The main hardware you need for a longboard is the board itself, of course! But you’ll also need trucks and wheels to make it roll. Depending on the style of riding you want to do, you might want different kinds of trucks and wheels.
Some longboarders like to ride with soft wheels for a smoother ride, while others prefer hard wheels for speed and better carving ability. A longboard is a skateboard with a longer deck and larger wheels.
The standard size for a longboard deck is usually between 38-42 inches but can range from 36 inches to 60 inches. Longboards also have wider trucks than regular skateboards to accommodate the larger wheels.
