a different board.

Pros and cons

Cons

Performance notes

Soft 78a wheels absorb pavement roughness for a smooth roll, and the concave deck gives the feet some hold. The trucks and wheelbase set how it turns, with the listing offering the model and the wheelbase length. Grip tape is a sand spray finish.
