🎨 Design & Style
- The deck is a glow-in-the-dark white polymer, created to evoke the “white wash from the ocean wave … efflorescence of a night surf session”.
- Wheels are light-up clear polyurethane, so you’ll have visual flair when riding in lower light.
- Trucks, bushings, bolts are predominantly all white (consistent scheme) for a clean look.
- Top surface: high-strength polymer deck with a “wave-style non-slip surface that never wears out” and a matte finish.
📏 Key Specifications & Components
Based on available info:
- Length: 22″ (mini cruiser size) — compact and portable.
- Deck material: High-strength polymer (not wood), providing flexibility but built for durability.
- Wheels: Slightly larger than typical 22” boards to smooth out small road imperfections. While exact size given for similar models 59mm, for this board the “light up” wheels are clear polyurethane.
- Bearings: Stainless steel ABEC-7 with high-speed oil.
- Bushings: Durometer 87a (for this model) — firm enough for stable cruising, soft enough to carve.
- Bolts/hardware: High tensile strength steel bolts, painted white for the aesthetic.
🛹 Ride & Use-Case Considerations
Given how you use boards (you said you love to travel) and your height (5′10″):
Strengths:
- Compact size (22″) → great for travel, stashing in a car trunk, packing in a small space or carrying on the go.
- The polymer deck + durable build means it can handle regular use, change of locations, transit etc.
- The “glow in the dark + light up wheels” gives added fun and visibility — could be cool for cruising around early evening or in low-light areas.
- The decent components (ABEC-7 bearings, bigger wheels) suggest smoother ride over everyday surfaces (sidewalks, boardwalks) rather than just flat perfect ground.
Considerations / Trade-offs:
- As with any 22″ board, you’ll give up some stability compared to a longer cruiser or a full longboard — if you cruise very fast or over very rough terrain you might notice it.
- Polymer deck will ride differently than traditional maple decks — if you’re used to wood you might feel the difference in flex or “feel”.
- If your intentions include aggressive tricks, high-speed downhill, or long-distance rides, this board is more casual-/cruiser-oriented.
- Since the wheels light up and parts are styled for fun, if you’re purely performance-driven you might eventually want to upgrade components.
✅ Suitability & Fit for You
Since you are 5′10″ and you love travel:
- This board is very well suited as a travel-friendly cruiser board: compact, stylish, durable.
- For exploring new places, cruising boardwalks, getting around a resort town, or just fun short rides it’s a smart choice.
- If you keep your expectations aligned (cruising, commuting, having fun) rather than expecting this to perform like a large longboard or street-skateboard trick board, it’ll serve you very nicely.
🔍 Summary
What stands out:
- Glow-in-the-dark deck + light-up wheels = visual standout.
- Travel-friendly size + good components.
- Clean white aesthetic, good for day & maybe night cruising.
What to keep in mind:
- Mini size = less stability for high speed or longer rides.
- Polymer deck might feel different compared to traditional boards.
- If you evolve into more aggressive skating you may outgrow it.
