44 Inch Longboards are the ideal length for ‘cruising’, navigating your local area or exploring new areas using a relaxing riding style involving pushing and steering.
Most 44″ Longboards are ‘Pintails’ classic shaped decks inspired by surfboards, combined with top-mounted trucks and big wheels pintails provide a smooth surf-like ride.
44″ Pintails are also good for carving, although riders interested in carving first and foremost will benefit from a slightly shorter, more responsive deck. 44″ drop-through longboards are a good choice for long-distance commuting.
The lower deck allows easy pushing and a nice flex that provides cushioning for your joints, essential for long-distance riding.
44 inches is not a bad length for Longboard dancing, although most dancers prefer slightly longer decks of 46″-48″
44″ Longboards don’t lend themselves well to tricks or speed style skating, disciplines such as freeriding, freestyle and downhill racing which are generally undertaken on shorter Longboards.
