SmoothStar - 39″ SmoothStar Dolphin Cruiser Longboard

Is this SmoothStar right for me?

The 35.5″ Manta Ray is suited to surfers that are 6ft or taller (72 inches – 76 inches). This model has excellent drive and hold through deep drawn out bottom turns. Surfers with weight over 80kg will feel the board hold without sliding out. The deck has the same concave as the 32.5″ & 34″ models. There is extra width on the back tail to accommodate bigger sized feet.

Do you love to cruise? If so, welcome back to the traditional form of skateboarding with the 39″ Dolphin model. Making long, drawn out carving turns is where the new 39″ longboard cruiser excels. It has a wide, slightly concave deck which tapers down to a medium rear kicker. This gives you improved control when carving or gliding across steep slopes, and the 1.9 inches wide rubber wheels provide the board with extra stability and superior grip.

Most Common Questions About this Model

If I ride a longboard, is the Dolphin Cruiser more suited to my surf surf style?

The Dolphin Cruiser board is a lot bigger than all the other model SmoothStars and the wheelbase is a lot larger. This means that the turning circle or arc, will be a lot less critical which will feel more like a longboard turn. However, the board will not be as responsive to body movement which is more important for surfing. But if you want a delayed feel to your SmoothStar, the Dolphin Cruiser is a good option. Please remember that when you are riding, it is always important that your surf stance stays the same and you do not widen it for a longer board like the Dolphin Cruiser. The Dolphin Cruiser is also very fast and it does cross over to the cruising element where there is a nice mix of carving from rail to rail, to riding with surf turns. It is especially good for travelling long distances as it is one of the fastest boards due to the longer wheelbase.
