First time purchase from Vandem Longboard Shop and I'm sure it won't be my last, ordered a Landyachtz Dinghy Blunt Pinecone online and the board arrived the next day.
I'm very happy with the board and the service.
Looking forward to some nicer weather so I can hit the streets.

Santa Cruz Winkowski Crystal Cave Oldschool Skateboard
The Winkowski Crystal Cave. Little bears mining crystals from deep in the mind of Tallboy, super foily and shiny.
Same Winkowski outline - same awesome Cruz Missile II concave - same limited numbers. These don't last long so you'll have to be quick if you are keen to be seen on one of the most anticipated boards of the year.
The wheelbase and extra width over a standard pool deck make this a super comfortable board for cruising, whether thats through town, down little hills or round the local bowl. Wherever you end up, you'll go with style!
Looking for the deck only? Check it out here.
As usual, we've put together three options for complete setups to ride straight out of the box using components that we are super happy to put our name behind.
Is the Elite setup worth the extra £30?
For only an extra £30, you can upgrade the "Pro" setup to the "Elite" Level build.
The Elite setup is a pretty heavy wheel and bearing upgrade over the Pro.
You get Sabre Built-In Labyrinth Bearings - fully shielded, easy to clean, with built in bearing spacers. They roll faster and last longer than the Pro level metal shielded ABEC5 bearings.
The Elite complete also includes Cult Chronicle 65mm Longboard Wheels White (Stoneground), poured from a higher grade urethane. Premium urethane rolls fater, lasts longer, and generally injects a whole new level of life into the board - once you've skated decent wheels, you won't want anything else!
Less obvious is the wheel upgrade. Your extra £30 gets you a set of Cult Chronicle over the Pro build's Cult Nova. Apart from the obvious size difference, the Cult Chronicle are poured from a higher grade of urethane - an invisible difference that you will immediately notice as soon as you push the board off.
Just like the bearings, the wheel upgrade makes your board roll faster and last longer - what's not to like??
If you look at the SRP difference of these components and add them together you'll see that the upgrade from Pro to Elite represents serious value - trust us, it's well worth it.
Coupled with this, we've noticed that almost everyone who makes it into our shop ends up with an Elite setup - the value is clear once you have the board in your hands!
Santa Cruz Winkowski Crystal Cave Oldschool Skateboard: Park Complete Spec
Looking to ride in the skatepark, bowl or vert ramp? This is the setup for you. With hard wheels you wouldn't necessarily want to take it across town, but on smooth concrete or wood you wouldn't want anything else. Smooth rolling and fast, this complete will be super comfy in transitions and on the coping. Super fun.- Wheels: Cult Zero 60mm Skateboard Wheels White 101a
- Trucks: Sabre Skateboard Truck 170mm
- Bearings: Sabre Built-In Labyrinth Bearings
Santa Cruz Winkowski Crystal Cave Oldschool Skateboard: Elite Complete Spec
This is a premium cruising setup that'll last years to come. 65mm Chronicles roll smoothly over cracks and pebbles whilst being small enough to accelerate fast and get off the ground. They slide great, too.- Wheels: Cult Chronicle 65mm Longboard Wheels White (Stoneground)
- Trucks: Sabre Skateboard Truck 170mm
- Bearings: Sabre Built-In Labyrinth Bearings
Santa Cruz Winkowski Crystal Cave Oldschool Skateboard: Pro Complete Spec
Slightly smaller wheels will be easier to take to the air and roll best when the path is smooth and flowing in front of you. This setup is the best value you'll find anywhere for such a badass cruiser!- Wheels: Cult Nova 60mm Longboard Wheels White
- Trucks: Sabre Skateboard Truck 170mm
- Bearings: Vandem Value Skate Bearings - ABEC 5

Customise your ride!
We can change the truck bushings on this board to suit your weight and riding style!
This way your board will come set up perfectly for you, straight out of the box.
Just refer to the table below and make your choice as you add to cart!
| Rider weight | Bushing Hardness |
| 10 - 50kgs | Extra Soft |
| 50 - 72kgs | Softer |
| 72 - 90kgs | Stock Setup |
| 90 - 104kgs | Harder |
| 104 - 120kgs | Extra Hard |
Some other things to consider...
- If in doubt - go softer! Turnier boards are easier to balance on, and a lot more fun to skate.
- If you are "between hardnesses," we would recommend the softer option. So for example, for a 73kg rider, "Soft" rather than "Stock Setup" might be a better choice. Get in touch if you're not sure!
- if you want a very turny board - say for a dancing longboard - then it's worth going one stop softer than you otherwise would do. Watch out for wheelbite though!
- Likewise, if you want a board for downhill speed, then go up a step harder than the weight table suggests.
- You do have a bit of adjustment in the truck's kingpin nut, but we would suggest that if you have more than two threads showing then it's time to go to a harder bushing.
Santa Cruz Winkowski Crystal Cave Oldschool Skateboard Reviews
United KingdomVery Good
The board is well set up and rides great (I've never used a board before but I'm already riding around town after a day's practice). Matt was very enthusiastic and responded quickly to my emails. The board was shipped the next day and arrived quickly. Very good service.
United KingdomGreat complete
Very happy with the purchase. Fast, stable, wheels ride buttery smooth. Trucks are nice wide and fit very well the deck size. As new to skating, I would struggle to choose parts that would be in such a harmony.
United KingdomSant Cruz Winkowski Aquatic Night
Great board for an old guy to get back into skating again
United KingdomMy First Cruiser Board
The board came well packaged with no damage at all and free stickers/ a personal message (in just 2 days as well!). I'm loving the cruiser board, super comfortable and effective over rougher terrain with the cult chronicles. Really fast and smooth when rolling, with quality trucks. Great articles on the website that allowed me to pick this board in particular. 10/10, definitely recommend this place and will be buying again :)
