    Super excited to see you back and running again! I've been a fan for probably just over a year or so and you have helped me learn so much about longboarding. Thanks for all you do.
    P.S. I'm also really happy you took the break as everyone needs to step back sometimes. :))

    I’ve missed you posting. Glad to see you back from the break and I see some new boards back their 👀 definitely wanna know your opinion on the updated surf skate from landyachtz. I’ve got the flippy but due to the weather haven’t been able to really shred it. Feels super comfy tho

      @@concrete-waves after getting to ride it for a day(now back to rain lmao) I can say I love it. I had to tighten the trucks a little to my preference because mine felt almost floppy instead of carvey if that makes any sense and I’m not use to surf skates. After that tho it rides like a charm. It’s super cool to see the sharper turns I’m able to make around tight corners here on campus compared to my dinghy and feels like I’m standing ona big cloud. Can’t wait to really take it out and shred it some more

    This is how I've found that the wheelbase works for defining surfskate surfstyle emulation.
    15"-21" WB for high performance short board experience
    21"-26"WB midlength/funboard experience
    27" plus WB longboard/log experience

    I would've liked you to go into detail about why you would use a longer or shorter wheel base on a particular setup, and how you could change it. You covered the broad reason (shorter=less stable) But you're right, there are so many variables and different reasons for all of it. It would be difficult to cover it all. Definitely glad you're back!

    *I love caliber trucks but they do reduce wheelbase a bit more than most other popular trucks.*

    On shortboards/minis you can somewhat mitigate a shorter wheelbase by usin lower degree angle baseplates

    Hey Mates!
    I need your help on finding the right deck as I am total newbie and this material just proved it. I am looking for replacement for my snowboard for summer 🙃
    Riding style:
    Fakie
    Ollie
    All kind of terrain but mostly city flat grounds, lot of ppl
    Distances - 5-10km
    I’d like to downhill few times (nothing extreme😅)
    Deck that will be stable, able to carve and manoeuvrable?
    Not a longboard, something more portable
    I am 5’10, 170lb, 9US
    I thought about Landyachtz Tugboat.
    Is it a right choice for me?
    Thanks!

    The owner of my local skateboard shop told me shorter wheelbases means you'll be pushing and pushing and pushing vs longer wheelbases where you need to push less frequently to enjoy cruising. Any truth to shorter wheelbases taking more pushing to make the skateboard roll? Didn't seem to make sense and I can't find any info on this point. Thanks in advance.
