Santa Cruz Sundown Stripes Longboard

Yes, the drop-through deck design lowers your center of gravity, which makes the board much more stable and easier to push than a traditional top-mount skateboard. It is a very approachable setup for those just starting out.

This board is designed primarily for cruising, commuting, and mellow downhill riding. The combination of soft wheels and reverse kingpin trucks provides a smooth, stable ride that absorbs road vibration well.

Yes, it arrives fully assembled with grip tape already applied. You can take it out of the box and start riding immediately.

Mounting the trucks through the deck lowers the board closer to the ground. This reduces the effort required to push and foot-brake, while also increasing stability at higher speeds.

The wheels have a 78A durometer rating, which is considered soft. This softness allows them to roll over cracks, pebbles, and rough asphalt much more smoothly than harder street-skating wheels.

The CruzControl concave is designed to lock your feet into place comfortably while carving or cruising. It provides just enough leverage for turning without feeling restrictive or aggressive.
