Longboard skateboards do not come close to the surfboard in size but longboarding is sometimes referred to as surfing on concrete.

Those who need the longboard as a means of transportation will look for one that is more flexible such as to offer a comfortable ride. Slalom longboards are mostly used for racing.

Longboarding is the brand new innovation in skateboarding. Like any other skateboard, the longboard has four fiberglass wheels that let you cruise the smooth pavements. However, the longboard is a bit longer and its ground clearance is a bit higher than that of a skateboard. The wheels are also wider.
The longboard is made out of plywood materials around a half inch thick. The board is designed to be flexible so you can maneuver yourself easily. Oftentimes, plywood breaks apart during accidents and when making tricks. Thus, some longboarders switch to the bamboo longboard which is said to be a stronger, durable and yet very flexible alternative. Bamboo, after all, is known to be very strong and is still often used as scaffolding for building constructions in many countries in Asia.
