Whenever you consult the web and ask what the best possible cruiser is, almost everybody mentions the Landyachtz Dinghy. Now Landyachtz has been in the business for 20+ years and boasts high quality, great price, amazing design, and superior functionality. I got curious and wanted to see for myself so I decided to buy a Dinghy and do an in-depth review.

The Landyachtz Dinghy is great for short distances. It’s responsive, portable, and consists of quality parts that work straight out of the box. It handles well on rough roads but it’s not for tricks, downhill, or riding skateparks. Beginners might find the Dinghy challenging.

I’m going to cover everything and even made a video that demonstrates what this board can do. I and my friend decided to take it out for a test ride and take it apart piece by piece to find out why this board has such a great reputation.

Here’s the short version of this review.

• The Dinghy is very portable
• Durable, it can last for a decade
• Very responsive
• Low effort to get up to speed
• Also suitable for beginners, the learning curve might be challenging
• Great components that go really well together
• It just looks great
• Wheels and bearings aren’t great
• Heavier than a regular skateboard, lighter than a longboard
• Tall people might find it too small, not suitable for heavy riders
• Takes some time to break in the bearings and tweak the trucks

Not Really for Freeride Longboarding

Pumping is possible, tricks are possible but limited, rough roads, the dinghy is the perfect portable commuter, concave and shape, polar bear trucks, bear riser pads (0.25 inches), swapping the wheels, bear spaceball bearings, dinghy durability, is the landyachtz dinghy too small, loads of designs, is the landyachtz dinghy for beginners, recap: the good and the bad, price of the landyachtz dingy, about landyachtz, in conclusion, how does the landyachtz dinghy perform.

The Dinghy performs great on all sorts of surfaces . It handles everything with ease though sometimes you need to know what you’re doing.

So, is the Landyachtz Dinghy any good in terms of cruising? The simple answer… absolutely. Actually, this board was specifically designed for cruising in urban areas and cities. Thanks to the size of the wheels, this board can catch speed quickly (acceleration). Not only that, but this board is great for handling turns, thanks to the length of the board.

You’ll probably come across times when you’ll have to hop a curb while cruising around. The kicktail of the Dinghy makes this possible, and with ease. Expect the full urban transportation experience when riding this board. It’s fit for any city that you plan on commuting around and an ideal campus cruiser.

You’ll then have to quickly catch speed again. Want to hit a pedestrian? Of course not, so you’ll be making a lot of quick turns. You’ll be hopping curbs like no tomorrow. With all of this going on, the Dinghy really delivers on quality and control. You’ll be able to handle all of these situations with ease. It’s exactly what the Landyachtz Dinghy was built for.

The Landyachtz Dinghy is not specifically made for freeriding . However, you can still pull this off and have a good time doing so. The Dinghy is a shortboard, while freeriding boards are typically a bit longer. If your main goal is for freeriding, then you should probably consider another board. 

But, just because there are better freeriding options, that doesn’t mean you can’t pull some nice slides on the Landyachtz Dinghy. Thanks to the concave shape of the board, sliding will be easier since you’ll be able to lock your feet. The wheels of the Dinghy won’t keep you from sliding either. This board was built for cruising in the city.

Is the Landyachtz Dinghy appropriate for pumping? It sure is! It does require experience and you need to know what you’re doing but this board can pull it off. I actually had a hard time keeping up with my friend while he was pumping. I switched to a longboard because I was pushing like a madman on my regular board to keep up.

The Polar Bear trucks come stock on the Dinghy, and though they might not be ideal for pumping, this video proves you can. You could consider other trucks, but why waste money. You’re better off assembling a cruiser or longboard yourself.

You can pull off ollies, manuals, and some old school tricks but I wouldn’t take it to a skatepark. While the Dinghy is capable of doing more technical tricks that are closer to skateboarding, I can’t really recommend it. The board wasn’t made for that and you’re better off with a regular skateboard.

Only really experienced skateboarders can pull this off. I’m going to test this soon and will add a video to show you how it performs in skateparks.

Sure, the Dinghy is capable of handling really tight turns which is great for bowls/pools, but the wheels are rather soft . Manuals, slides, and plenty of pop tricks are all possible with this board but don’t expect to be the next Rodney Mullen on this board.

As opposed to regular skateboards, the Dinghy has big soft wheels, which makes your rolling more smooth but landing tricks just feel a bit sketchy and unstable compared to a popsicle skateboard. Riding a bowl would be possible I guess, but I still recommend a different setup for that purpose.

The Dinghy is perfect for rough roads. The large Hawgs wheels have no issues with debris like rocks or twigs, you hardly even notice them . As you can see in the video it’s able to ride over small patches of grass and uneven surfaces. Coming from a skateboarding background this was a fun experience. You need to get to know the board before you do stuff like this or you’ll eat dirt.

I really wanted to try out its downhill capabilities but it was already late. Looking at the setup I don’t think this board is suitable for downhill . To quickly summarize… there are definitely better boards for downhill riding. This board is ultimately designed for cruising. It’s a small board with narrow trucks which will become unstable at a high velocity.

The Landyachtz Dinghy has a small wheelbase. This is not an advantage when going downhill, because with a smaller wheelbase comes less stability. And you need to be stable when you’re going downhill. Not only this, but you won’t be able to reach the same speeds that you would reach while riding on a downhill board. City riding doesn’t involve many huge hills, and therefore the Dinghy wasn’t specifically designed for riding downhill.

However, it’s not all negative. Thanks to the stiffness of the maple deck and Fatty Hawgs wheels, you can catch some decent speed downhill while maintaining your balance. Also, thanks to the mellow radial concave, you’ll have better foot lock-in when you’re traveling fast. Still, it’s rather risky and you should pick a different setup if this is your main goal.

This Dinghy is a compact commuter board. You can carry it around without feeling awkward and it can easily fit under your arm or just strap it on a backpack . The 24″ mini version actually fits inside a backpack! 

The compact design allows you to carry it pretty much anywhere you want which is convenient when you need to use public transport. It’s slightly smaller than a regular skateboard as you can see in the image below.

The Landyachtz Dinghy was specifically made as a longboard for cruising in urban areas or cities. Thanks to the size and design of its trucks and wheelbase, the Dinghy is capable of managing sharp turns while maintaining stability.

The design of the kicktail will allow you to do tricks, such as ollies and manuals. Experienced riders can use it to slide or even do some technical tricks on a quarter pipe, though it wasn’t really designed for that.

This board isn’t t for serious downhill riding or freeriding and not for technical street skaters . It accelerates fast but doesn’t have a high top-speed as compared to downhill boards. I still think it goes fast enough to do what it’s supposed to when you push hard enough. It takes a while to slow down so this means a great cruising experience without having to push all the time.

This board is made for people who want to commute and have a fun and relaxing riding experience , and Landyachtz certainly succeeded. It has no issues with rough roads and you can even plow through a patch of grass when needed (as demonstrated in the video).

I took the Dinghy apart to see what kind of parts you get. Overall the components are of superior quality but I have some doubts about the bearings which I will address later on. Let’s see what you get:

• 7-ply maple wood deck with a medium concave 
• Square shaped kicktail and short oblong-shaped nose
• Wheel wells to prevent wheelbite
• Width: 8.0″.
• Length: 28.5″.
• Wheelbase: 14.6″.
• This version has clear grip tape lasts for many years under heavy use
• Two 4″ bear trucks 
• 1/4″ rubber riser pads to absorb shocks
• Four Hawgs wheels size 63mm with a durometer of 78A
• 8 Bear Spaceballs 8mm ABEC7 Bearings
• 8 speedwashers
• 8 bolts and nuts to attach your trucks

Stiff Maple Wood Deck 

Longboarders and skateboarders all over the world speak highly of the Landyachtz Dinghy deck and my test only confirms this. It’s both strong, durable and consists of high-quality 7-ply maple wood .

If we’re talking length, the Dinghy comes in sizes from 24”-28.5”. The range of widths are from 6.5”-8.5”, and you can get the wheelbase between 14”-15”. Overall, this board is fairly short with a small wheelbase.

The deck is very sturdy and doesn’t have any flex . This is something you might need to get used to if you also ride a flexy longboard. The Landyachtz Dinghy was made for fun , and the sturdiness allows you to do ollies though you can feel it wasn’t really made for that purpose.

I was a bit skeptical about the clear grip tape at first, but it’s actually pretty good and last for a very long time. I friend of mine owns an older model and the grip tape still holds after 8 years , even after abusing the board over and over again. I’ll go into durability in a moment. The clear grip will allow you to stand steady on your board and it just looks really nice.

