46″ Pintails provide a smooth surf-like feel and are ideal for laid back cruising around town or long-distance commuting, although they are pretty high off the ground.
Some long-distance commuters prefer drop-through decks closer to the ground and easier to push over long distances, although they are not as smooth as pintails.
Longboard dancing involves footsteps and fluid moves performed on the deck while it is moving.
Therefore a longer deck is required, and a 46-inch longboard is ideal for dancing.
46 inch Longboards are too long to perform tricks, although twin tipped dancing Longboards with kicks will cope with some freestyle moves.
Whether you’re a cruiser, commuter, or dancer, here are some 46-inch Longboards to take a look at.
