This is a great idea

get a riser and put cruiser wheels and done. feels a bit tall but pretty good

I like this idea!

This is a really solid idea. Def on the list

It’s super fun. It’s like the Landyachtz ATV Classic. They have wheel wells unlike most popsicle decks to avoid wheelbite so you don’t have to use crazy tall risers with thicc cruiser wheels

haha glad to hear that. It's an overall solid cruiser but the Dinghy is still the top dog in my eyes

I has thought just the same.

Same here haha

Cool! Stoked to help. Lmk if you need anymore help

Comet cruiser is high on the list. Definitely will do a review of it

Definitely on the way. After we buy and review a few more cruisers, we'll put together a long video going over the best of the best, comparing them all

I have the Arbor pocket rocket. It has the exact same wheels and I love them. Very comfortable and can handle almost any rough surface! I also have the LY ATV and the ride is not as comfortable as the pocket rocket.

Maybe in the future. We have got a lot of requests for that board actually

@@concrete-waves ok, we will see

Really solid insight. Thanks for this. I noticed quite a few people already complained to me about their spray-on grip wearing off. So if anyone is reading this, I'd recommend going for the models with traditional griptape

Hey Thomas, can't guarantee we'll get to it, but will keep it in mind

@@concrete-waves Thanks for your reply, and keep up the good content 👍

Always appreciate the support. Thank you!

Thanks Audrey! Thought that was a good way to cover things people actually wanna know and not guess

@@concrete-waves hey speaking of which, I've got a pretty easy video idea. Probably don't even need to buy anything. I was wondering if you could talk about how bushings work and what types and durometers you should use for different board setups. I've already done my research and figured out the problem I was having, but it would have been great to know about the correlation between weight and bushing durometer before I got wheel bite and completely ate it on my new board lol. Turns out, super squishy bushings don't work for a 260 lb guy 😂.

Niceee! I love the 85 caguamas 🔥

Happy to help, thanks for watching! Both Landyachtz and Arbor are solid brands you can't really go wrong with. The Oso review is coming, but probably won't be for a few more weeks. The main difference is the deck width. The Oso is 1" wider (10") compared to the Tugboat (9"). Personally I like a wider deck since it's easier to carve/ balance on, but it's all personal preference

@@concrete-waves Awesome, thank you so much! I’m leaning towards the Arbor Oso after hearing that - I wish there were more Oso reviews out there, but it seems like they’re both great bigger cruiser boards and I’d be happy with whichever I end up going with.

@@LaurenFairwx Yup, they're both solid. If you're not looking to do tricks and just cruise, I'd definitely go for the Oso for that extra deck width. It'll be much more enjoyable to ride

It's a solid deck for sure. Thanks Connor!

Yeah agreed! Seems to be a lot of people complaining about the grip wearing off too

This is awesome insight. Thanks for sharing. There have been a few others that mentioned the grip wearing off quick. Seems to be a problem with spray-on grip

I hope the wheels break in soon cause I literally have up on trying to do any reverts or speed checks so I been just bombing full speed 🚄 straight down hills and it's getting a little sketchy doing that instead of zig zagging and really enjoying the ride

Nice Mike. Stoked to hear that

Thanks as always Daniel. Appreciate ya

Oh jeez, that's dedication haha. Appreciate it!

@@concrete-waves insomnia keeps me awake for shred shack videos. I'm not mad 😅

Ayyy thanks bro! I appreciate you watching and dropping a comment

yewww. Thanks for the questions bro

You right. And there are a lot of people mentioning the grip wearing off too

Janice

Maybe in the future. Right now we'll be reviewing different cruisers to find the best one

Appreciate the support! Hope you're having a great summer with lots of shredding

@@concrete-waves I have 2 Boards set up, cleaned, oiled up bearings and new bushings, and when i finish my last exam for this semester on monday... Damn right i will!

@@Titanplattensegler4420 Ayy that's dope! Good luck on exams

It's going to be a tough learning curve on the Hamboards HST200 trucks since they carve very aggressively. Is it possible to learn? Absolutely, but it's going to be challenging especially if you've never skated before. I put together an article that goes over the top surfskate brands that I think will be helpful for you - shredshack.com/surfskate/ I would probably suggest you checking out Carver skateboards. Those are a nice balance of carvey but offer more stability compared to most other surfskate brands. If you need any more help let me know (email, IG dm or here)

@@concrete-waves I'll check both out. Thanks!

Don't know if you still need it answered, but I put 63mm Fatty Hawgs on my Pilsner and I haven't gotten any wheelbite. I also ride the trucks semi-loosened, so it should do you good. Best of luck!

All Dinghy models are similar and share the shape of the deck. The biggest difference is the width of the board, the width of the trucks and the diameter and wide of the wheels. - The Dinghy Classic is 8" wide, it has 105mm Polar Trucks and 63mm Fatty Hawgs wheels, 50mm wide. - The Dinghy Blunt is 8.6" wide, it has 130mm Polar Trucks and 60mm Chubby Hawgs wheels, 45 mm wide. - The Dinghy Turbo is like the Classic but has wheel flares that for more clearance and allow it to carry 72mm Plow King wheels, 62mm wide. - There are also variants of the Classic that share 105 trucks and 63mm wheels like the Dinghy Coffin, a little wider in the center and the Shape 9. All wheels are 78a durometer and stone ground finish for better an easyer slides.