Not all versions have clear grip tape, this is only the case with the Dinghy Summit. The grip provides enough grip to keep your feet in place but also allows you to move around for minor corrections.

It comes with wheel wells to prevent wheelbite which is great for people that love loose trucks and deep carves. I personally didn’t experience any wheels touching the board.

The combination of wheel wells and riser pads prevent any wheel blocking on sharp turns. 

The deck of the Landyachtz Dinghy has a mellow radial concave . The side is slightly elevated to get more board feel when performing tricks, it makes the board respond faster. Concave isn’t for everyone, it takes away from the stability you get from a board that’s entirely flat, but this thing is designed for playful rides .

On top of that, it allows you to perform sliding movements with a bit more ease. I think the concave is perfectly balanced, I hardly notice it but I come from a skateboarding background. I’m perfectly able to move my feet around despite the brand-new grip.

The Dinghy shape is directional and features both a nose and tail that are elevated , just like a popsicle. The nose is pointier shaped than the tail. The tail allows you to ollie or hop curbs or dig in a little when you come across a patch of grass. It will help you stay balanced while you lean back. 

The kicktail allows you to hop curbs while cruising and the soft wheels will make the landing pleasant. I was expecting it to bounce a lot but it really holds up well.

Another benefit of the tail is that you can do a few kickturns in parks or diagonal street objects if you’re up for it. Since this board is so stiff and the wheelbase is short, you may experience speed wobbles when you’re moving fast.

It also features a nose similar to regular skateboards though I haven’t really discovered the advantages yet. You could use it for nose manuals I guess.

As you can see in the image, the Dinghy has Polar Bear trucks, the axle width is 105mm. They seem a bit narrow and they are. It’s a compact board and the trucks need to fit right? Landyachtz did a really good job of balancing out all the parts . If you’re a longboarder the narrow trucks might feel a bit less stable than that you’re used to. Skateboarders will probably have no issues.

Bear trucks did a lot of R&D and found the perfect balance between the elastic zone permanent deformation by testing them on a destructometer. This means the truck can withstand huge impacts by bending and returning to its normal shape. 

The aggressive angle of the hangers increases their strength and the axels are heat-treated and reinforced to keep them from bending.

The trucks baseplates consist of 8 holes, which you can use to adjust the wheelbase. I tried but the result was a small gap between the board and the baseplate.

Still for a board this small I find it surprisingly stable so something was done right. The trucks are highly maneuverable, which also has to do with the soft bushings. 

The cup washers hold the bushings in their place and protect them from being damaged by the kingpin nut. The Pivot cups in the baseplate keep the Dinghy turning effectively at the baseplate’s intended angle.

I can’t seem to find any specifications about the hardness of the bushings but they feel medium soft. The bottom bushing is shaped like a barrel, while the top bushing is shaped like a cone. Bushings have different shapes to allow for different riding styles.

This barrel/cone combo is just great for the ability to perform maneuvers in tight corners. If you really can’t get used to them and the trucks feel too loose, it might have something to do with your weight . Consult my bushings guide in order to find out what you need.

The large bushing seats on the Dinghy help control your turning abilities (along with the pivot cup and washers) but at first, they felt incredibly loose. You don’t want to tighten the kingpin nut right away as this may lead to crushed bushings. Break them in first by riding the board or rocking it sideways by leaning.

After an hour or so tighten them just a little, if I recall correctly I only turned the nut once which was enough . This board was designed for commuting the city. This means that you will have to make a lot of quick and sharp turns and a reliable, responsive board.

The Landyachtz Dinghy has quarter-inch riser pads equipped between the trucks and the deck. These are to prevent wheel bite when you make sharp turns or land a bit hard on the sides. Heavier riders run more risk getting wheel bite compared to lightweights. The Risers give a little bit of extra clearance between the board and the wheels (the board also has wheel wells just in case). 

They are rather soft which helps to absorb impact from shocks and they reduce vibration from rough roads. 

The Dinghy Hawgs Wheels

The wheels of the Dinghy have diameters of 63mm. These are Fatty Hawgs wheels which were designed and created by Landyachtz themselves. The average size of wheels on most longboards is around 70mm (guestimate), meaning that the Dinghy’s wheels are a lot smaller. But what does that mean?

The smaller wheels will allow for quicker acceleration. However, your overall top speed will be decreased because of these smaller wheels. The Landyachtz is not quite as fast as a downhill board, but it will still reach incredible speeds for what it’s worth .

Although these wheels are smaller than average, they are still extremely smooth. You’ll hardly feel small bumps even at the highest speeds and they can take on rough surfaces like no other.

With a durometer of 78A, these wheels are very soft but still rather solid. I had no issues with cracks, grass patches, and really rough concrete. You’ll be able to tackle cracks in the sidewalk and plenty of metal objects without severely damaging your wheels.

Stay away from glass though, splinters can get stuck in your wheels. You’ll find the huge 50mm contact patch of these wheels to have great grip while still being able to perform slides in a controllable manner.

You do feel their limitations when you try ollies though. It’s just a bit bouncy and harder to control your board when landing. I also would like to point out that (like any wheel) they will wear down faster on rougher surfaces. Still, they’ll last you for a few years but I’ll update this post once I learned more.

After testing out other wheels I can say that the Fatty Hawgs are ok but to make this the best cruiser, consider other wheels. It performed so much better after replacing the wheels with Orangatang Fat Free wheels, way more grippy and smooth. I also swapped the bearings for Bronson Raws and the difference is night and day.

I also tried OJ Super Juice wheels but the contact patch is just a bit too small. Want the most out of this board? Go for the Fat Free wheels.

As with the rest of the longboard, Landyachtz manufactures its own bearings. This specific brand is called Bear Spaceball bearings. These bearings boast a rating of ABEC7. However, it’s good to keep in mind that ABEC doesn’t really factor too much into longboards and skateboards .

ABEC rating is for machines with high RPMs, like over 9000. You won’t get more than 2000 RPM on a skateboard (downhillers might disagree).

The Bear Spaceball bearings are equipped with built-in spacers, I was a bit surprised actually because I never saw that before. The good news is, they are open bearings which makes it a lot easier to clean and lube compared to closed bearings.

I still would prefer separate metal spacers with open bearings and I’m not sure why Landyachtz decided to use built-in spacers, they are the experts so I’m sure I’m missing something here. Fancy stuff though, can’t argue with that.

The Bear Spaceball bearings are open bearings which makes them easy to clean and lube. You don’t have to worry about dust because the outer rings and spacers keep dirt out. I wouldn’t recommend riding in the rain though.

Spacers are often overlooked but they help to keep the dirt out and prevent destroying them when you tighten the nut too much and prevent crushing the inner workings. They also allow you to tighten your axles without screwing up the rest of your setup. If you decide to replace the bearings, make sure to get spacers!

I’m not yet convinced yet about these bearings and already noticed they perform less than in the first week. I might lube them a bit but I expected more. If they start to wear down sooner than expected I’ll replace them with Bones bearings. 

The board is quite heavy and made of quality maple wood and will chip if you don’t handle it right. I wouldn’t recommend smashing into the corner of a wall, but that seems pretty obvious. It takes a bit of effort to pop the tail and landing ollies is a bit more challenging compared to a popsicle. This probably has to do with it’s slightly narrower profile and bigger wheels.

This board is meant for cruising and not for flip tricks. Treat her right and she’ll hold up just fine. Don’t ride in the rain, this will dissolve the epoxy resin holding the layers together and your board will delaminate, not to mention damaging the bearings.

In the picture above are an older and rather trashed Dinghy and a brand new model. A friend of mine owns it for almost 8 years and he’s known for trashing boards. Oh boy, that tail suffered hard but even after almost a decade, it still is his favorite board.

This longboard is a lot smaller than most others. So, you may be wondering if it’s big enough for you to ride on. Basically, all of this comes down to 2 things: your own size (height, and arguably shoe size), and the type of riding you plan on doing.

If you have an above-average shoe size, then you may have problems getting comfortable on this board. The deck is 8” wide, so you’ll need to decide if this is large enough for you to be comfortable with the size of your shoes. When encountering tight turns, you may experience instability because of your toes sticking out.

Also, due to the short length of this board, it may be tough for taller people to get a good stance. However, if you’re around 6’4” or shorter, you shouldn’t have a problem here. It’s also a preference thing, I know tall riders that ride small boards and short riders that ride large boards.

And onto the “type of riding” part… the size of this board is great for what it’s meant to do, which is commuting around a city and just cruising. This smaller size is going to be great for weaving in and out of obstacles, such as other pedestrians. And with most things, it’s going to come down to your personal riding preference.

