The smallest penny is so useful for getting to class fast when your late but terrible when you eat shit while carrying a coffee or have a laptop in your bag
dude i had a knock off penny board and it worked so well it was similar to the smallest size because i needed to get around town, but i ate concrete so many times lol
I feel like people should upgrade to the nickel or any cruiser that is bigger then the penny since after size 9 shoes its not gonna be as comfy to ride on im size 9 entering 9.5 and I wore a 9.5 shoe before (from my older brother) and it was not good I had to think where I land my feet so I dont become unbalanced but if your size 9 below ye go as hard as you want on it
Hey I was just wondering cause i’m thinking about getting the 22” but i’m a size 9 womens. If you don’t mind me asking what size are your feet so i can know if it’ll be too small.
@@morgan3506 I am between size 10.5 and 11 mens. The board is pretty small, but that is the fun. Your heels and toes will kind of hang over the sides of the board, but that allows you to kind of grab the board with your feet. The small board also lets you feel like you are going fast when you really are not going that fast.
ive got the penny 32" and i love it. i wanted to fit in with the traditional skateboard style so i didnt stand out too much with the nickel or penny, so i put griptape on it - but deep down theres the cruiser part of the board that i love.
@@bakerhalt im not too sure what mm the wheels are but there smaller and just as soft as regular cruiser wheels, and yea i learnt how to ollie kickflip shuvit ect
@@lonelyberg1808 extremely, mine got hit by a car and it just got grazed. Still going strong, had for over a year now and the wheels are still as smooth as when I first got them
Thank you this is very useful. I am getting the 27 inch one. I own a 22 inch but It's not with me at the moment so i thought of getting a different size and the 27 looks perfect for me.
ill be honest ive used a pennyboard 22" from when i was 7 to now 14 after 4 years id be skating at extremely fast speeeds on pavements against cracks bumps pebbles . i mainly got the hang of it after a year and a half
great video I like how you explained it thoroughly u see I was having a really hard decision between a penny and a nick and this video helped a lot tysm :)
I've been finding longboarding to be more difficult than a cruiser with me being a beginner still. It was mainly because the flex in the longboard made me feel not as confident because it's more unstable. The cruiser I was able to get in no time. I'm 6'4" with a size 14 shoe so I think the width in the cruiser help that part of my stability and balance.
Solid video. Much Penny appreciation. Such a silly board, pretty much perfect for any beginners, and pro's who still like cheesey fun. I 110% agree with you about Nickel vs. Penny. I've not tested their three newest boards you've shown here, but they dont appeal to me particularly, except the 36" cruiser. I'd throw some 70mm shark wheels on them though!
I'm 5.9 145 lbs guy riding a 22 inch penny. Tbh its a bit hard to control my balance and a bit scarier to go downhill sometimes but portability of it is much better than the others imo.
i love my 27” but i might drop some to get the 36” just for the sake of being able to ride faster and not worry too much about the tiny cracks and pebbles and if they’re significant enough to send me off my 27”
nice review. thanks! I'm getting the 32 inch glow in the dark, going to make it a rain board. plastic wheels and aluminum trucks, already off toa good start
I love love love love my wooden boards......but I'm eyeing the Penny Nickel to mod into a Mini/micro Surfskate setup. Its semantics, but personally I consider 25" -28" decks mini's and 24" and under Micro's. I've been having a blast building 22"-24" setups with a Meraki and am Intruigued to try a plastic board and see how it feels. I'm thinking 3" Penny truck hangers on a Nickel board with a Meraki ( or even the Waterborne) would be a riot to ride.
A bit of silly reason but the 22 inch is the most recommended in my opinion. Solely cause if you just wanna start out, then most likely you'll find only the 22 inch board. Our second hand had 22 inch, regular skateboard and a longboard. At a sixth of the cost of a brand new one.
Really enjoyed the video! I used to have a 27 inch when I was 14, and loved it. But I've been working out for football since then and am 18 and am sitting at around 240. Should I go up the the longboard? this is for going around campus.
