20 Best Skateboards For Big Guys (2023 Updated)

Really nice board. Very responsive and gains/holds speed really good, nice for maneuvering in crowded areas. My max speed out of the box on downhill without wobbling was around 35-40 km/h around 20 mph.

Love this board. Nothing wrong with it. Only reason I didn’t give it a 5 out of 5 is the width seems a bit small. Hard to know the best size when you are stationed overseas.

it was great board. I really recommend it ! I’m thinking of buying another one for my other son. Great product! I LOVE NHS PRODUCT !

I ordered this skateboard for my granddaughter and she loves it so that really makes me happy to see a smile on her face. Im glad that I ordered it and everything was ok with it. Thank you so much for making my granddaughters day.

It is nice, it has nice turning and also has a nice size, personally I wear a size 10 shoe and it’s easy to control, also the wheels are great to use. Overall great board, I recommend this board.

Delivery much quicker than scheduled. The skateboard is everything my daughter wanted. Perfect! Great price!

I bought a custom 22 inch board off here a few years ago. Absolutely loved it ever since. I use it to get to, around and back from Uni. I regularly cruise up to 20km on it and it’s stood the test of time with minimal maintainance.

Obviously it’s not designed for tricks, I struggle to even kickflip it. But it will happily Ollie up a curb and turns tighter than anything else I’ve ever ridden. It’s also tremendously steady at speeds for such a small board.

This board was sooooo hawt looking that some foo stole it while my back was turned. Never turn your back on this board. Some punk will rob you blind. I almost gave this board a bad review just because I wonder if it’s too good looking.

Maybe someday I’ll recycle enough cans to replace the board that was taken from me. Until that day though, my butt is walking to the recycling center. Life is cruel.

I needed a cost effective solution to a mobility restriction: Much of my commute to work involved walking over smooth ground. Realizing that walking time could be reduced significantly using a wheeled vehicle, I decided to pursue either a skateboard or a bicycle.

Not wanting to yield to the variable liabilities and high risks associated with utilizing a bicycle, I decided to pursue the economical and portable Penny board (22inch model). Without having prior experience with skateboard mobility whatsoever, there was a period of training in a safe and sane area without interference of motor vehicles or pedestrians in order to acclimate myself to basic skills.

Before long, I was able to functionally move, advance, stop, and apply simple course-adjustments. Since the initial investment, I have reaped considerable returns that have reached far beyond the time saving objective.

I intend on making the Penny board a new part of my general mobility experience, taking it beyond the work commute. On a related note, I will begin protesting the continued maintenance of the sidewalks, roads, and paths to be free of debris, pot holes, and general depreciation.

Great board at a great price, and arrived pretty quickly! My one complaint is that the shrink-wrap is around the board with the wheels/trucks installed through it. This means that to get the plastic completely off, I will have to take it apart and put it back together.

Might as well have come unassembled. The plastic is also to thick/tough to just tear off & leave whatever is sandwiched between. You really have to either disassemble or use a blade and hope the plastic that’s stuck in between doesn’t cause problems.

I had been looking for a longboard for my oldest teenage daughter. I looked on online and I found it to be the easiest to just go directly to the Retrospec website. It was great to see the options and the prices were even better then other websites.

The longboard came with no issues and I was given an easy way to track it. I will be purchasing here again, possibly for all my longboard needs further more. Thank you, my purchase made my daughter so happy.

She has always been sensitive to active sports in fear of pain or getting hurt resulting her not participating. She has twisted her ankle, fallen down and scrapped her knee due to using the Longboard so much and trying out new tricks and methods of riding.

She now wears her injuries as badges of honor rather then hesitation of fear. Thanks Again, I recommend this product and company to anyone looking to feel great about a purchase.

My grandson is very picky when it Comes to skateboards. Whether it’s an issue with the way it moves or the wheels. You can never find the perfect one. We tried The Tony Hawk Cruiser. He Fell in love with every aspect of the skateboard.

The width of the board and how easy it was to maneuver. Its equipped with stone-ground cast wheels and ABEC1 bearings. This is high quality and provides tons of fun. The skateboard is great for beginners as well as advanced users.

I highly recommend it, and another awesome touch is the slime paint design which was a great addition.

This has a really cool design on the bottom and seems very durable. The wheels glide easily and seem they will last for awhile. This is a little bit of a longer skateboard which is why its a cruiser which is great for gliding in the neighborhood.

My little one is 11 and she rode it very easily and me as an Adult was also able to get on it without any issues. Overall a great skateboard!.

The graphics on the skateboard are awesome! They are girly without being too girly. The skateboard is the perfect size and works seamlessly. The wheels roll and work as they should with out getting stuck.

The board holds up to an adult and was definitely built to last. I like how the tires are 2 different colors to match the graphic. Definitely hours of fun.

Good deck. Maneuvers nicely. However, the bearings aren’t as smooth as I’d expected.

I bought a street flyer skateboard for my son for Christmas and within the first 10 minutes (and I am not over exaggerating) the grip tape peeled off. Two days later the one wheel broke in half. I paid less for the Kryptonics brand skate board for my other two children and those ones are perfectly fine.

I WOULD NOT and WILL NOT recommend these to anyone! I also can not find anything on the actual company that makes these to call and complain. This is very frustrating for me and my 11 year old son since I do not have the money to run out and buy a new one.

How do you explain to a kid that Santa brought a defective skateboard when all his siblings turned out fine?.

This is an 8 and unfortunately I thought it was an 8. 3. My granddaughter, 11, says it isn’t stable enough and she wishes she had the 8. 3, which is what her sister has. I guess she’ll have to work with it but we should have ordered the larger deck.

I don’t know how to rate it otherwise but it is probably okay. The truck does seem slightly wobbly but it could just be the overall experience.

