Why Choose a Longboard

Longboards are made for smooth carving, easy cruising, and comfortable long-distance rides. With a longer deck and a more stable ride than a cruiser, they’re ideal for beginners and experienced riders alike who want a relaxed, flowy ride.

We offer two longboard shapes: Dropthrough and Kicktail.

The Dropthrough design features trucks mounted through the deck, which lowers the board’s height and brings you closer to the ground. This gives you a lower centre of gravity, making it easier to push, more stable at speed, and less tiring on longer rides—perfect for beginners or anyone after a smooth, grounded feel.

The Kicktail Longboard sits a little higher off the ground, giving you better leverage and allowing you to pump through turns with ease. The added kicktail also lets you pop the board up or make sharper, more playful moves—great for carving, cruising, or commuting with a bit more energy.

Whether you're gliding down the esplanade or cruising through the suburbs, our longboards are all about that effortless, surf-style ride.

What size board is best for me?

We get asked this question a lot and to be honest the best skateboard size for you is the skateboard that you feel most comfortable on. Skateboarding is all about personal preference and the right size for you might not be the right size for your friend (even if you are the same size). Finding the right skateboard is a personal choice and can be daunting, especially in the beginning, but we have a few tips to help. Follow the link for our tips Board Size Tips

Top Quality premium quality longboard

I recently purchased the GCLB Longboard and it has exceeded my expectations. It's perfect for longer cruises and all skill levels. The stability and speed are outstanding, thanks to the extra length and smooth wheels. The 5-layer wood deck provides durability and comfort. The fast bearings and secure grip tape make every ride enjoyable. Overall, this board is impressive in quality, performance, and style. It's a reliable and thrilling choice for transportation or recreation. Highly recommended for anyone who loves cruising and getting creative on a longboard.

Smooth ride!

Very happy with our new longboard. Bought it for my partner (and me) to give it a try. Was a bit in doubt if it would be something for us, as we don’t have much experience yet (just snowboarding and in the past).
But it runs very smooth, very stable, easy turning and a beautiful design. Probably will not take long before we buy another one so we can ride together 😊

IM IN LOVE

One of my 2023 goals was to learn how to skate - little did I know I’d actually finish that goal in 2022!! Because of Gold Coast Longboards I was able to learn how to skate in no time with such an easy, fashionable longboard !!! I am so grateful for you guys and helping me achieve my goal way earlier than expected. Can’t recommend this board enough !!

Awesome Boards

Bought two boards for my girlfriend and I and they are one of the best boards we've ridden. So easy to ride with a beautiful design. My only complaint would be that some of the design on the bottom of 1 of the boards (with pink wheel) seemed to have been rubbed off and has missing chunks and pieces out of the line work. And some of the paint seemed to splattered on the side and top of the board. Other than that great boards.

Great Board

My daughter has been asking for a longboard for a while now. She took it upon herself to track down her own board for me to order for her and she chose this one. The design on the board is stunning, my daughter loves it and skates everyday after school. The postage and customer service was excellent. Would highly recommend GCLB.