Thanks for watching man! Their suggested weight limit is 250, so you should be good. Out of all the boards, yes I'd go with the 36" longboard. I've personally never tested it at 250lbs with anyone, so I can't say 100%. If I were you, I'd email Penny Skateboards just to confirm you'll be okay
I just bought my very first longboard. It is 26" a Reaper. It seems long enough for my big feet and light enough so I can carry it to any store I might visit while being outside 😁
i gotta say, i like your content. I am Cruising around 1 year by now and tried almost all types of skateboards (skateboard, longboard, penny and cruiser ). It cost a lot of money for a teenager, but with this chanel people can actually know what to buy. A lot of love for your great content. Wish you help more people and blow up this chanel. ^-^ And can you make a video of and grip vs traditional grip ?
I own the 36 and that thing is a dream if you live in a parking lot with a lot of curbs and you're practicing tricks you don't have to worry about it hitting the curb and ripping up the wood
Hey man, great videos!! love them. really informative. I dont have any sort of board. I'm looking for a cruiser boardjust for crusing around. Not into doing any sort of tricks. So could you recommend companies or boards under 100 USD. Would really appreciate your great help. Love your videos!! Love from India :)
Thanks for the helpful advice. Been looking at pennyboards for current mode of transportation here in the PH. And been choosing between the Penny & Nickel. Very informative, thanks for the awesome video! 😊 I'll continue to watch your channel 'cause it's really informative and helpful for aspiring beginners & skaters like me. 😁
I wear size 8 sometimes 7.5 and I am just looking for a larger one because I want it to last longer. Smaller penny board worked when I was younger cause I was like size 5 but now years later it’s just not cutting it out for me anymore.
Yes I think so. The 29” will feel more snappy since the smaller wheelbase. If you want a larger setup, then I’d recommend putting carver CX trucks on a longer board. Just depends what riding feel you’re looking for
i got the relay back in august which is the same shape but with a different graphic and i absolutely love it, its currently my cruiser of choice to get to place A to B and do some tricks along the way like ollie up curbs and some casual kickflips but nothing super advanced. its an amazing board and i hope you love it as much as i do
I did byed 22inch, fell 2 times in short period, feel that bord too small to me 40-41size of feet. So I give it to woman that have 2 boys 8,11 and they enjoy it, I gave them too secure stuff. So i purchase yesterday NKX 27inch cruiser(hope this one is better for size of my feet and comfortable to use), price is very close to penny cruisers, but there was big discount on one of colors, happily I liked that combinations of colors gray board with red transparent wheels (it costs me 39,95€+15€, but normally price was over 100 euro). But I did buy it as bord for traveling, because I have also Apollo longboard Weird 100cm long. Because 22inch, is not so stable for beginner. So as first board longboard is moost secure to buy, as grand board. If someone use NKX plastic cruisers or Apollo longboards, give me your toughts about your experience of it. Thanks for feedback
Hey! Really great video. I loved all the details and descriptions you gave for each board. I’m a college student. I have the 22” Penny board but like you said, it feels too small sometimes and I don’t feel super comfortable riding over cracks like on the sidewalk and stuff. It also seems like I have to keep on pushing a lot just to get some momentum. So it feels like I’m pushing more than actually riding if that makes sense. I am looking for something that I can use around campus but something that’s relatively easy to carry around like while walking or bringing it with me on the bus. What would you recommend? The 27”, 32”, or 36”? I’m also not super interested in tricks. I mean, I wouldn’t mind learning like one or two but that’s not my main concern. What would you recommend? I’d mostly be using it for transportation. Thank you so much!
So my friend has this penny board, he just started to learn how to skate. I was like yo, can I try this out and he was like sure. Man, I loved that board easy for a 13-year-old to ride it's smooth and the turning was perfect.
Im 6’2 a wear a size 12 shoe. 22inch is better then the 27inch in my opinion and this is why. I’ve had both boards since they came out and the 22inch is easier to take places and it’s super fun to ride, 27inch has better stability and you can do tricks but other then that the 22inch is better at everything. I actually got rid of my 27inch and gave it to a friend that rides a 22inch and he hated the 27inch, not as fun in my opinion. For people like me that work everyday this thing is amazing, I can take my 22inch an skate everywhere
I’m thinking of getting 22” or 27” but I can’t decide because I’m not that tall and my shoe size is a 37 in Europe sizes. I like the feel of the penny board 22” that I tried at a shop but I think it might get too small so I need help deciding
I really appreciate this video! It's super clear and concise for someone who has never skateboarded before. Do you have any recommendations for a beginner board? I'm hoping to use it to get around campus and for cruising around with my dog. I have pretty small feet so I was leaning towards a 27', but now I'm not so sure because I'm guessing it could be a pretty bumpy ride with a dog pulling me!
looks like Nickel is the go-to model for cruising around the city. I previously owned Powerslide's Choke which is a Penny replica, but the tail snapped unfortunately.
