A longboard is a type of skateboard that is longer and wider than a traditional skateboard. Longboards are typically made of maple or bamboo, and they have larger wheels that make them more stable and easier to ride over rough terrain. Longboards are often used for cruising, carving, and downhill racing.

1. Deck shape: The shape of the skateboard deck determines how the board feels and performs. For example, a wider deck with a longer wheelbase is more stable, while a narrower deck with a shorter wheelbase is more nimble and maneuverable.
