Ok, I know of all the looooonnng surfing/hill bombing type longboards, and obviously not really made for pool/bowl type skating...
My question? Where does a shortboard end, and a longboard begin when it comes to pool/bowl riding??
Im guessing around hmmmm maybe 36-38" is a begining of a longboard??
What do y'all think??
I was typically riding a 33" stinger, but since I moved onto a 36" Afroman Hustler, thanks to Stubby, I am really digg'n on that size, and in the process of haveing Danny @ factory13 do me up a 36"er...

| I think 36" is considered by most to be where shory's end and longboards begin. But there are plenty of short decks (32-34") that have 19" wheelbases and have that surfy ride of a longboard. |
