Summer’s Here – Longboards From SkateHut For A Long Season Of Skating

April 26, 2011 - PRLog -- SkateHut (http://www.skatehut.co.uk), one of the UK’s leading destinations for all things related to skateboards, scooters and rollerblades, as endorsed by Experian Hitwise who named the site the “UK’s No. 1 Online Skate Shop’, is pleased to announce the addition of some of the latest longboards to their range.

The history of longboards goes way back to the United States of the late 1950s when the surf phenomena was at its peak and by the 1960s longboards were truly here to stay. Used by surfers when the waves were down, longboards are ideal for downhill descents, cruising or just a highly popular alternative to traditional skate decks.

At SkateHut, the leading longboards http://www.skatehut.co.uk/acatalog/Longboards.html offered come from the leading luminaries in longboard design and development and include Mindless, Lush, Santa Cruz, G&S, Urban Blue and Loaded. Choice as to which longboard is best will ultimately be down to individual choice as the skate community is very brand orientated and brand loyal. In addition to complete longboard decks, SkateHut also offer a range of accessories and parts to customise longboards including trucks and wheels from Cult and Orangatang. These wheels are specially designed with longboards in mind, offering superior grip and wide wheel bases for greater stability.

Longboards are ideal for long lazy, cruising and gather significant speeds over long descents. While traditional skateboard fanatics may argue that longboards do not give much potential for performing stunts, the longer decking allows for plenty of hand carving moves, emulating the way a surfer would carve up the waves.
