Is this a valid complete for a beginner? ”Globe tracer neue explorer 31””

It feels good to ride, not like I have experience from anything better.

Buying and designing my own custom board

Which layout looks better? I’m kind of set on the colour palette too but if there’s any recommendations I’ll fully accept any advice. I’ve considered adding a purple web in the background but not sure if it’d throw off the design.

Mistakes were made?

I think i bought the wrong size bushing. The chubby 96 a by riptide wont fit on these paris trucks with the bottom washer. Will this cause any issues? Thank you in advance!

Edit: this is on an arbor cucharon. Realized riptide has a sizing chart. Thanks folks! Lol

What is this stance?

I keep seeing this stance in longboarding/cruising videos, where the side of the back foot is on the board instead of the sole, and the back leg is almost kneeling on the board.

Is there a name for this? Is there a purpose for it, other than (I assume) getting your center of gravity as low as possible?

Royal Caribbean Bait and Switch Scam

We booked three rooms for eight people in November 2025 to cruise to Belize and Honduras in July 2026. We found out yesterday that the itinerary had changed and instead of Honduras and Belize, we would be going to their personal island. When we called, we were told that they informed us by email in February (they did not) and that the only thing anyone could do about it was to read us the cancellation policy.

If we had been notified in February, we would have cancelled and forfeited our deposit or paid a transfer fee to switch ships. Now our only option is to cancel and lose 50% of our total vacation cost or suck it up and travel with a company who clearly doesn’t care to destinations that we don’t want to go.

It genuinely seems that Royal Caribbean falsely advertised an itinerary they had no intention of delivering, changed that itinerary without notice to divert people back to their personal island to maximize their own profit, and treats their customers like dirt in hopes they will cancel with a 50% cancellation fee and Royal Caribbean can rebook their rooms and further increase their profit.

I would highly recommend to stay away!! I have had better experience with Carnival!

Hey ✌️

Im super hyped, this is my first cruiser setup🫶

I 3d printed a wall mount, where you can see the bottom design. Nice for storage and interior design. At the bottom is a guitar holder for stability 😂

Looking for some advice on a cruiser for me

So, I've been skateboarding for over 20 years now, past decade almost only mini ramps. I ride a 8.675" normally in the mini.

I got a dinghy for cruising and in the past had a pranayama. Both don't really do it for me. Dinghy just feels a bit too small for longer rides, the pranayama was very good for longer rides but a whole different category of course....

I'm looking for a cruiser board with full nose/tail so I can mess around with some tricks here and there as well. I've been eyeing the Landyachtz Raft but 10 inch just feels too wide. Any suggestions? thank you!

Complete beginner: Buy Comet Cruiser pre-assembled or DIY with the free skate tool?

Hey guys, total newbie here. I have absolutely zero experience with boards or building them.

I’m looking to buy the Comet Cruiser. Is it easy enough for a complete beginner to assemble it myself? I’m leaning towards buying the unassembled version because it comes with a free skate tool, whereas the pre-assembled one doesn't.

Is the setup/wedging too complicated for a first-timer, or should I just go for the DIY option to get the tool and learn? Thanks!
