Retrospec Zed Cruiser & Pintail Longboard Skateboard Complete - Bamboo & Canadian Maple Wood Cruiser w/Reverse Kingpin Trucks for Commuting, Carving & Downhill Riding

Our 11 yo loves this board. He rides it every day. Wheels were pretty stiff and slow at first but after loosening them they spin well and the board goes plenty fast. Good quality and nice look for the price .

I'm super impressed with the board stiffness. Very nice medium truck with good turn radious. Decent barrings nothing special they get it done.

My wife already had the cruiser 44” board from retrospec, and it was great but I wanted the pintail for myself as it has more flex, it’s shorter at 41” and a bit lower to the ground, with a flat deck rather than the camber shaped deck with kicktail. I bombed a couple hills, cruised, and carved and it handles all three things amazingly. Really great for carving and cruising. This is actually an incredibly quality board for the price. The trucks are great, wheels are great, and for the price the bearings are definitely good enough. I will be buying new bearings in the future but after a few good sessions the ones that it comes with are actually fine for now. Highly recommend, unbeatable for the price. You will not find this good quality of deck, trucks, and wheels (while still having adequate bearings) anywhere else. Trust me I’ve looked. Super happy to have both the Cruiser and the Pintail models.

As a pretty new fan of longboarding, this is the board I decided to make my first board. Read any number of blogs or watch any Youtube video about longboarding and you'll find the same results: Amazon boards like this one are terrible, cheap, etc....and while I won't disagree that they're on the cheap side, this is still a perfectly serviceable beginner board for anyone looking to get into the hobby. It's not what I'd call a "forever board", but if you're looking for something to get into the hobby and just to cruise around the neighborhoods, this is a perfectly fine board for that. My only recommendations are:1. CHANGE THOSE BEARINGS. Redd bearings are reasonably priced on Amazon, and the ones on this board are...disappointing, to say in the very least. You'll be doing yourself a favor by ordering bearings alongside this board.2. Consider better wheels. The wheels on this board are fine as is, but they're on the smaller side of Longboard wheels and don't exactly take kindly to rocks, bumps, and cracks like bigger, spongier wheels do. Not a totally necessary step, but would improve the quality of your rides by a lot, especially if you're new and want that smoother ride.Other than that, you've still got a perfectly solid board and a good way to kick off (pun intended) a potential new hobby. I've become a huge fan, and it honestly wouldn't have happened if I hadn't given this board a chance!

Perfect price and looks amazing! My daughter loves it, feels like really good quality too.

Great skate board! My son loved it as a Christmas present. He didn’t mind at all having to wait three months to use it since we live in Michigan.Just looking at it was enough

I was a bitch skeptic with the price, but for $44 this board was very worth it! It's durable, the bamboo is very flexible and adaptive to your riding style. Very good purchase for beginners or even adepts.

Love it! Smooth enjoying ride.
