You could do better, but not for the price

For a first time cruising board, this is full of potential. The only real letdown is the bearings; none were amazing on my board, but some were better than others. Still, $15 for some decent bearings vastly improved the glide, but if you're doing really short trips around a small-ish college campus, you might not notice.The trucks are "okay" - not bad, certainly not great either, just middle of the road, probably not worth upgrading unless you really get into longboarding. If you loosen

Pros
  • ‎3.06 Kilograms
Cons
  • The longboard might not fit in smaller storage spaces

Awesome for beginners!

I love this board! As a very clumsy person who has has no poor experience with longboarding, I thought I wouldn’t do well. But this board is super reliable! It’s been only a few days but I’ve been zipping down the neighborhood and down hills around town. It’s very sturdy too ( my dad, around 250lbs, jokingly tried to hop on it, and the board didn’t even cave) . I seriously recommend this to anyone, especially beginners!

Pros
  • ‎HongHenry Distribution
Cons
  • The wheels might skid or slip in wet conditions

Beautiful, good quality, totally worth the price

I was beyond pleasantly surprised with this longboard. I’m fairly new to longboarding, but my brother who has been longboarding for years has many very expensive/high quality longboards. After using his and switching to this one, I’m pleased. His are much faster and easier to maneuver, but this board is amazing for the price. Would, and probably will, purchase again.

Pros
  • Skateboards & Caster Boards
Cons
  • The deck might be too long for some riders to comfortably ride

Dope, Crazy Affordable Longboard for Rad Rides

One of the smoothest, most forgiving longboards I've owned. The ride is slick and quick, the shape is perfect and the board has JUST ENOUGH flex. I hate super stiff boards. This Volador meets every one of my expectations and the price is SPOT ON. The arrow graphic is awesome and the grip tape with the whale logo is dope. I've paid a lot more for longboards and did not enjoy them as much as i do this one. I tightened the trucks just a bit but other than that, literally perfect for what I was…

Pros
  • Geometric graphic makes you board stands out from crowds.
Cons
  • The board might be too wide for some riders to comfortably foot break

Great Buy!: my feedback

Was skeptical upon ordering this board because it was so cheap.but I was pleasantly surprised when I recieved it! I just needed a backup board for when my electric is out of juice and this does the job perfectly. I had to upgrade to bigger size wheels, although I did not want to because the original color scheme (2 pink, 2 purple) is super cute, but the terrain I typically would be riding on (city streets) required the bigger more gummy wheels. Over all for the price this board is well worth…

Pros
  • ‎6 months warranty on manufacture defects
Cons
  • The deck might not be suitable for downhill riding

Rides like a dream in my review

I really like this longboard. This was my first time buying a longboard and it ended up being just the right choice. It's perfect! I really enjoy how smooth it is and how sturdy it makes me feel. 10/10 would buy again.

Pros
  • The board is perfect for both beginners and seasoned riders
Cons
  • The trucks might be too wide for sharp turns

Great beginner board!

I turned 40 and wanted to try something new to keep up with my kiddo in her roller skates. (I am a jogger and a yogi.my hubs goes to the gym has no balance and nearly died simply standing on this - user error, not cos of the board).This board is perfect. It is not too long that it is annoying to carry but it is much longer than a penny board and also a regular board. I am about 140 lbs and it feels solid. My kiddo is 9 and also practices enough on my board that I bought her her own regular size

Pros
  • It offers a comfortable and smooth ride for long-distance cruising
Cons
  • The board might not be easy to customize with different parts or designs

Great beginner board

I love that this board is stylish and functional! I think the length of this board suits me quite well and is a great first board. It's pretty decent quality for what you pay for it- most beginners want a cheapish board to start on because trust me when I say your board will get beat up. For me this is perfect because the handling is just right to get a feel for riding long boards. A friend of mine has this same board and has run it in to a curb at high speed more times than I can count and…

Pros
  • Its wide surface area provides ample room for foot placement and stance
Cons
  • The board might not be suitable for riders who need a wider stance

Great Board!: my feedback

My daughter is sooo happy with her purchase. It maneuvers with ease and is the perfect length for her height. She will be riding it all summer long! The only confusion is that on the board itself it says it is a 38", but the advertisement specifies that it is a 40"

Pros
  • It's the perfect board for cruising along the coast or through the city
Cons
  • The trucks might interfere with certain riding styles

Overall good! on my review.

When I got the board, the box had looked like it had been open already, it was barely taped up and box was in the worst condition possible. Opened it up and my board had a pretty good sized chip on top side.But honestly still rideable! Took it outside and it rides very smoothly, pretty goo

Pros
  • Skateboarding
Cons
  • The trucks might need to be tightened frequently

Great Beginner Board

I’ve long boarded a few times before, but I still didn’t know what I was doing. This board is perfect to learn on. You’ll have to get something to loosen the wheels (and maybe other things). Aside from that, I love it.

Pros
  • ‎Maple
Cons
  • The longboard might have a long break-in period for the bearings
