I feel like people should upgrade to the nickel or any cruiser that is bigger then the penny since after size 9 shoes its not gonna be as comfy to ride on im size 9 entering 9.5 and I wore a 9.5 shoe before (from my older brother) and it was not good I had to think where I land my feet so I dont become unbalanced but if your size 9 below ye go as hard as you want on it

I'm a size 12 and i ride a 22" penny for 3 years by now, the best thing for me it's the portability and lightness over other wood cruisers. I don't really think that they are uncomfortable and i kinda like how they're somewhat dangerous at high speeds hahahaha it makes me feel alive. Anyway, great video man!

Ahh. Eu tbm ando a cerca de 3 anos. Eu amo. Mas fiquei traumatizado. Essas pestes são realmente rápidas, e vc fica viciado pela adrenalina de sua velocidade, e quer cada vez mais velocidade. Nessa brincadeira, eu quebrei minha clavícula, há 1 mês, descendo uma ladeira com o Penny 22. Eu achava q já manjava no equilíbrio quando estava rápido, mas peguei uma velocidade impossível de manter a estabilidade, e levei um estouro. Tou pensando em comprar um 27, mas tenho medo de perder a velocidade q tanto gosto do 22. Em compensação ganho mais estabilidade para andar na rua.

follow up.. this board sucks. flexes when you manual or ollie. its OK but i think id like it to be more rigid even if it meant heavier

I love my 36 have had it for 4 years. I can skate over anything even dirt roads. It also handles amazingly on big hills.

I really appreciate this video! It's super clear and concise for someone who has never skateboarded before. Do you have any recommendations for a beginner board? I'm hoping to use it to get around campus and for cruising around with my dog. I have pretty small feet so I was leaning towards a 27', but now I'm not so sure because I'm guessing it could be a pretty bumpy ride with a dog pulling me!

Really enjoyed the video! I used to have a 27 inch when I was 14, and loved it. But I've been working out for football since then and am 18 and am sitting at around 240. Should I go up the the longboard? this is for going around campus.

Thanks for watching man! Their suggested weight limit is 250, so you should be good. Out of all the boards, yes I'd go with the 36" longboard. I've personally never tested it at 250lbs with anyone, so I can't say 100%. If I were you, I'd email Penny Skateboards just to confirm you'll be okay

I've been finding longboarding to be more difficult than a cruiser with me being a beginner still. It was mainly because the flex in the longboard made me feel not as confident because it's more unstable. The cruiser I was able to get in no time. I'm 6'4" with a size 14 shoe so I think the width in the cruiser help that part of my stability and balance.

Thanks a bunch man. Not often when people are honest.

That's awesome you're getting back into skating! Yes, the main difference is the size, but also the 32" has much thinner wheels. So if you want something that's gonna be the easiest and you don't care about size, then go with the 36". Another option would be to check out a Landyachtz Dinghy - they're well made wooden boards that are great for cruising

I'm 5.9 145 lbs guy riding a 22 inch penny. Tbh its a bit hard to control my balance and a bit scarier to go downhill sometimes but portability of it is much better than the others imo.

i love my 27” but i might drop some to get the 36” just for the sake of being able to ride faster and not worry too much about the tiny cracks and pebbles and if they’re significant enough to send me off my 27”

I think it all boils down to your preference and comfortability. I'm 34 y/o and I use the 22in Penny..✌

ill be honest ive used a pennyboard 22" from when i was 7 to now 14 after 4 years id be skating at extremely fast speeeds on pavements against cracks bumps pebbles . i mainly got the hang of it after a year and a half

Great video! It was very informative but I still doubt that If I’m a beginner and I just want to cruise around here and there but do no tricks should I get the 27’ or....?

I just bought my very first longboard. It is 26" a Reaper. It seems long enough for my big feet and light enough so I can carry it to any store I might visit while being outside 😁

This video helped alot tbh

Hey! Really great video. I loved all the details and descriptions you gave for each board. I’m a college student. I have the 22” Penny board but like you said, it feels too small sometimes and I don’t feel super comfortable riding over cracks like on the sidewalk and stuff. It also seems like I have to keep on pushing a lot just to get some momentum. So it feels like I’m pushing more than actually riding if that makes sense. I am looking for something that I can use around campus but something that’s relatively easy to carry around like while walking or bringing it with me on the bus. What would you recommend? The 27”, 32”, or 36”? I’m also not super interested in tricks. I mean, I wouldn’t mind learning like one or two but that’s not my main concern. What would you recommend? I’d mostly be using it for transportation. Thank you so much!