So you’re interested in the Landyachtz Dinghy. But you’re curious as to what your options will be as far as the designs go. Well, here’s the good news… there are over 20 designs for the Dinghy and 3 different sizes . The largest is 28.5″, in between the 26″ and the smallest is only 24″.  There’s a good chance that there’s a design out there that will fit you and your personality.

If you need some examples to look into, I got you covered. One of the top-selling Dinghy boards is the Emboss. Some other very popular designs include the Dinghy Beach Party, the Dinghy Summit (as reviewed here), and the Dinghy Trout. Be sure to check out all of the others as well.

I picked the Summit because I just adore the design. My friend now rides this board in the city and people actually compliment him on his fine board.

Lastly, if you want a board without concave go for the Landyachtz Dinghy Handstand. This is a dedicated cruiser without a curved nose and kicktail which results in a more stable ride.

The learning curve might be a bit steeper for beginners. Many reviews claim that this board isn’t for beginners but I’m not entirely convinced after riding and testing it myself. I even let a beginner ride this board and she didn’t have much trouble at all.

Sure there’s a bit of a learning curve here, the concave might feel a bit awkward at first but you should get used to it fairly quickly. Take some time to learn how to ride, you’ll get it. Find a spot that’s not crowded and preferable a smooth surface.

The Landyachtz Dinghy has been designed as a board for city cruising. It has extremely responsive trucks and is very twitchy. It’s a bit less stable than most boards that are recommended for beginners. Don’t skip on this board because you’re a beginner or inexperienced rider.

It takes a bit more effort to get to know the board, but once you do you won’t look back. If you want to be on the safe side, consider the Landyachtz Dinghy Handstand. It doesn’t have any concave, the deck is entirely flat making it easier to ride. If you eventually want to hop curbs and slide a bit, go for it. It’s a waste of money to buy another board first.

Are you fairly-experienced in either skateboarding or longboarding? Then go for it! Skip it when you are heavier or your shoe size 11+ (US). In this case I would recommend the Landyachtz Tugboat (review).

We’ll start off with the good parts. The Landyachtz Dinghy has that longboard feel to it, yet has the control and agility of a skateboard. It’s rather stiff and lacks flex, and a medium concave to help you perform tricks. Thanks to the kicktail of the Dinghy, it’s possible to do a few tricks such as ollies and manuals.

The Fatty Hawgs wheels will enable you to do slides on this board. The Bear Spaceball bearings are supposed to be top-rated and high-quality,and they hold up fine so far. Although it’s not a downhill board, you’ll still be able to have fun cruising downhill (if you’re experienced enough) but do so at your won risk. And of course, this board is a bit smaller than the average, making it easier to carry around to your next destination.

I think this board is fine for beginners but the learning curve might be a bit steeper, make sure you really want to get into skateboarding/longboarding. You can always go for the version without concave if this is holding you back.

This is a great cruiser and you won’t regret buying the Dinghy, check evo.com for prices or compare prices and models on Amazon.

Now for the bad parts. The board designs are beautifully-crafted (pro), but this decreases your motivation for doing heavy tricks (con). If you have big feet, you may find it riding on the small deck of the Dinghy uncomfortable, though my friend with size 13 doesn’t have any issues.

The board is a bit heavy but you won’t notice when you ride it. I think the weight makes it more stable and can’t be considered a con. It’s really portable and you won’t be bothered carrying it around.

While the price isn’t a part of the actual board itself, it’s something to put in perspective. If you’ve gotten this far and are truly interested in the Dinghy, then it’s only fair that we talk about costs.

Here’s the good news… for its quality and efficiency, this board is truly affordable . Prices will vary depending on where you look, but you should expect to spend no more than $150 for this high-quality cruiser (except for Europeans like me, I paid about 170 Euros but got a bunch of really cool stickers). And that’s with all the top-notch components included.

There are many boards of similar quality that sell for much higher prices, but they can’t do what the Dinghy does. This board almost gets you the best bang for your buck in but there is a contender that is even better.

Landyachtz was started by only 2 people and has now grown to 60+ employees. This Canadian company now has shops in California and British Columbia as well. Landyachtz has been making longboards and accessories for over 20 years, and still going strong.

So Landyachtz specializes in longboards, but how about the accessories? By now you’ve heard of Hawgs Wheels and Bear Trucks. Both of these brands are well-known in the longboarding community as being of the highest quality. And they are both brands of Landyachtz. Are you environmentally friendly? Landyachtz is, as they plant a maple tree every time someone buys a board .

The Landyachtz Dinghy is a compact cruiser that is made for commuting around a city or any other urban area. This longboard has great stability and offers a comfortable ride. Hop curbs, pop a few ollies, slide when you’re ready and most of all… enjoy the experience. The Dinghy comes stock with high-quality components, all manufactured by Landyachtz themselves.

The Landyachtz Dinghy is one of the best at what it does: commuting through urban areas. The design will allow you to make all the quick turns you need when venturing through urban obstacles. You’ll be able to accelerate quickly whenever you need to. And although it’s not specifically a freeriding or downhill board, you can still pull this off (moderately) with enough experience.

There are more than 20 artistic designs to choose from, smaller versions and a dedicated cruiser without concave. What more can you ask for? If this is not your board check out a few more mini cruisers that I’ve tested and reviewed or check my top 11 list of best cruisers I personally tested.

Even though I’m not much of a longboarder, I am impressed by the quality. My friend likes it even more, so I decided to let him keep this board and I had to convince him because he thought it was too much.

Oh, I almost forgot. Why the 4star rating instead of 5? It mainly has to do with the bearings and wheels, not a fan when compared to other brands. Only the Comet Cruiser gets 5 stars.

I’m an aged skateboarder and still shred responsibly. Started skateboarding 25 years ago, peaked in the 2000’s, and still ride to this day. I am a total geek when it comes to skateboard gear, love test to stuff and share my findings.

Landyachtz Dinghy skateboard owner feedback: pros and cons

Here’s a rundown of the Dinghy’s main strengths and weaknesses according to Dinghy owners:

Landyachtz Dinghy pros

• Riders love the Dinghy’s dimensions, quality parts, and awesome designs. Phenomenal product, best board out there from a top brand in the $150 price area
• The Dinghy has the feel of a longboard but the control of a skateboard
• The Dinghy gives a very smooth ride. Most riders feel the wheels are soft and good at going over cracks and uneven pavement (though some disagree, see Cons below)
• The Dinghy is a perfect little shredder for anyone with experience. You can do all sort of tricks and still have the cruising ability of a well-designed longboard.
• The Dinghy’s stiff flex gives the board good stability
• The Dinghy has very functional kicktails for doing ollies here and there
• The Dinghy is very lightweight to carry around, perfect for campus, fits in your backpack. Exceptional board for cruising around campus and the city.
• The Dinghy is strong enough for doing tricks, including for a 200-pound rider
• The Dinghy’s bearings are phenomenal out of the box
• The Dinghy is precisely engineered. probably the best quality setup for the price.
• Sidewalk-to-street transitions on the Dinghy are smooth
• The Dinghy can be taken down hills if you’re experienced enough
• Compared to a Penny board, the Dinghy is lighter, wider, and stiffer
• The Dinghy carves really well
• The 63mm 78A Fatty Hawg wheels are perfect for doing little slides.
• The Polar Bear trucks on the Dinghy allow for deep and fluid carves even at higher speeds.
• The Landyachyz Dinghy has absolutely gorgeous artwork e.g. the Dinghy Blunt Meowijuana or Wild Cats , Dinghy Ibiscus , Dinghy Emboss

Landyachtz Dinghy cons

• If you’re a heavier rider, you may feel a bumpy or sluggish ride on bad pavement with the Dinghy’s original wheels. Fitting some Orangatang Stimulus with Dime bag wedged risers can improve things significantly.
• The Dinghy’s stock wheels quickly get dirty and bad-looking
• The Dinghy is sensitive to poor foot placement or bad balancing, especially if coming from a longboard – you’ll need to up your skills
• The Dinghy sits up quite high and the small wheelbase makes it a little tricky
• The Dinghy’s artwork is just too nice to scratch, hindering your motivation to try tricks!
• The Dinghy’s stock cone/barrel bushings are high quality but may be a bit soft for a heavier rider. Higher duro bushings e.g. Venoms (Amazon) are recommended.
• The Dinghy may scratch up quite easily if you do heavy tricks
• Make sure you have risers on your Dinghy setup before going down a hill – else you may risk a nasty crash

So that’s what the Dinghy owners have been saying. Now let’s dig in a bit deeper and look at what the Dinghy is capable of.

What is the Landyachtz Dinghy good for?