So here is the thing, it may look cool, and yes its a good beginner board, but the wheels are fake, the trucks are fake, the griptape is low quality and chipped before i did anything on it. Good pick for beginner skaters, but no intermediate or advance skater would want this.

so you know. thanks.

I wanted this for months but waited a while to order it bc I wasn’t sure I wanted to spend as much on this board. But it’s a good board. Super smooth and easy to ride bc it’s fairly low to the ground.

Just hope it doesn’t break bc it feels suspiciously flexible. I’m right under the weight limit, too. But it works great and has the coolest design that everyone compliments.

This was a gift for my 12 year old. An amazing board. I would buy again

Great value and great ride for a beginner’s longboard. bought this for my son who I have been trying to get into longboarding for years, now he can’t stop riding the darn thing. Happy in Hermosa!

Great price, bought a package of ABEC 9s but not necessary, I skated with the Stock ABEC 7s and they are good. The board has great flex, nice length, I’m 70″ tall, its 44″ so its just over my stomach in length.

The wheels are my only concern because they wear down kind of easy but without much effort I managed to accidentally run over a pretty good sized rock and I did not wipe out. I totally recommend this board and anything else QUEST has to offer.

10/10. Also, photos show some damage, this is my damage. It came brand new.

I’m a new ridder. And was looking up all kinds of details. like wheel size shape and of course boards. Its great! I am very happy. No complaints 1st day #) and you can’t beat the price! And arrived a lot sooner than expected.

This longboard is very good, my daughter is a beginner. So she just started practicing and this longboard is perfect for her now.

The skateboard rides super smooth and my kid loves it ! This skateboard has yet to have anything break with my kid riding it for hours everyday !

First experience with a longboard, but it seems like it is high quality and meets my expectations. Several websites listed this as one of the best boards, for the value. The finish is good, length is true, bearings glide nicely, and the tape is good to go.

Purchased a couple of these longboards last year for my teenagers. Excellent quality, wood, and hardware. After a year, the boards are still going strong. Easy Pay is the Way!!!

Got this skateboard for my 7 year old who had a hand me down from her big sister. Long story short the cheaper one broke at the local skate park. She loves the look of the skateboard and the ride. Still waiting to take it to the skate park.

Added touch the board comes with a few stickers.

It is defective as it keeps pulling to the left. We tried to exchange it but it has been sold out. We emailed the manufacturer and there is no response. The entire thing is a joke. You can get a decent one with the amount of money spend on this piece of work.

I ought two for my twin girls who loved the design. The boards are sturdy and very well constructed with very good wheels. Also the price was the best I’ve seen anywhere and the delivery was super fast – 2 days to my door! I would highly recommend this product!.

This is an awesome little board. I went with the non-flashy, all-black version as to not draw attention and cause problems with airlines, museums, or train staff. I would’ve gone with the equivalent offering from the Penny brand, but their decks were too flexy and not grippy enough to inspire much confidence.

I’m 6’3, 175lbs, with size 11. 5 shoes (I wore Nike Court Vision Lows for this trip). I found the size of this board to be just right for zooming around European cities and small enough to carry through museums or other attractions in hand or strapped to a backpack.

It might be a little too small for some beginners, but it can certainly be used to navigate most obstacles (including over sections of cobblestone) and speeds with some practice. The deck is grippy and stiff enough to utilize the kick tail.

The axles are stable, even with the risers that come included. I was a fan of the wheels, still fast and soft with no chipping or flat spots after multiple miles a day for 3 weeks abroad. As for the bearings, I had swapped them for Bones Super Reds and put the new Globe ABEC7 bearings in another board I had.

The Bones bearings are phenomenal, but may not have been worth the upgrade if I hadn’t had a use for the new Globe bearings as the Globe bearings are also pretty great. I would recommend using the stock bearings until they fail before considering upgrading.

The best part is that the board is small enough to count as a “personal item” far carry-on purposes. In addition to a carry-on sized backpack (that was packed with all of my other items), I was able to carry the board by itself onto my American Airlines and Iberia Air flights and onto many trips by train.

If strapped tightly, it can also count as part of a carry-on backpack. Both travel options worked for me with no questions or concerns from airline staff. Smiles all around!.

The Molokai color (aka the red board) is not as described on the site. The bottom color is closer to a coral color in real life and the top of the deck has tropical flowers all over it. 100% not what I was expecting when I purchased it.

Evo needs to do a better job of updating the product description and photos. I had to return because it was absolutely not what I knew the 8 year old boy would want for his first skateboard. I continue to give this 4 stars because the board itself I am sure is great as I personally love my own Globe Cruiser.

Got this after trying to cruise on my park skateboard and I was tired of flying off every time I hit a crack. This board is perfect for cruising on sidewalks and even rougher streets. The big soft wheels make going over most cracks a breeze.

After riding this around, my park board seems so slow! Just keep in mind that, being a cruiser, it isn’t really meant for most tricks. It’s also smaller than a normal popsicle deck so that might take some adjusting.

the only shape i ride for years, perfect for any kind of skating wide enough for bowls and street! love deluxe boards skating this right now!

verry high pop and good looking I ordered yellow but i got bleu but that doesnt matter because it fits my setup better

Just like the description said. Smooth & Speedy 99A PU wheels are the perfect choice for both speed and grip. Plus, the 52mm size makes them ideal for tricks. Ideal for skating street, parks, ramps and pools, these wheels are quick without sacrificing traction.

Couldn’t be happier.

It’s a good board and I’m enjoying it. I didn’t need anything particularly and this board is just one I use for simple skating and riding but it’s worked fine for that so far.

It was for our granddaughter. She loves it. She is on it every day. Works great