What kind of scate or longboard would you suggest for city ridding... like in chicago

Thanks bro

hey is the 29inch the easiest to turn on ?

I own the 36 and that thing is a dream if you live in a parking lot with a lot of curbs and you're practicing tricks you don't have to worry about it hitting the curb and ripping up the wood

So my friend has this penny board, he just started to learn how to skate. I was like yo, can I try this out and he was like sure. Man, I loved that board easy for a 13-year-old to ride it's smooth and the turning was perfect.

I love love love love my wooden boards......but I'm eyeing the Penny Nickel to mod into a Mini/micro Surfskate setup. Its semantics, but personally I consider 25" -28" decks mini's and 24" and under Micro's. I've been having a blast building 22"-24" setups with a Meraki and am Intruigued to try a plastic board and see how it feels. I'm thinking 3" Penny truck hangers on a Nickel board with a Meraki ( or even the Waterborne) would be a riot to ride.

Can you do a video for longboard shapes?

A bit of silly reason but the 22 inch is the most recommended in my opinion. Solely cause if you just wanna start out, then most likely you'll find only the 22 inch board. Our second hand had 22 inch, regular skateboard and a longboard. At a sixth of the cost of a brand new one.

As a 5ft girl would it make sense to get a 22 in my shoe size is six

And how is the grip on the penny boards without a grip tape?

I messed up, I recently got a 22 inch penny board and on shoe size I’m like 8.5 or something and my foot was falling off then I though it wasn’t my thing but I guess it was just uncomfortable

hey I'm a longboarder and i love cruising but i dont want the massive board what one should i get that isnt small and a good size

I’m a size 14 and ride a 22” penny board from magneto in their cruiser shape with trucks and wheels from my other retrospec deck

Which one is best for burning?

I did byed 22inch, fell 2 times in short period, feel that bord too small to me 40-41size of feet. So I give it to woman that have 2 boys 8,11 and they enjoy it, I gave them too secure stuff. So i purchase yesterday NKX 27inch cruiser(hope this one is better for size of my feet and comfortable to use), price is very close to penny cruisers, but there was big discount on one of colors, happily I liked that combinations of colors gray board with red transparent wheels (it costs me 39,95€+15€, but normally price was over 100 euro). But I did buy it as bord for traveling, because I have also Apollo longboard Weird 100cm long. Because 22inch, is not so stable for beginner. So as first board longboard is moost secure to buy, as grand board. If someone use NKX plastic cruisers or Apollo longboards, give me your toughts about your experience of it. Thanks for feedback

Brilliant review, detailed and very informative, props on the video. Currently landlocked, so I got the 29" Surfskate Blackout & it is first rate, love how smooth it rides and turn, quite similar to a Carver with C7 trucks. Debating between the 32" & 27" to add to my lockdown quiver, it'll be for cruising mostly and definitely no tricks, which one would you recommend?

@concrete-waves

Thanks so much, stoked to hear that! Yeah the 29" is definitely a blast to ride. As far as a cruiser, the 27" is probably a better option since the wheels are thicker, making it easier to cruise over pebbles/cracks. However, I'm personally not a huge fan of Penny boards for cruising, so another option would be to check out Landyachtz Dinghy, which start around $139. But if you're set on Penny, then I'd recommend the 27". The one thing I don't like about the 22" & 27" is that the decks are completely flat and it just doesn't feel that enjoyable to ride (imho). Sorry if that didn't really help, but those are some of my thoughts after riding them

Sorry I meant to comment on this profile about the 22" OG penny boardbuild that will change your mind and maybe even make you fallin love with the type. The build is actually a very much more evolved version of the 22", but it still stays true to the actual size, but I like mine with the kick and concaved surface.. I just add grip tape to make it actually usable because that plastic is so slippery, especially when wet, its such a suprise that people even took off with the trend. I do feel like toy's r us and the "little kids first board that doesnt actually ride but is SOOOOO CUTE", probably factored in to a lot of the sales, but when wally world took them on , that man became a millionaire overnight, lol.
