10 Best Cruiser Boards in Singapore | Best of Lifestyle 2023

While regular skateboards are designed for doing tricks, cruiser boards are built primarily for comfortable transportation. So, if you’re seeking to add a little bit of twist, fun, and adventure to your daily commute, get yourself a nice and sturdy cruiser board. But you might be a little confused as to how you can actually distinguish a cruiser board from a typical skateboard. To start, typical skateboards have lozenge-shaped decks with a raised nose and tail, and a set of small and hard wheels that are most suitable on smooth, flawless pavements. Cruiser boards, on the other hand, provide more variations in terms of the deck’s shape and size. What sets them apart, though are the wheels.

Designed to endure bumps and run smoothly even on rough roads, cruiser boards usually have wheels made of a softer material called polyurethane, with a size of 59mm or larger. This makes transportation more comfortable even on quite long distances. Wondering which cruise boards are worth the spend? Here are the best ones in Singapore.