Gotcha, if you want to do ollies here and there, but mostly cruise, get the 32”. It’s shaped like a traditional skateboard and will be easier to learn tricks on than a 27”
Sorry I meant to comment on this profile about the 22" OG penny boardbuild that will change your mind and maybe even make you fallin love with the type. The build is actually a very much more evolved version of the 22", but it still stays true to the actual size, but I like mine with the kick and concaved surface.. I just add grip tape to make it actually usable because that plastic is so slippery, especially when wet, its such a suprise that people even took off with the trend. I do feel like toy's r us and the "little kids first board that doesnt actually ride but is SOOOOO CUTE", probably factored in to a lot of the sales, but when wally world took them on , that man became a millionaire overnight, lol. Anyways so here is the build vod is made for it: ua-cam.com/video/IBpQ5scFK30/v-deo.html
If you want a point A to point B cruiser that can fit in a backpack, then get the traditional penny. Otherwise, name brand plywood boards are a better value than the other Penny brand products.
Here is my main question: what does the 32" penny board have to offer that would make it more desirable than a regular 32" maple or bamboo deck longboard?
I usually tell people to just go for the 32" maple or bamboo instead since you can actually pop it better if you're gonna do tricks. Plus I prefer the overall feel better
I had a 22" Penny when I was a kid, but I stopped after hurting myself at extremely high speeds. I had a lot of experience cruising with it but i touched sand on the road and I fell really bad. So I was terrified using them for a while. After some time I wanted to get back to it but it was extremely dirty so I couldn't do anything. Now after years I want to buy a new one but Idk if I should buy the 22" or the 27"
Oh dang... Ya sand can make it very sketchy. I usually recommend the 27" since it has a little more deck space, but if portability is important to you, the 22"
if u have big ass feet you shouldn't get the 22 inch it'll be hard to get used to it but if you will use it as in like ur in a hurry and like to get somewhere sure yeah but if you want to cruise around and explore ur city or town get the 27 inch its good for beginners ! but if you wanna learn how to balance fast and go cruising you can get the 36 inch it will be easier to balance on because it has a longer deck.
Size 12 and I love my Nickel. The Penny is too tiny for me to feel comfortable, but its super easy to take wherever you want. The Nickel is still easy to carry around by hand or in your car, but in most backpacks I found it takey up too much space. The Others are too big for my taste, defeating the purpose for me
Hi. I'm planning to buy a 27size penny board and my main purpose is just for commute and leisure time. I'm already 29. is it okay if I just use it for like that? will I not have a hard time using 27 penny board for commuting and cruising while wearing a bag?
Hey! Love this it helped a lot and all! But I’m still unsure witch one to get I’m looking for a good board to just ride around on and stuff but I’m a beginner
I'd either go with the 27" Nickel board or the 36" Longboard. If you want something more portable, then the 27" is a better option, otherwise the 36" will be more stable. If you have any other questions, lmk - happy to help!
I messed up, I recently got a 22 inch penny board and on shoe size I’m like 8.5 or something and my foot was falling off then I though it wasn’t my thing but I guess it was just uncomfortable
Thanks for the video :) What would you recommend for cruising around campus or town? I'm a ten in shoe size but I was a little hesitant that the 27" would be too small. I was leaning more towards the 32" or the 36".
No worries, thanks for watching 🤙🏼 Yeah the 32” and 36” are both probably better options for you. The 32” is a lot lighter so carrying it will be easier. The 36” obviously has more deck space so it’ll be easier to balance on. Just depends what type of shape you like better
If lets say I intend to get a normal popsicle skateboard, would 22inch be better if I want the size difference between different skates. Cause I feel 27 is pretty close to skateboard size and i wanna make space for the rat brakeboard cruiser. Ps, nvm. I guess I’ll just buy all the pennys
Hey man love your videos!! I want to buy a board but I don’t know what. I’m mostly trying get something to ride for average distance (I don’t want a bike because it’s really big) and maybe to do eventually some tricks. I just don’t like the plastic wheels on a regular board I rather have something silent and smooth. What do you suggest !! Thanks man :)
I live in Indian and the Roads are pretty bad...I want to use it just for travelling...is the 27 inch one good for cracks and pebbles....or i should get a longboard only??
