longboards
Extended skating decks
Longboards are elongated skateboards designed for cruising, downhill racing, or long-distance travel rather than tricks.
They typically range from 33 to 60 inches, with larger wheels and more flexible decks than standard skateboards: She commutes to campus on her longboard.
The term also applies to longer surfboards, usually over nine feet, favored for their stability and smooth gliding.
