SANTA CRUZSkate Land Shark Rasta Sk8 Complete Skate Boards, 8.8 x 27.7-Inch

I love this board its great its small, lightweight, somewhat fast and all the parts are great, love the bottle opener but you have to be careful not to spill it on the board. this board is great for cruising which me and my sister do alot but since my sister is a begginer it took a couple hours to get used to it but she got the hang of it she also says she loves it. the trucks are pretty good the bearings are okay and the wheels are great the deck and grip are also very strong but the grip gets dirty fairly easily/quick but other than that its a great board and you should get it if you wanna just cruise or hang out with some other friends

I use this to get around my apartment complex, get around college campus, and anything in between, and this thing does it all. It's small enough to lift up the front and turn as your riding (Like a skateboard with tight trucks), and the wheels are big enough to go over some of the more daring cracks in the road. I hardly have to push, as the bearings in this thing are pretty darn good.I had to tighten the trucks a little bit since I'm used to riding with a stiffer board, but that was simple and now the board is good to go!Also has a bottle opener, haven't used it yet, but man does that look convenient.

I’m a 51-year-old guy who hasn’t skated since about 1987. I had to really tighten the bushing since I’m 6’1” and about 200lbs. It was too wobbly for relearning to skate after 35-40 years. I was skating today and this board is great. It cruises smoothly with nice soft wheels and, while you could technically do tricks, I’m sticking to just cruising. Lovin it!

I haven’t rode a skateboard in 45 years. I’m almost 60 this board kicks ass !!

I got my board pretty quick and by ups. It was bigger than I expected but its the perfect size and I'm very satisfied with it.It rides EXTREMELY smooth, especially on the smooth roads. Goes over minor pebbles/rocks but don't push it, sometimes branches or bigger rocks will be like a brake and throw you off balance. I've stumbled off my board but never fallen or gotten hurt.It cruises like a beast. Feels too awesome, love the breeze.. and it turns really easily!! the control is a lot easier than other boards.Gotten a bunch of compliments on it.The only thing that sucks is that the grip on top is so rough that dirt gets super trapped therefore dirtying your board really easily and every single day. Being on the road means dirt, sand, etc.But regardless it's perfect and beautiful and would make an excellent gift :)

I received my rasta santa cruz board in less than a week. CCS direct even hooked it up with a free skateboard magazine and santa cruz stickers! The board is exactly as described, and it's a fun, fast lil board. It fits on the back of my straps on my backpack and its super light, not to mention sick looking!! I get compliments on it everywhere I go :-) I refer them to amazon.com and ccs direct because my shipping was free and I received it so quickly. Thank you so much !!!

I grew up in the 80's and used to skate every single day. Had boards from Hosoi/Powell Peralta/McGill, just to name the ones I can remember. Fast forward 30 years later(!), and I have not been on a board in at least 15 years, probably more. Due to issues with parking, I have had to park on the street, a good distance from my actual residence. The Wife gets the garage, leaving me to hoof it every day, so I decided I was going to get a skateboard. Experimented with biking, but it was a pain throwing the bike in and out of the back of my truck, plus I had to lock the bike if I was parking in a public place, etc. Skateboard was light, compact, easy to throw in the back seat, and actually makes it fun to go back and forth to my truck now.First got the box, I was VERY disappointed with the packaging. It was wrapped in plastic, then put into a square cardboard box with some brown paper on the sides. Problem with this is the corners of the tail are butted up against the sides of the thin, cardboard box. Upon first inspection, I could see a large dent on one side of the box and the actual corner of the board's tail was poking out! When I opened it up I found that the corner of the board's tail had damage to the bottom, akin to a light scrape. Thought about returning, but was too anxious to get back on a skateboard, so just figured this was the first of many scrapes this board was going to have.As I said, I haven't been on a board in a looong time, so can't really offer a current opinion. Can only say the ride itself is silky smooth. The wheels almost feel too soft to the touch, not sure how they will hold up, but I won't be putting too much stress on them. Trucks are a bit loose, but this makes the ride very easy to control. There is a bottle opener on the bottom, but cant imagine wanting to put my beer bottle anywhere near the bottom of a board I've been riding around on. Colors are very nice, but in hindsight, white is definitely not the best choice for a board.I'm a big guy at 6'1, 225lbs and wear a size 12 shoe. The board seems somewhat small for my shoe size, but not too bad. Overall, packaging aside, I am very happy with my purchase. Now it's time to renew my subscription to Thrasher Magazine!

Great cruiser, bearings are pretty bad, wheels are very grippy (good for downhill), solid trucks.One problem I had with it was the bushings. They were incredibly loose right out of the package and I almost killed myself by trying to go down a hill near my house. If you want to go down any hills, TIGHTEN THE BUSHINGS.Other than that, very good board for 75 bucks.
