Playshion Longboard Skateboard Cruiser | 39 Drop Through Long Board | 42 Pintail Longboards

New to longboards, but I’ve snowboarded all my life so I picked it up quick. Great board to learn on, and great for the price. I use it to get around a fairly large college campus and it is perfect for that. After a little over a month, everything is still together. I’ve ridden it in the rain a couple times, and the bearings are still smooth and fast. Pretty decent turning radius, very fun to carve on, while still being stable at higher speeds. No complaints at all! I would highly recommend to anyone trying to get into boarding.

I just got this board and am fairly new at longboarding but hooked. This is my second board. My first one was a Retrospect pintail, which I liked, but then I got this board and it was a total game changer. I was falling on my ass everyday and starting to think I just didnt have it in me until I got this board. This thing carves like crazy! I can make really tight turns and the drop-through trucks make me feel closer to the earth and safer. Theres a decent amount of flex, which I personally like, it feels more stable and less rigid than my pintail. Ive actually started picking up some boardwalking tricks which Id never been able to do on the other board. This is like plug and play fun if youre a beginning longboarder.

The first board I received had wooden splinters on the side and chips in the top layer. As soon as I put in for an exchange, the company sent me a replacement that I received in 2 days. I would highly recommend buying a nice longboard from this company.

I was searching through Amazon looking for a good, reliable long board that could last me a while and came across numerous other options for roughly the same price. I would check the reviews of the other boards and cracking/breaking was a common issue with a good amount of them. To add on, the bearings and trucks were cheaply made, making me choose Playshion instead. The common issue with boards at this price range are the bearings and the trucks, but with this board they are pretty good if you loosen them slightly. Before this board, I used a Sector 9 board which is about $150-200 which I enjoyed riding but gave away to a relative. I will be honest and say the Playshion board can be compared to the Sector 9 because it is priced perfectly for what you get. The maple wood feels great, although it does have some wood splinters that werent smoothed down. The wheels are wide and make it easy to go over pretty much everything, rocks, branches, and even curbs. The bearings are alright and you wont have to change them for a good while. As I said, the only thing about this board is that you have to loosen the trucks and wheels a bit so that you can go faster, but at the same time I enjoy to have my board a bit more sensitive than most. Overall, I would recommend this board to anyone who is getting into long-boarding and doesnt want to break the bank. The concave design of the board makes it easy to steer and control for those learning as well.

Late review but it’s a great beginner cruiser and I get compliments about the longboard! Try it!

This was the first long board I have ever bought but I have been street skating for about a year now. When I got this longboard I was looking for something that went pretty fast. I was expecting to not have to push it too much and for it to speed down hills, but this board was pretty slow for me. I have been riding for a while and I just wanted something that would go fast. For beginners this definitly will be fast enough for you but as for skaters who have been skating for a while I would not recomend this board.

I’ve actually bought this board three times now. My son first got it when he was 11 and a beginner. I bought it again after it was ran over by a car (no fault of the board or my son) when my son was 12, and recently bought it for a 3rd time after my son’s friend fell and the board went down the storm drain in the street. My son is now 14 and rides it around the neighborhood for miles!

Im total noob to this so I may not know enough to give a thorough critic. Would buy again. Smooth ride, stable, feels good. Quality looks very good. Pro - easy to turn, flex good for learning the way to control the board. Con - maybe too much flex? As speed increases have to be careful or it wobbles but it could be Im just not that skilled at riding.

Outstanding board for the price. Im a beginner and this board was forgiving yet capable. It turns really well with the trucks being just stiff enough for me (Im 175lbs). Because it is so stable, Im already learning how to move my feet around to carve better turns or get more speed while pushing. The bearings are very smooth btw, almost too smooth for a complete beginner. The board shot out from under me the first time I tried it. Once I got used to it though, I appreciated how easy it was to keep the wheels rolling. I could even carve little turns to build speed, based on the tuning of the trucks relative to the boards flexibility and bearings smoothness. Also yes, it really is 6.6lbs, very light and convenient.

As an old skateboarder, I find this board to be reasonably stable for downhill riding, as well as, land paddling powered with a Braapstik land paddle. As a man well into his 60s, I enjoy being able to stay fit and have fun at the same time, and this board suits my requirements for the moment.
