Lush Minnow
Lush Minnow
The Minnow is Lush Longboards smaller longboard, perfect for smaller riders and adults who want a smaller overall setup.
The shape beats out any other small pintails out there but the real kicker is the truck setup - split angle trucks make this a perfect platform for anyone looking to get started with longboarding, including those who are looking to see how far they can take it...
We like pintails. You just can’t beat that classic surfy shape under your feet as you cruise along. Surfy lines just look fast, even standing still!
However the problem with pintail shapes, especially in smaller lengths, is that they get very narrow at the nose and tail, leaving you with not much space to stand.
Skinny pintails can look kinda cool in a shop window or on the internet, but you’ll see why we don’t like them as soon as you stand on one… Less space for your feet means less comfort, less board lean and less response from the trucks.
In other words, less of all the good things we all want our skateboards to have.
So when the guys at Lush came to shape the Minnow as a “compact pintail,” they really went right back to the drawing board. What they have created is a board with classic, surfy lines, in a shape that looks good and more importantly feels great under your feet and even better to skate.
So this thing skates better than other smaller pintails out there - no question. And that's just down to the deck design. Wait til you here about the trucks!
The Minnow features split angle trucks across all levels of build. It sounds a bit complex and techy, and it can be if you want to get into the weeds. But if you don't, rest assured. Split angle setups are easier for beginners to learn on - they add stability and control, as well as being:
- Easier to manoeuvre at low speeds
- Amazing to pump - maintaining speed by moving the board side to side
- Way better to carve
We appreciate the Lush Minnow costs more than other beginner options out there - but there's a reason for that. They simply don't come close.