@@ibonvicenteprieto3629 this is so detailed thanks!!! I don't understand why the Dinghy Blunt has wider trucks but smaller wheels? which one theoretically rides more stable? I have shoes size 44 should I just go for the biggest one?

@@wanchiz With your shoe size I would definitely go to the Dinghy Blunt. It is more stable and you have more space to place your feet comfortably. The Dinghy Blunt has smaller wheels because it is wider and has the same truck height as the Dinghy Classic, with 63 mm wheels you would have more possibility of wheelbite. There is also a version of the Dinghy Blunt, called Blunt Fender Paper Tiger that has wheel flares and even with the 130 mm trucks you can use 65 mm wheels or more.

@@ibonvicenteprieto3629 Dude, Ibon you the man! Thanks so much for helping out. Great insights. If you still have more questions, lmk! Happy to help

@@ibonvicenteprieto3629 Thank you so much !!!!

Will def do beercans... might be a little until we get to it.. but it's on the list

@@concrete-waves Thank you so much, I ordered the 30-inch Brewster longboard and I wanted to see what you thought of their boards.

Oh man there are soo many boards to review haha. Not sure if we'll get to it but it looks like a fun one!

Thanks for sticking around and supporting Austin. Appreciate it man. Both Arbor and Sector 9 are decent quality boards, so either would be fine. But if you want me to check out a specific board, drop a link or dm on IG. I'll help you out as much as I can

@@concrete-waves thanks bro

ahh yeah you're right. I've always been curious about those ATV boards

Definitely gonna do a sector 9 cruiser soon. You think the minimalist wave is the move?

Really? That's awesome haha

Just checked it on LY's website. Looks like a fun shape... not sure if we'll get to review it. But will definitely put it on the list

@@concrete-waves Thanks so much, I appreciate the efforts!

I’m looking at getting a cruiser to ride instead of my street board. I’m looking to do more riding than tricks. I’m trying to decide between the Pilsner and the oso. What would you recommend?

I briefly cover that in the Tugboat review video - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f8lhrLabrZqbeHk.html @ timestamp 2:32

Thanks as always Robbe. Hope you have a great one too!

Yeah it's very similar honestly. Plus both companies are sustainability-driven, which is awesome

I was deciding between the Pilsner or Pocket Rocket to review because they're very similar. I think it's safe to say the Pocket Rocket has similar components but is just overall smaller (trucks, deck width, length, wheelbase)

Bustin is on the list! So many boards haha

Hey, that's awesome! And yup, Arbor is a solid brand. You'll get a board that has good components with Arbor. Other brands you might wanna consider would be Landyachtz, Sector 9, Globe

@@concrete-waves ok thank you!

Yeah I think a fun little vlog here and there could be fun but it’s rlly up to him lol

Cools thanks for the suggestions. Definitely want to do more personality-driven stuff. Just tough to do it consistently since we all have different schedules. But it's in the future!

@@concrete-waves just do what u want rlly cuz half the reason I watch these is for ur chill personality lol 😂

@@concrete-waves I'm sure we would all be happy if you could only make these videos by yourself too.

Depends on your preference, but I would

ATV is on the list for sure. Slowly but surely getting to em haha

A wheel that does not have a shiny finish to it

Yup, what​ @D. P. L said. They basically sand down the contact patches of the wheels making it easier to slide without having to break them in

The Coyote is longer (30.75") and slightly wider (8.375")

Similar shape though. But the Coyote also has wheel wells that aren't grounded into the deck

@@concrete-waves thanks I was thinking about getting this bored and I love my loaded coyote

Thanks Krishnan. Always stoked to see a comment from ya. Thanks for sticking around

@@concrete-waves Shred shack team is awesome & Kind :) Pleasure is all mine :)

Dude 20ft heelside?! That's super impressive haha

@@concrete-waves awwwww ❤ thank you bro love yo vids man and since my dinghy is the only topmount i have rn its my sliding board and you learn to lean and crouch for sure but i even got some white thanes today on it and some road rash

I own a pocket rocket foundation :) and I have a feeling that the review would be pretty similar to this one.

They're very similar... the Pocket Rocket has similar components but is just overall smaller (trucks, deck width, length, wheelbase). Prob won't do a separate review for it since it's so similar

@@truthfulT Yup, exactly

Makes sense, I just happen to have one lol. Keep up the good work though, it’s much appreciated 🙂

Hey thanks Madison. Appreciate that!

Ayy thanks Rajesh! Appreciate you watching and dropping a comment

Thanks as always! Really appreciate you sticking around and showing support

Ahhh you're totally right. Should've mentioned that. I agree though, I'm not a huge fan of the look compared to other cruisers.

Nice! How long have you had it and how do you like it?

Yup, got the Globe Big Blazer, Comet Cruiser, and a Sector 9 cruiser on the list. Any other recommendations?