The Landyachtz Dinghy is a smaller commuter longboard that can easily be carried under your arm, in a backpack, on the bus or on a plane, easy to store in a locker or closet.  Its main appeal stems from its attractive, practical and fun image.

The board’s narrow (105mm) topmount trucks and small wheelbase make it very nimble and turny .  On the other hand, it’s also surprisingly stable , making it a nice board for cruising, carving, and riding down mellow hills.

It’s small enough to do tricks such as ollies, kickflips, and manuals, and its kicktail makes it easy to jump on and off curbs and big potholes – flawless sidewalk to street transitions.  It’s also good for riding bowls and ramps at the skatepark  (assuming you choose a longboard vs a regular skateboard ).

It’s worth noting that the Dinghy is best suited for an intermediate rider due to its small size and wheelbase, topmount style (the board sits really high) and fast trucks.  Although it’s relatively stable in relation to its size, a beginner longboarder may prefer a drop-through (lower deck) as a first board for more stability and easier pushing.

Also keep in mind that, while the Landyachtz Dinghy is a great casual mini-cruiser and “slasher” (for simple kick tricks), it’s not meant for serious freeriding or downhill speed – it’s just too small and not stable enough for that.

See the Dinghy’s versions on Amazon or here on Evo .

NOTE : since this article, I’ve published a new review of the Landyachtz Tugboat , the other ruling mini-cruiser from Landyachtz. Check it out also for the lowdown on Dinghy vs Tugboat.

Features of the Landyachtz Dinghy

The Dinghy complete longboard comes with high-quality components including Hawgs wheels, Polar Bear trucks, and Spaceball bearings – as opposed to generic no-name components.  The deck, trucks, and wheels were designed together to ensure full compatibility and precise engineering for the complete longboard.

The price for the complete, normally around $130, is actually lower than the sum of its components (around $150 between the deck, trucks, wheels, bearings, risers, hardware, and grip tape).

The Dinghy comes in 3 different sizes to accommodate smaller riders :

• Landyachtz Dinghy 28:   28.5″ length, 8″ width, 14.6″ wheelbase
• Lanyachtz Mini Dinghy 26 : 26″ length, 6.5″ width, 14″ wheelbase
• Landyachtz Mini Dinghy 24:   24″ length, 6.5″ width, 14″ wheelbase – for featherweight riders

Aside from the deck, all size models use the same components.

The Landyachtz Dinghy’s deck

The first thing that pops out when looking at the Dinghy is its quality directional   topmount deck.  If you’re like most Dinghy owners, you will probably like the strength and durability of the sturdy 7-ply maple deck layups over time.

Flex and grip

The deck is relatively stiff , suitable for popping and sliding the board.  It has a mellow radial concave which allows for comfortable foot placement when turning fast, riding downhill or sliding, albeit without locking in your feet too much.

Likewise, the durable clear grip provides good foot traction, but not so much as to make it difficult to turn your feet.  Some versions have a thin foam layer between the board and the grip tape for extra comfort – but not all models.

Kicktails and clearance

The ample kicktail  invites you to perform kick turns and small jumps.  The small nose makes it easy to pull manuals and other tricks.  The deck is slightly heavier than a regular skateboard, so popping ollies requires more leg muscle.

See also: can you ollie on a Penny board?

The deck has flared wheel wells providing more clearance for carving, a must-have given the Landyachtz Dinghy’s highly turny trucks and short wheelbase.  The wheel wells and risers help avoid wheelbite for those tight turns.

Some caveats

While the maple construction gives the Dinghy strength and durability, it also has its downsides. For one thing, maple decks are not as water resistant as bamboo or hybrid ones and absorb water over time, thus making it heavier.

Wooden decks also tend to chip faster .  Nevertheless, many Dinghy owners reported their boards hold up for an unusually long time without signs or wear and tear.

Finally, the Landyachtz Dinghy’s deck can suffer from speed wobbles  early on at faster speed because of its stiffness and short wheelbase (read about  overcoming speed wobbles) .  But of course, speed is NOT what the mini -cruiser was built for in the first place.

See the Dinghy’s price and versions on Amazon or here on Evo .

Landyachtz Dinghy’s trucks

The Dinghy comes with 105mm, traditional kingpin Polar Bear trucks with enlarged bushing seats for more turnability.  That’s quite a narrow truck, not as stable as a bigger one, but that’s to be expected given the small size of the Dinghy’s deck.

Bear trucks have very high tolerances to minimize slop.  The hangers are machine faced for increased strength and the axels are heat treated and reinforced to keep them spinning straight.

The trucks baseplates have 8 holes, which allows you to customize your board by leveraging either the old school or new school hole pattern.  The trucks also come with 0.25″ risers to reduce the risk of wheelbite.

Some riders find the bushings initially a bit squeaky, though that’s the case with most new bushings until they get broken in.  You may choose to replace them with other quality bushings such as   Venom bushings  (Amazon) matching your weight and style.

Landyachtz Dinghy’s wheels

The Dinghy complete comes with Hawgs Fatty 63mm wheels – again, Landyachtz owns the Hawgs brand.  Hawgs wheels use proprietary urethane and rigorously tested downhill under freeriding conditions.

The Hawgs are the same wheels that come with the high-end Landyachtz downhill / freeride models, so they boast superior quality as confirmed by most Dinghy owners.

Smaller but very smooth

While the 63mm diameter wheels are adequately small to match the Dinghy’s size and fast turning trucks, they have great roll speed for their size.  With their soft 78A durometer, they feel somewhat squishy yet still firm .  The Fatties strike that sweet spot between smooth rolling on all kinds of terrains and easy breaking into slides .

You’ll find the wheels to be buttery smooth – you can barely feel the bumps even at higher speeds.  The wheels can really run over almost anything – including sidewalk cracks and even metal chunks, without easily getting chipped.

Grippy yet slidy

These wheels’ small size and proportionally wide contact patch (50mm) make them very controllable for slides while still being grippy enough.  Their very rounded lips on both sides also greatly facilitate kicking into slides.

Another feature of the Fatties that makes them quite versatile is the offset positioning of the wheel cores.  With this positioning, the core (hard material inside the soft urethane) is placed somewhere in between the inner side of the wheel and the center – as opposed to centerset and sideset cores.

Offset positioning results in a balanced mix of grip and slide .  The Fatties’ very wide and supportive cores are actually “very offset”, reflecting the Landyachtz Dinghy’s focus on sliding and tricks when carving the streets.

Landyachtz Dinghy’s bearings

The bearings that come stock with the Dinghy are Bear Spaceball bearings .  Here again, not your typical generic, no-name, low-quality component.  These are very decent, ABEC7 bearings (though ABEC does not mean much for longboarding).

The built-in spacers help the wheels stay aligned and wiggle free, make it easier to change the wheels, and let you tighten your axles to your liking without messing up the setup.

As a Dinghy rider, you’ll find these bearings allow your wheels to roll for a long time, and are strong enough to withstand a lot of popping tricks without getting damaged.

Although most Dinghy owners agree these bearings are pretty good, you may still choose to upgrade to even better ones such as Bone Reds for more speed (for more info check out this post, the section upgrading your bearings ).

Dinghy graphics and designs

One of the things skaters really love about the Landyachtz Dinghy is its really cool choice of graphic design – some of them engraved in wood. View the Dinghy graphics on Amazon or here on Evo .

The Dinghy Emboss , for example, with its very sober looks, has been a top seller in Landyachtz’s mini cruiser category.   Some Dinghy owners actually order a second Dinghy just to hang it on their wall!

Other popular Dinghy versions include the Red Dragon, Crown Peak, Burger, Coffin, and Blunt.

The Dinghy Skeleton features a really cool white skeleton character on a black background:

Questions about the Landyachtz Dinghy’s size

Longboarders considering the Dinghy sometimes wonder about the board being too small. As discussed, whether it’s too small for your needs first depends on the kind of riding you want to do. The Dinghy is a great size board for city commuting, cruising, and easy transportation on sidewalks and around campus, being super nimble and portable.

Besides usage, though, you should also factor in your weight, height, and foot size when deciding whether the Dinghy is a good match for you. Some riders with larger feet may feel a 8″ deck is a bit narrow for comfortable riding – you may get “ footbite ” in really tight turns. Also, if you’re a taller rider, you may have a shorter stance than usual on the Dinghy because of the short length.

