Is this long board good for cruising flat areas or little hills?

It's a good cruising board for pretty much anywhere. Flat, hills, roads, sidewalks, paved areas...etc....It's a great cruiser.

I had used this longoboard for 3 months in miami, and after all is not too much bad. I was a beginner and i had realized immediatly that It was't as good to turn as the other longboards of my friends and it had not a great control to cruis To the city. But it has a nice Speed even Though is not the best long if you are looking for a professional one.

It's good for starters because it's a cheap board that still gives the feel for longboarding. It's easy to ride except for the wheels. The wheels it comes with are extremely hard, so they don't absorb any shock, which can cause you to be thrown (depending on how fast you're going). Overall, if you decide you really like longboarding, I'd suggest that this board is fine, but you may find that you'll want to replace the wheels and bearings with better quality stuff.

Yes. The longer and wider and thicker the better for a beginner due to the stability it brings. Its perfect for flat waters. Hope it helped. Rgds

Taller kids with great balance should be OK with this. 7' board would be ok if you have smaller waves, but with 4' or higher waves I would say this board would be fine.

Yes!! It doesn't have a lot of curve or carve. It's more of a cruising board. My 8y/o sister learned how to ride on this board and she's doing great!!

It rides pretty well on both surfaces! Just overall, the board is rather flimsy compared to another Globe Nickel board I have and the bearings aren't quite as fast. But yeah, I suppose a smooth road is faster than the sidewalk.

Even though I do not live in the bay areas, I would have to say that it would ride well. Where I live at, I use it to ride on waves and calm lakes. It treads well in those already so I would imagine that if you were to ride it in areas like that, you should be fine. Even with waves here and there, you should have no problems at all. I hope that helps out a bit.

This one is my first and only I love it. And you never really know what suits you until you try it out. Some people like long boards and some penny boards. But this is def a great board. I hope I answered your question.

I wouldn't really consider this a slide board it's more for cruising. I'm not sure about the wheels though.

you can do tricks on this board, but a longboard would be better for cruising

Yes! I'm a 105lb girl and for the price it's pretty good. But if you want an actual "cruising" board, you might need to pick up some new gel/rubber wheels so you don't have to constantly kick every second and loosening the board is better for turns.

My son is about 150 lbs...and the board hasn't cracked yet! So it would be a good first longboard for you. Have fun!

Yes, I live in washington and cruze the waterfront in the summer time. Wheels were super loose but it rides really smooth. Best board iv rode hands down

Weight is fine - and this board would work up to about 57" tall, if a beginner. It's a soft top, so will get dented, but so far so good. Minimal wear, and the fins have taken quite a few rides up onto the sand and rocks without damage. We've only used the board for a couple of month's, but it's in pristine condition, and used 4 - 5 times a week. Hope this helps.
