I want to get a longboard for cruising that's basically just a giant skateboard so I can transfer my existing skateboarding skills to a longboard.

Something with big wheels that would make a decent commuter would be ideal.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Edit: Thanks everyone! I think I'm going to go with the Arbor Shakedown. Going to keep this up in case others have suggestions for people in the future (or maybe I'll need a backup board lol)

Update: Aw shit, I went with the Arbor Shakedown but it's basically a normal sized board. That said, I'm still probably going to keep it because it seems like a pretty nice cruiser. Guess I'll have to pick up a long board some other time.

Feel free to make more suggestions, I'm still in the market lol

I’m way too late to this party. I got a Zenit Morning Wood while reducing my quiver as my grocery-getter/punptrack/cruiser board and it’s amazing! Not cramped like a street deck but I guess if I pulled myself together I could re-learn an Ollie on it.

That does look nice, thanks for the suggestion!