In short, the dinghy may not always be the best match for bigger riders. Here’s an excerpt from a helpful comment from Steve, one of my readers (see the comments section):

I’m 6ft and about 195lbs, size 10 (UK) feet. I snowboard and love to ride my loaded dervish Sama. I’ve has fun in various cities but find carrying it less convenient than it could be. I’ve not really ridden for about 3 or 4 years but fancied getting back out in the streets when I’m working away. So I just bought a Dinghy and have been learning to ride it for a few days. It does have its challenges! Foot placement is tricky for me, there is very little room for error. I have ridden 2 longboards, Sama and a Landyachtz Switchblade which are both low and long, easy and forgiving to push, I found a preferred foot position on both boards but it was adaptable, with the Dinghy I am almost hanging 5 and it teeters on the edge of my comfort zone. The higher deck on the Dinghy has given me a couple of sketchy foot braking moments and I’ve accidentally stomped on the kicktail a couple of times. The Dinghy is very nimble and at lower speeds is super comfortable. Today though I found that upping the speeds and looking to cruise around a wide curve it just didn’t behave as I was expecting. it was almost like I was leaning back with pressure on the toe edge to make the turn. weird! Summing up my few hours of riding experience on the Dinghy so far, there is a lot to love, its massive fun. riding the Sama now comparatively feels a little dull and predictable. It will be a steep learning curve and I expect to eat dirt regularly along the way, but I don’t think the challenges are insurmountable. I will find where my feet are best placed so my pushing and braking skills will improve. I hope to improve my skills so the Dingy becomes easy and fun for getting around cities 3 to 4 miles at the time, much faster than walking and much more fun than taking the bus. Most of all, I know it always fits in my suitcase so I never have an excuse not to have it with me.

Landyachtz Dinghy weight limit

While the Dinghy doesn’t have an official weight limit, riders above 250 pounds / 110 kilograms should probably choose a bigger or thicker board. The Dinghy’s 7-ply maple construction may not withstand that much weight, especially if riding hard.

Cruising & commuting on the Landyachtz Dinghy

The Dinghy is meant for city cruising and convenient urban transport. Its short size and wheelbase and the directional shape make it super nimble for weaving around people and things in tight spaces. The narrow turny Polar Bear trucks are very quick and turny  for sidewalk navigation.

The ample kicktail adds to the maneuverability and allows for easy curb and crack hopping. The Dinghy can easily be stashed into or onto a backpack, and painlessly carried around a store or a school building.

In short, the Dinghy really is a fast and nimble city slashing board. You can ride it pretty much everywhere on short trips around town instead of driving or taking the bus, and have a great time doing so. It does take a bit of skills to handle the Dinghy for commuting – see the section about beginners below.

Freeriding & downhill on the Dinghy

Short answer: not so much due to its small wheelbase. When going fast you need stability, which typically comes with a longer wheelbase and/or a lowered deck (e.g. drop-through trucks or a dropped platform). The Dinghy’s 14/14.5″ wheelbase is a bit short for real speed beyond small hills on your city commute path.

That being said, some experienced freeride and downhill riders are able to ride the Dinghy quite fast because of the deck’s stiffness and the Hawgs wheels nice grip. The mellow radial concave does provide a bit of foot lock-in at higher speed – albeit not as much as a true freeride board. At moderate speeds, the Dinghy’s topmount reactiveness and turny trucks allow for tight carves and easy breaking into slides.

To summarize, while the Dinghy is a a bit short for real speed, some experienced longboarders have some serious fun sliding on moderate hills.

Pumping on the Landyachtz Dinghy

With the righ trucks, the Dinghy can be made into a cool pumping board. Swapping the Bear trucks for some good surfskate trucks, e.g. Carver CX/C5 trucks, Slide trucks, or the Yow surfskate adapter, can turn the Dinghy into a small pumping machine. Although narrower than a typical surf skateboard (8″ vs 9″+), it can still pump very nicely on sidewalks, parking lots and garage driveways.

Check out my post on surfskate trucks to learn more about which truck to use.

Skatepark & street tricks on the Dinghy

Many riders love hitting the skatepark, ditches, and pools on their Dinghy. The responsiveness and tight turns make it a great board for park riding and street tricks such as kick tricks, manuals and slides. The Dinghy’s carving ability and smooth rolling on its bigger wheels (compared to a street board) also make it super fun for pool and ditch riding . Optionally slap some surf trucks on it and you’ll be really surfing the concrete on that awesome mini-cruiser.

The Landyachtz Dinghy is not for complete beginners

Due to its small size and responsive trucks, the Dinghy is quite twitchy – again, it’s designed for nimble city cruising and slashing. If you’re a beginner, you’ll normally want a more stable board, one with a lower turn-to-lean ratio, which means the board will turn less for the same amount of lean onto the edge.

A longer wheelbase, a wider deck with wider trucks, harder bushings, larger wheels, all these factors contribute to making a less twitchy longboard. Also as mentioned earlier, a drop-through or drop deck longboard will ride closer to the ground compared to the Dinghy and thus give you better stability for learning to kick push and ride confidently on flat ground.

Some new riders, however, have better than average balance and may get used quickly to the Dinghy’s responsive topmount ride. You may just fall for the coolness factor of the Dinghy and decide to learn on it no matter what! That may be easier, however, for a smaller rider than for a bigger one.

Landyachtz: the cruising company

I’ll wrap up with a quick word about the Landyachtz brand. Landyacthz has been building longboards for 20 years .  Started in a basement by two friends, it has grown into a 60 employee company with offices and retail space in Vancouver and Los Angeles, and a manufacturing facility in British Columbia.

Landyachtz also owns the Bear Trucks and Hawgs Wheels brands, both well-recognized in the longboarding community for their quality.  All the Lanyachtz complete longboards come with these trucks and wheels.

The company keeps a strong focus on their cruiser longboard category, putting special efforts in quality deck construction and quality components.  In addition to their mini-cruiser line – which includes the Dinghy, Landyachtz also has a full-size street cruiser line (ATV), a traditional pintail series (Freedom), and a freeride and downhill longboard series.

Wrapping up

If you’re looking for a cruiser small and light enough to take anywhere, yet stable enough to ride comfortably AND agile enough for slides and kick tricks (in short, you’re looking for a unicorn) then you’ve found it with the Landyachtz Dinghy – Amazon or Evo .

The mix of features and component quality you’ll get for the price is hard to beat.  And the graphics are just plain awesome, with plenty to choose from.

Just remember though, no single board can be everything to everyone.  So if you’re a total beginner, the Dinghy may be too small/fast /high riding for you.  Also, if you’re a downhill addict, the Dinghy will probably not give the stability and confidence you need at high speeds.

If you’re an intermediate level skater looking to carve the streets, you can also fine tune the Landyachtz Dinghy to suit your specific needs, tightening or loosening the trucks to make it more stable or faster, upgrading the bushings and bearings, etc.

Overall, most Dinghy owners agree you can’t go wrong with this board, provided you have the right skills for it.

Hi, I have been skating on my penny board for years and I wanna try something different as I have grown larger. But I wanna still have a bard that I can carry behind my bagpack with a clip.

Does a landyachtz dinghy have that function?

28 inch does seem abit bigger.

Whats your advice?

Thursday 29th of August 2019

Hi Jessie, I'm writing to you from Italy, and I would like know if also the Dinghy - as the Tugboat - has "the wedged risers on the front trucks", that "improves the board’s carving ability" and "helps to make the Tugboat much “surfier” and more pumpable than a regular longboard". I'm asking to you because I prefer ride without pushing with a surfskate in my flat land near Venice (not hills at all). Scuse me if I annoied you with this question, but at anyway thank'you very much for your work and your know-how.

Hey Michele,

I don't believe the Dinghy comes with wedged risers out of the box, however you can definitely fit some onto it for slightly improved pumping. If you really want to pump, however, you can mount a surf adapter like YOW on top of the Polar Bear trucks - see the YOW kit here on Amazon or the Waterborne surf adapter here. You can check out this post for in-depth info about surfskate adapters.

Alternatively, you may want to take a look at Slide surfskates (see Amazon Italy page here). Slide makes quality and affordable surfskates that work very well for pumping and carving. You can also check out my review of Slide surfskates here.

Hope this helps. Ride on! Jesse

Wednesday 3rd of July 2019

I'm looking for a longboard suitable for a pumping track and after some research I've decided that Dinghy may be a good candidate. I'm 65 kg and 185cm (144lbs, ~6ft). I don't have almost any experience with flat longboarding but I'm able to keep balance/speed on the pumping track so I'd call myself intermidiate. Is Landyachtz Dinghy a good choice for me?

