The 8 Best Cruiser Skateboards of 2022

By: Steve Settles: Skate Buyer | May 26, 2022

Skaters have been mixing and matching components from board to board since the first iterations of the modern skateboard in the 1970s. At some point along the way, an old deck was combined with some well-worn trucks and a set of softer, grippier wheels to create the first “cruiser” board, ideal for effortless high-speed exploration and quick trips to the corner store. With the longboard boom of the past few decades, the art of cobbling together a perfect cruiser fell dormant for a short period before a new renaissance took place. Nowadays many brands offer pre-assembled cruiser skateboards built out with deep turning trucks and smooth grippy wheels for the ultimate comfort cruise. We’ve assembled this year’s list of the best cruiser skateboards with setups from the fine folks from Arbor, Landyachtz, and Globe.

New This Year:

New to our list this year are component updates to many products and a larger variety of board sizes. It is worth noting that some of the shapes on this list are highly functional for tricks and skateparks, while others are firmly planted on the ground for transportation purposes only. Having some skateboarding experience is a good idea before choosing a cruiser board, as they are very fast and hyperresponsive by design. With all that in mind, there’s a lot of fun to be had on our list. Pick the model that looks like the best fit for you and let it rip!
