Landyachtz Dodger Flower Cruiser Longboard

The Landyachtz Dodger Flower - a new take on an old idea.

I'm about to make some comparisons to other boards similar in stature, but the fact is they aren't really comparable. The Dodger is super light, super flexy and super snappy thanks to a fir core sandwiched in fibreglass. It's thin and strong and seriously fun.

That snappy flex works together with the camber and will ping you back out of deep carves, propelling you onwards into the next. Truly one of the best feelings on a skateboard.

At 36" it's fairly compact for a pintail - shorter than the Lush Mako, bigger than the Arbor Fish.

The pintail shape can suffer when made smaller due to being so narrow under the back foot. Not this one! It doesn't have so much of a taper, meaning the standing platform is plenty big enough for your feet all the way down the length of it. Good design.

This board features TKP trucks - street trucks, like you'd find on a regular popsicle. They're narrow, mind. This gives it a much more dippy divey feeling that reacts super well at lower speeds, very similar to the "Pro" setup of the Lush Minnow. If you've got your eye on some big hills, however, we'd recommend looking for some RKP (longboard) trucks to offer more stability as the speed picks up.

The Landyachtz Dodger sits in a unique spot in our shop - a very old school cruiser skateboard/longboard with its big camber and bouncy flex. It's impossible not to smile as you swing this one around turns - I dare you to try.