Thanks, Tob

Hey Tob, are you referring to pumping TRUCKS? What kind of trucks do you mean? Surfskate trucks like Carver or Yow? Bennett truck for LDP? Do you want to pump for surf-style carving or are you looking more for long distance pumping on flat ground? Depending on your goals the answer is quite different! Aloha

Tuesday 25th of June 2019

I snowboard and have recently got into longboarding. I'm learning on a tan tien (39" with 27" wheelbase), which I can use pretty well on bike paths.

However, when I'm on sidewalks, I can't manage a 90 degree turn, even with proper bushings for my weight. I suspect it's just too long a wheelbase.

Looking at shorter wheelbase options, would you recommend something like a landyachtz dinghy (15" wheelbase) or something in the 20" wheelbase range (like a loaded poke)? I've never used a street skateboard so I have no preference for 15", but I'm not sure if 20" is small enough to handle sidewalks corners well.

Thanks, Vinay

Hey Vinay, yeah the reason you're having trouble handling tight corners is probably the size and drop-through design of the Tan Tien which is best-suited for distance riding/pushing and speed. I myself ride a Poke as my main board for everyday riding including city sidewalks. Not only is the Poke shorter than the Tan Tien with a smaller wheelbase, as a topmount it's much more responsive due to the increased leverage on the trucks. I use the 2 different setups depending on my mood, the carving setup with Paris trucks and Stimulus wheels or the surf setup with Carver CX trucks and 4Prez wheels. See the details for both setups here on the Loaded page. Both are awesome and super nimble, they let you make very tight turns - I can actually do U-turns on pretty narrow paths quite easily. The Paris setup is lower riding and super responsive, better for slides and hills, while the Carver setup is great for pumping and surf style.

The Dinghy is a great little sidewalk cruiser but it's a bit twitchy and harder to handle if you're a newer rider and/or if you're a bigger rider. The Poke may be a better option, being just the right size and lightweight with the composite bamboo construction (like most Loaded models).

Landyachtz Dinghy Review

October 9, 2021

This week’s article is a Landyachtz Dinghy review. This is easily one of the most popular cruisers on the market, and one of the first boards many own. However, it doesn’t have the greatest of reputations amongst the “core” crowd. Check it out below to find out what I think.

Table of Contents

• Length : 28.5inches
• Width : 8inches
• Construction : 7plys of Maple
• Concave: Mellow
• Shape : Single kick
• Gritpape : Fine Landyachtz grip
• Trucks : Bear 105mm/7inch TKP trucks
• Wheels : 63mm, 78a Fatty Hawgs 
• Bearings : Bear Spaceballs Bearings
• Accessories : 1/4inch riser
• Graphic : Honey Island

Big thanks to SkateboardersHQ for helping me out with this board!

And yes! I am a sponsored Landyachtz rider. That will not affect the review. I will be unbiased. I will be honest and critical where I need to be.

Is the Landyachtz Dinghy good (summary)?

Yes, it is a good board, I’ve really enjoyed using mine. However, one or two things aren’t the best. And whilst it does a lot of things well, it suffers when it comes to being focused and great for one discipline – for example, tricks or sliding. Truly a jack of all trades, master of none sort of board.

And at the end of the day, it is simply a mini-cruiser – it’s been designed with portability as being its main strength and greatest fatures. Whilst a mini-cruiser is excellent for somethings, it isn’t the best for others.

One thing is clear though, this board is a lot of fun.

Check out my guide to the best mini cruisers

The Dinghy is super nimble and agile

The Dinghy reacts quickly to your input and changes direction on a dime. The bushings in the Bear TKP trucks are surprisingly soft, and this allows you to get the trucks to quickly shift direction.

However, how much you can turn and how quickly feels limited by the wheels – they start to slip when you turn too quickly. The Chubby Hawgs are good wheels, but they lose grip if you dive too quickly into the turn and the board wants to slip out from under you. I can see the Plow Kings (which come on the Dinghy Turbo King and Turbo) to be better suited for gripping turns and changing direction quickly – slaloming between objects and that type of thing. 

If you have no desire to slide or just want to dive into and take those turns with confidence, the Dinghy Turbo or Turbo King are the better options for you – they come with the grippier Plow King wheels.

The trucks are quite “loose feeling”

As I said earlier, the bushings are quite soft. Most people are not going to feel totally comfortable on the board with the bushings the way they are. I recommend you tighten the kingpin down a little bit (maybe a full turn or two), to give you a slightly stiffer and easier to control ride. You’ll also feel a bit more comfortable and confident.

If you weigh about 130lbs and less, I expect that you’ll be happy with how the bushings feel out of the box.

Check out my my indpeth guide to the best mini cruiser longboards here .

You don’t get wheel bite with the Dinghy

As loose and as soft as the bushings are, you don’t get wheel bite at all on the Dinghy. At least I didn’t haha. If you’re heavier than 150lbs (or 70kg), which is how much I weigh, you MIGHT get bite on the setup. I don’t seeing it being an issue for most people to be honest.

The no wheelbite thing is because of the tall risers and the wheel wells drilled into the deck.

The turning is smooth

I didn’t expect the bushings to be as soft as they are on the Bear TKPs. Despite this, the TKPs turn smoothly. However, the TKPs tend to “flop” into the turn. By this I mean they tend to lean more than they turn.

I didn’t enjoy this flop to turn feel, and it actually made riding the Dinghy not that enjoyable. I had to make some slight changes to make it feel perfect.

In order to get them to turn more than they lean, I flipped the washer on the front truck, and tightened the back truck a little bit. This gave the front top bushings more freedom and allowed the truck to turn more – atleast that’s how it felt.

After doing this, the board had a forward biased turning. It felt more stable, had more control and it was easier to dive in and out of turns. I really liked how it felt. I recommend you do the same to your Dinghy.

The Landyachtz Dinghy is comfortable to stand on

At 8inches in width and 28inches in length, the Dinghy doesn’t have the most room to stand on. Thankfully, the concave is mellow and doesn’t get in the way of your feet at all. The concave features are near non-existent and aren’t worth mentioning at all tbh.

So yeah the Dinghy is comfortable to stand on and it is a comfortable board to ride.

Not comfortable for long rides

However, like all mini cruisers, after about 10minutes your feet start to ache and get tired. Mini Cruisers aren’t the best for skating longer than 10minutes – they’re small, agile and because of this your feet have to work hard to keep the boards going straight. It gets tiring quickly.

If you’re skating longer than 10minutes or long distances, wider, longer and lower boards like the Landyachtz Drop Cat are gonna be better suited for you.

It’s easy to push

The Dinghy is super easy to push. The board is rather lightweight and the wheels are small. Smaller wheels tend to accelerate quicker, and the Chubby Hawgs get up to speed fairly quickly.

It’s not the best for skating longer distances

However, whilst it does accelerate quickly and is easy to push, the wheels don’t hold on to their speed very well and don’t coast for very long – simply because of their 63mm size. 

They do still coast a bit, but I found myself pushing quite a bit to keep the boards speed up.

For longer distances, bigger 70mm+ wheels are more desirable. They have a higher top speed and coast for longer.

Is the kicktail usable?

The kicktail is very usable. It’s great to use when going up and down curbs and when picking up the board.

Can you do tricks on the Landya€chtz Dinghy?

Yes, but not really. I could do Ollies, Pop shuvits and one or two easy tricks, but more complex things were harder to do. For example, I couldn’t kickflip the Dinghy very easily. I didn’t feel comfortable doing so or even trying.

Can you learn tricks on the Dinghy?

You might be able to, but because the Dinghy is small and has relatively heavy wheels – the Chubby Hawgs are considerably wider, taller and meatier than proper skateboard wheels. There is gonna be a steeper learning curve. In fact, some might find it too difficult.

If you already know how to do skateboard tricks, then it is easy to apply them to the Dinghy. But if you don’t, learning is a tough task. If you want to learn tricks on a cruiser, an all-around hybrid like the Landyachtz ATV or the Stoked Ride Shop cruiser would be better options.

Can you slide on the Landyachtz Dinghy?

Yes you can. The Chubby Hawgs break out into slides pretty smoothly. I do think they have a break in period though, because at the beginning of trying to slide them they weren’t super smooth, but they got smoother the more I tried.

They do honk a lot though, and that might be an issue for some.

Can you learn to slide on the Dinghy?

Yes and no. Again, the Dinghy is not going to be the best for learning to slide mainly because of it’s small size and really just how it rides. If you choose it to learn to slide on it you’re going to have a very steep learning curve.

There are better options for learning to slide and I recommend you get those instead. You’ll have an easier time learning.

Is the Landyachtz Dinghy good for downhill skating

No, not really. It can handle some light hills and you likely can take it up to 20mph, but beyond that you’re asking for trouble. If you want to skate fast, get a board built for it.