The smallest penny is so useful for getting to class fast when your late but terrible when you eat shit while carrying a coffee or have a laptop in your bag
Nooooooooo. It's so hard for me... Idk why though.
That’s why I got the nickel
dude i had a knock off penny board and it worked so well
it was similar to the smallest size because i needed to get around town, but i ate concrete so many times lol
Truth
I feel like people should upgrade to the nickel or any cruiser that is bigger then the penny since after size 9 shoes its not gonna be as comfy to ride on im size 9 entering 9.5 and I wore a 9.5 shoe before (from my older brother) and it was not good I had to think where I land my feet so I dont become unbalanced but if your size 9 below ye go as hard as you want on it
I bought my Penny 22" while on vacation in Maui about 8 years ago. I love the feel of the small flexible board. I cruise is and even charge hills.

22" inch wooden penny deck for me, and honestly I love it and I don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon.
As a 5ft girl would it make sense to get a 22 in my shoe size is six
You’ll prob be fine as long as you’re good at balancing. If you’re a beginner, I’d recommend going with the 27”
Not good for beginners regardless of size

looks like Nickel is the go-to model for cruising around the city. I previously owned Powerslide's Choke which is a Penny replica, but the tail snapped unfortunately.
Yup, the Nickel is a common cruiser! That sucks the tail snapped on your Powerslide. The material probably isn't as strong as Pennys
Hey thanks for the vid! I really like it! 😊 Can I still doing tricks on the 27 or is it a bad idea?
Happy to help! The 27” is not a good board to do tricks on. What type of tricks do you mean?
@@concrete-wavesOk thanks😊 I am a beginner and i wanted to learn just basic tricks for example jumps but i mostly want to cruise
Gotcha, if you want to do ollies here and there, but mostly cruise, get the 32”. It’s shaped like a traditional skateboard and will be easier to learn tricks on than a 27”
@@concrete-waves ok thank you so much😊 This helped me
Stoked I could help!
Thanks a bunch man. Not often when people are honest.
Sorry I meant to comment on this profile about the 22" OG penny boardbuild that will change your mind and maybe even make you fallin love with the type. The build is actually a very much more evolved version of the 22", but it still stays true to the actual size, but I like mine with the kick and concaved surface.. I just add grip tape to make it actually usable because that plastic is so slippery, especially when wet, its such a suprise that people even took off with the trend. I do feel like toy's r us and the "little kids first board that doesnt actually ride but is SOOOOO CUTE", probably factored in to a lot of the sales, but when wally world took them on , that man became a millionaire overnight, lol. Anyways so here is the build vod is made for it: ua-cam.com/video/IBpQ5scFK30/v-deo.html
If you want a point A to point B cruiser that can fit in a backpack, then get the traditional penny. Otherwise, name brand plywood boards are a better value than the other Penny brand products.
Here is my main question: what does the 32" penny board have to offer that would make it more desirable than a regular 32" maple or bamboo deck longboard?
I usually tell people to just go for the 32" maple or bamboo instead since you can actually pop it better if you're gonna do tricks. Plus I prefer the overall feel better
nothing tbh. won't get damaged by water and you can ride it with no shoes but thats it
I had a 22" Penny when I was a kid, but I stopped after hurting myself at extremely high speeds. I had a lot of experience cruising with it but i touched sand on the road and I fell really bad. So I was terrified using them for a while. After some time I wanted to get back to it but it was extremely dirty so I couldn't do anything. Now after years I want to buy a new one but Idk if I should buy the 22" or the 27"
Oh dang... Ya sand can make it very sketchy. I usually recommend the 27" since it has a little more deck space, but if portability is important to you, the 22"
thanks man this video was super helpful really appreciate it :)
what do you reccommend for beginners i was thinking a 27 inch?
if u have big ass feet you shouldn't get the 22 inch it'll be hard to get used to it but if you will use it as in like ur in a hurry and like to get somewhere sure yeah but if you want to cruise around and explore ur city or town get the 27 inch its good for beginners ! but if you wanna learn how to balance fast and go cruising you can get the 36 inch it will be easier to balance on because it has a longer deck.
