From Mindless Longboards, comes the Core range of boards. It is a three piece series including a dancer longboard, a cruiser board, and a classical pintail. The aim was to provide skaters with a board that is, shape and functionality-wise, right in the middle of its intended use.

The idea was to help newcomers to a great first time with skating, without breaking everybody’s piggy banks. The graphics on all three board types is based on a rosewood deck that is laced with old-school pinstriping details.

This pintail edition is equaly long as the Dancer version. But with a more mellow shape and a slight flex in the deck, this is the most obvious choice to start longboarding with for both grown ups and young adults.

The classic pinner shape makes it easy to ride and provides you with old school surf looks on an enjoyable cruising and carving setup longboard. The setup is made even more cruisable with the Talisman V2 trucks and the Shifta wheels, that have ABEC5 bearings premounted.

Classic surf meets classic skate with iconic Sky Blue and cream color code. Smooth surf style and surf performance together in a familiar longboard size. Stable, compact and fun. Perfect for riders of any size.

The ultimate cruiser for beginners to advanced board riders.