And it’s not that the Dinghy specifically is bad for skating down hills. It’s just that mini cruisers are inherently bad for skating fast and speed. Their tiny wheelbases, bushings, TKP trucks and narrow sizes just make them awful for skating fast. You’re likely going to wobble out.

Yes I know I skate mine fast and I know other riders do so too. But I skate downhill primarily and I’m used to speed – I’ve been doing this for the last 4 years. The average rider or beginner can not do the same and you likely will get hurt.

Is the Landyachtz Dinghy good for learning to skate?

Yes and no. Mini Cruisers are generally not beginner friendly boards. They react a lot to your input and this isn’t good for a beginner finding their balance on a skateboard. So yeah, they have a slightly steeper learning curve.

But yeah with some effort you can learn on them. Of course there are sharper tools for the job out there and a board like the Drop Cat 33 is gonna be more beginner friendly. It is more stable, easier to push and easier to balance on.

However, for kids, I’d say they make excellent beginner boards. The Dinghy is the perfect size for kids.

What changes did I make to mine?

The only changes I made was tightening the kingpin a little bit and flipping the top washer in front so that the front truck turned more. I kept it pretty much stock otherwise.

This is what the back truck looked like (the picture below). Just to illustrate the difference for ya.

Are the components high-quality?

The components on the Dinghy are great. The trucks, wheels and pretty much everything else is high-quality.

Are the trucks good?

The trucks are great. They have a smooth, controllable turn. They don’t suddenly twitch or fight you to stay straight.

They come with high-quality bushings and pivots – which aid in that smooth, controllable feeling. Finally they are pretty strong and are made with heat treated aluminum, with any unnecessary material cut away. The trucks have an excellent finish and look great,

For the technical TKP people, I think Bear trucks are built more around cruising and sliding stuff, rather than behaving like the average TKP. Where the average TKP would be good for skate park stuff … I think … idk. I have limited experience with TKPs if I’m being honest.

One issue though is how they turn. As I highlighted before, they sort of flop into the turn. Flipping the top washer one the front truck solved this though.

Are the wheels good?

I was surprised by the Chubby Hawgs! These wheels roll fast and pick up speed quickly. They also providing a comfortable ride and roll over cracks, pebbles and other muck in the road fairly well. Pretty smooth wheels I gotta say.

Pebble avoidance system

Because the wheels are large (63mm) and soft (78a), they can roll over pebbles and cracks with ease. A big pebble will stop you though, but if you got enough speed/momentum and weight the board properly (shift like 80% of your weight to the back) you can power through almost anything.

The bearings are decent too

The Bear Spaceballs are great bearings that roll smoothly and quietly. Starting out, they leak a bit of oil, but this is just the excess lubricant leaking out. I recommend you wipe them down after this happens or your bearings and wheels will get dirty. Other than that, they work great. No issues so far.

Is the price of the Dinghy fair?

You’re looking to pay anything from $130 to $160 for a Dinghy. It is quite expensive, especially for a mini-cruiser. However, you are getting a complete that is pretty great straight out of the box. 

Other mini cruiser completes I’ve tried have had one or two things wrong with them and they made me want to change or modify them slightly. Though I did change the washer configuration, I haven’t had to buy anything for the Dinghy.

And given I expect the Dinghy to last me about two years and more, I think the price is reasonable. This board is an investment that gives me enjoy, allows me to have fun and gets me from place to place. I use it fairly frequently (like almost every other day) so it’s worth it in my eyes. 

It might not be worth it if you don’t use it as frequently as I do tbh. And I’m also of the school of thought of “cheap is expensive” and “buy once or buy twice” so …

However, not everyone has $130+ to spend on a cruiser, and if you’re part of that group, below are some alternatives.

What I didn’t like about the Dinghy?

There’s not much I didn’t like about the Dinghy. Of course, there’s a lot I don’t generally like about mini cruisers and there’s a lot I can say about that. But as a mini cruiser, the Dinghy is great.

One thing I didn’t like was how the trucks turned. But with the light modification I did, it wasn’t an issue anymore.

What do I think the Dinghy is best for (best use)?

• Best for skates under 10minutes long. After 5-10minutes, the Dinghy and other mini cruisers tire you out. You have to actively work to keep them going straight and have to also work hard to keep the moving.
• Not the best for longer distances – best for rides less than 3miles/5km long. 
• Best for short skates. Eg. When you get off the bus and are going to work.
• Excellent for messing around on.
• Excellent for storing and being portable.
• Not the best for tricks, sliding, downhill or going fast.
• Great for kids.

Who should get the Dinghy?

• A kid wanting a beginner board.
• Someone looking for a comfortable mini cruiser.
• If you’re looking for a portable, easy to store board.
• If you want a board that is fun to mess around on when you have a few minutes to skate each day.
• You need a transportation option to quickly get you over a mile or so.
• You want a board to quickly get you across campus.
• If you want to buy someone an awesome present etc.

Who shouldn’t get the Dinghy?

The Dinghy isn’t right for you if:

• You primarily want to do downhill skating, tricks, or sliding.
• Learning any of the above is what you want to do with it.
• You want a board to commute over 3miles/5km with.
• You have huuge feet – I have size 9.5US/10UK feet and the Dinghy is borderline comfortable. Anyone with bigger feet might not be comfortable.

What y’all think? Is the Dinghy the right board for you?

The Dinghy is a pretty great board and I can say I’m happy with it. I really had my doubts – mainly because of the influence of other riders, but having tried the real thing I’m stoked. Of course, it does have its limitations, but hopefully, I’ve done a good job of highlighting what it’s best for and what its not good for.

Big thanks to my SkateboardsHQ for lending me the board and big thanks to all my patrons for the support – Jed, SuperbadJuju, Mowgii, Bryan, Andrew, Jan, Jay, Owen, Samil, Daniel, Alex, Kasajja, Leah, Helge, Jackson, DeLacoste and Justin. I couldn’t write articles like this without you guys’ support. I used the money from my Patreon to buy this grip.

Nice review! Have you tried Pilsner or Pocket Rocket from Arbor, former is of similar size as dinghy but with 129 Paris street trucks. Would love to know what you think of it.

I haven’t tried it, but it is a great board. Great components too. It should ride good 🙂

18 Aug Why you should consider the Landyachtz Dinghy for your next cruiser skateboard

This post was updated on April 5th, 2020

What makes the Landyachtz Dinghy so awesome?

Zoom! The answer is simple. The Landyachtz Dinghy is awesome because no other cruiser skateboard rides like a Dinghy!

Having existed for nearly two decades and undergone four design changes, the modern Dinghy is the result of years of fine tuning.

The Dinghy is made to offer a unique and awesome experience for both beginners and experts . It’s versatile , easy-to-ride , and crazy fast – you simply have to skate one to believe it!

What sets Dinghy’s apart from other cruiser skateboards on the market is their premium components that have been specially designed to function together. The result is a responsive ride that truly performs , whether you’re just cruising down the sidewalk or carving down an intense hill . All Dinghy models feature 63mm Fatty Hawgs Wheels, one of the most important components of making the Dinghy skate like it does.

This is because Fatty Hawgs offer just the right balance of slide and grip, meaning they hold onto the pavement during high speed carves but offer a controlled slide during the weight shift of powerslide tricks. They also have a wide contact patch and diameter that rolls effortlessly over rougher pavement, cracks, bricks, and even small pebbles.

But, an amazing cruiser needs to be able to carve and turn with precision . That’s why Landyachtz developed the Polar Bear truck from their own truck company, Bear Trucks. Using squeeze-cast technology, heat-treated axles, and premium-quality bushings, outstanding steering response and long-lasting durability are guaranteed.

What is the Landyachtz Dinghy best used for?

Dinghys are beloved for their portability , making them one of the most popular options for students to travel with around their school campus.

However, their lightweight, compact design is good for more than just making it to your biology class with time to spare. The Dinghy is an amazing option to make your morning commute through the city a lot faster (and a lot more fun!) When you go on vacation, simply pack up your Dinghy and board a plane with it for your next tropical getaway. When you get there, take out your Dinghy and forget paying for an Uber or taxi , your Dinghy allows you to take in the city from a whole new perspective . Think of it as your personal “discovery tool” to help you explore places you might not have ever seen without it!

Alright, alright. So, the Dinghy is portable and works great for skating to class or work. But, how does it perform when you want to really test its limits ?! Say no more. The high-performance components of the Dinghy enable it to handle even the gnarliest hill bombs and powerslides with ease. Don’t believe us? We’ll just let this video from Landyachtz speak for itself:

Which Landyachtz Dinghy model is best for me?