Thanks!
Size 12 and I love my Nickel.
The Penny is too tiny for me to feel comfortable, but its super easy to take wherever you want.
The Nickel is still easy to carry around by hand or in your car, but in most backpacks I found it takey up too much space.
The Others are too big for my taste, defeating the purpose for me
just wear it in the straps of your backpack instead!
Good video
What’s better for cruisin and transportation around campus, the 22” or the surfskate? I only have access to those two :)
It it possible to put a waterborne surf adapter on a 22 penny board?
Not sure if it's on purpose or by accident, but your video on the 32" Penny board is set to private.
keep it up :)
Thanks! More vids to come 🤙🏼
Hi. I'm planning to buy a 27size penny board and my main purpose is just for commute and leisure time. I'm already 29. is it okay if I just use it for like that? will I not have a hard time using 27 penny board for commuting and cruising while wearing a bag?
Hey im 17 with size 10 feet and use the 22 inch penny to comute and just cruise and love it. The 27 inch should be a great fit for you.
@@lukedesmarais9268 okay bro thansk a lot
I got a 22 inch penny board bc am 10 and I am short ye is a perfect fit for me
hey is the 29inch the easiest to turn on ?
Im getting the longboard can't wait to cruise
Nice bro! 🤙🏼 Enjoy
I was wanting a board for going to school about 2-3 km away on some sketch paths just wondering what should I buy
Probably the 27" nickel
Thank you. Very helpful video.
Hey! Love this it helped a lot and all! But I’m still unsure witch one to get I’m looking for a good board to just ride around on and stuff but I’m a beginner
I'd either go with the 27" Nickel board or the 36" Longboard. If you want something more portable, then the 27" is a better option, otherwise the 36" will be more stable. If you have any other questions, lmk - happy to help!
Get the nickel you won't regret it
27 inches is perfect I have better balance on it than I normally have on a 22 inch board
I ride to town from my friends house in the country about 5 miles or so up medium hills with my 22" tony hawk penny
hows the riding experience, and what’s your shoe size?
Mah man only have less than a thousand subscribers but his veiws goes up to 10k
I’m a girl and I have the nickel board and leme tell you it works GREAT I’m a size 10 btw
THANKS BRO I'M GETTING THE NICKEL
How do you only have 455 subs?(u just got a new one)v
Thanks for the support! I really appreciate that 🙌🏼
@@concrete-waves 34k now... and I’m one
I messed up, I recently got a 22 inch penny board and on shoe size I’m like 8.5 or something and my foot was falling off then I though it wasn’t my thing but I guess it was just uncomfortable
you should review a freeboard
I like the penny surf board.
Thanks for the video :) What would you recommend for cruising around campus or town? I'm a ten in shoe size but I was a little hesitant that the 27" would be too small. I was leaning more towards the 32" or the 36".
No worries, thanks for watching 🤙🏼 Yeah the 32” and 36” are both probably better options for you. The 32” is a lot lighter so carrying it will be easier. The 36” obviously has more deck space so it’ll be easier to balance on. Just depends what type of shape you like better
Shred Shack cool! thanks so much
So which skateboard did you take?
I’m looking for my first longboard so i can learn, is the penny longboard good?
hey I'm a longboarder and i love cruising but i dont want the massive board what one should i get that isnt small and a good size
I wreck a penny board 22'' super smooth use bones all terrain wheels
If lets say I intend to get a normal popsicle skateboard, would 22inch be better if I want the size difference between different skates. Cause I feel 27 is pretty close to skateboard size and i wanna make space for the rat brakeboard cruiser.
Ps, nvm. I guess I’ll just buy all the pennys
thanks man you realy helped me decied
Hey man love your videos!! I want to buy a board but I don’t know what. I’m mostly trying get something to ride for average distance (I don’t want a bike because it’s really big) and maybe to do eventually some tricks. I just don’t like the plastic wheels on a regular board I rather have something silent and smooth. What do you suggest !! Thanks man :)
I live in Indian and the Roads are pretty bad...I want to use it just for travelling...is the 27 inch one good for cracks and pebbles....or i should get a longboard only??
