Longboards under $100? Not impossible.
Finding the best longboard for under $100 can be a real challenge, especially with so many options. We’re going to try to make your job a little easier, and list our top 5 choices in the under $100 price range.
As you shop longboards you should note that as your skill level increases, you may want to look into assembling your own deck. Many pre-assembled decks are built with the amateur in mind; giving good overall performance, but not excelling in any one single category.

The deck comes pre-assembled, and measures 9″ wide by 42″ long. The deck is 10 layers of 100% Canadian maple, and comes with 7″ heavy-duty trucks and 70mm wheels. Excellent art also makes this deck a great choice for someone who wants the flash to match their ride.

Krown Rasta Pin Tail Longboard – #3
Another board in Krown’s Pin Tail line of longboards, the Rasta is another great choice for the beginner. It offers similar specifications to the ‘Wood Sunset’ model, meaning 10 ply maple construction and lightweight design.