While all Dinghys are uniquely awesome, Landyachtz has developed several different Dinghy shapes and variations to suit different preferences and riding styles. Below you will find an overview of the current Landyachtz Dinghy models .

. The Classic Dinghy

The most current “classic” Dinghy model is characterized by an 8” width (standard skateboard deck width) and a 28.5” length (slightly shorter than a standard skate deck). The shorter length is largely due to the small nose of the design. This deck has a full-size tail that can be used to pop tricks and do manual tricks and the small nose has just a light concave. The classic Dinghy offers the most graphic and color options of all Dinghy models, so you can find one that perfectly suits your style! Recommended for: Beginner to advanced skaters who want the ultimate all-rounder cruiser skateboard ! The compact, lightweight design makes this cruiser perfect for commuting to class, work, or to bring along while traveling. It doesn’t sacrifice performance either and will tear up any downhill terrain with speed and agility.

. The Dinghy Turbo

If you thought the classic Dinghy was gnarly, wait ‘til you see the Dinghy Turbo! This is literally the “suped-up” version of the classic model. It features the same overall design, except it features titanium trucks with hollow kingpins for weight reduction and high-speed Rocket Hawgs wheels . According to Landyachtz, this is “the fastest cruiser setup they’ve ever made”. Recommended for: Intermediate to advanced skaters who demand maximum performance . While it will surely perform for casual cruising, this cruiser is best suited for bombing gnarly hills and terrorizing the streets at high speed.

. The Dinghy Handstand

The Dinghy Handstand is a unique Dinghy model in that it features an almost perfectly flat deck with soft-top griptape . It has an 8.5” width and 29” length, making the overall size just between the classic Dinghy and the Tugboat models. As the name implies, you could do a great handstand on it and it would work for practicing dancing tricks or even skating barefoot. Recommended for: Beginner to advanced skaters looking for a ride that’s comfortable on rough surfaces/pavement or for a true “old-school” style cruiser skateboard.

. The Dinghy Hoodoo Tiger/Gin & Tonic

The Dinghy Hoodoo Tiger and Gin & Tonic models feature a shape that most nearly resembles a traditional skateboard deck from the 1980s and earlier. It has a full, squared off tail, side concaves, and a small yet relatively defined nose in comparison to the other Dinghy models. It has an 8” width and 28.5” length, the same as the classic Dinghy. Recommended for: Beginner to advanced skaters who want a more traditional old-school skateboard deck style that’s capable of transition or pool skating. Note that it is smaller than most old school decks from Powell, Santa Cruz, etc. as it is only 8” wide like the classic Dinghy model.

. The Dinghy Wrecktangle

The Dinghy Wrecktangle is self-titled by Landyachtz as a “weird lookin’ skateboard”. It features a unique squared-off nose and tail and has an almost completely flat concave. With large dimensions of 9” x 31.25”, the wrecktangle is built for skate destruction! Recommended for: Intermediate to advanced skaters looking for something fun and unique . The wrecktangle is a bit of a mix between a longboard and cruiser with a wide and flat riding surface that will dominate hills and carves

. The Dinghy Blunt

With a width of 8.6 inches and wider Bear Trucks than the standard Dinghy, the Dinghy Blunt is designed to offer increased stability and performance you can be confident with at higher speeds . It also has a low concave for comfortable long-distance cruising.

Recommended for: Skaters with larger feet, beginner skaters who want a wide riding surface and more predictable performance or advanced skaters who simply want more stability at high speeds!

. The Dinghy Coffin

Compact and highly-shreddable! The Dinghy coffin has a slim and stylish shape that’s easy to transport and a blast to skate. The widest part of the deck is found where your front foot is placed, giving you excellent leverage and control during carves . It has the same 105mm trucks of the classic Dinghy with a super tight turn that hugs the pavement with the 63mm Fatty Hawgs wheels.

Recommended for: Intermediate to advanced skaters looking for a relatively smaller board with agile performance.

. The Dinghy Dugout

Surf’s up! The most distinctive feature of the Dinghy Dugout is its longer wheelbase than the other Dinghy models (how far apart the trucks are from each other). This design gives it a “surfy” feel that’s a lot of fun to ride while casually exploring your city. This also gives it increased stability, making it a good option for beginner skaters.

Recommended for : Beginner to advanced skaters looking for a smooth and casual ride – a true sidewalk surfer!

. The Schooner (The Dinghy’s Big Brother!)

The Landyachtz “Schooner” cruiser models feature a similar deck shape as the classic Dinghy but with everything a bit bigger! The increased width, longer wheelbase, 60mm wheels, and wider trucks than the Dinghy give the Schooner a smooth, stable, and predictable ride that’s great for commuting or casually cruising .

Recommended for : Beginner to intermediate skaters looking to comfortably cruise, commute, or learn to ride a cruiser skateboard.

. Landyachtz ‘Revival Series’ Cruisers

Several Landyachtz cruiser models are apart of the ‘Revival Series’. All of these cruisers feature decks constructed from carefully selected, salvaged wood veneers . This process not only reduces waste from skateboard production, it gives each and every deck a unique appearance that exposes the natural beauty of the trees the board came from. 

Recommended for : Those who like to save the planet and admire the natural beauty of wood!

. Landyachtz ‘Hollowtech’ Cruisers

Looking for maximum performance ? Look no further than Landyachtz cruisers featuring the ‘Hollowtech’ construction. Instead of a seven-ply maple construction, Hollowtech boards feature 5 plies of maple and two plies of super-strength fiberglass. Not only does this greatly improve the strength and pop of the deck, but it also makes it lighter (and faster!) than a seven-ply deck. 

Recommended for : Skaters who have a need for speed and who want the latest and greatest board technology from Landyachtz.

. The Tugboat

[Edit: if you want to know more about the differences between the Dinghy and the Tugboat, check our article “ Dinghy, Tugboat, or Atv: what are the differences between these 3 types of landyachtz skateboards? “].

The Tugboat is similar to the classic Dinghy in shape, but the overall size is amped up to 9” wide and 30” long. This gives the Tugboat more surface space and a wider center of gravity than the agile classic Dinghy. Accordingly, it features wider Bear Trucks to accommodate the increased width. Recommended for: Beginner to advanced skaters who like the shape of the classic Dinghy but prefer a wider riding surface and increased stability. The Tugboat is also a great option for larger skaters who aren’t sure they will feel comfortable with the agility of the classic model.

Landyachtz Dinghy Review – Arguably the Best Cruiser Money Can Buy  

  March 4, 2021

By James Mason

Our Verdict:

CHECK PRICE

• Compact and portable
• Designed to provide versatility
• Stable ride
• Endless options to choose from
• Good value for money
• Perfect for cruising
• Attractive deck graphics
• Uncomfortable for bigger sized riders
• Maple wood soaks in water
• Not suitable for beginners

If you are in the market for a compact longboard to cruise on, the Landyachtz Dinghy is worth considering. If you wondered why......well, the dinghy was designed to provide a combination of features that make for the ideal cruiser longboard. 

From an excellent build quality and convenient deck design to high quality specs on the trail, this is just a fraction of what you get from this great-looking board. 

Not to mention that the manufacturer has been in the game for more than 20 years, boasting a reputation for producing top notch products with superior functionality. 

So, why do some people consider the Landyachtz Dinghy as the best cruiser board in the market? Let us explore that in the following in-depth review of the Landyachtz Dinghy longboard. 

 Landyachtz Dinghy Review

The Dinghy was built to be the go-to cruiser for riding through the city streets and around campus. It boasts a versatile functionality that allows you to do almost anything you want. 

To proclaim the Dinghy as the perfect city board, the manufacturer designed it with a small and lightweight frame to enhance its maneuverability. Despite the small size, the board is equipped with longboard wheels to bring about versatility over different riding surfaces. 

So, let us delve deeper into the features in this Landyachtz Dinghy review:

Source: landyachtz.com 

The Landyachtz Dinghy is available in three different sizes to suit smaller riders. These include:

Landyachtz Mini Dinghy 24:  24-inch length, 6.5-inch width, 14-inch wheelbase

Landyachtz Mini Dinghy 26 : 26-inch length, 6.5-inch width, 14-inch wheelbase

Landyachtz Dinghy 28:  28.5-inch length, 8-inch width, 14.6-inch wheelbase

Apart from the deck size, all the Dinghy boards use practically the same kind of components. Another aspect you’d like to note is that there have been more than 20 editions of the Dinghy over the years. The ones I’ve listed above are just the main sizes you’ll find the boards in.

While the major difference between the boards lies in the graphic design art, some have a small variation in size. For instance, the Dinghy Handstand is slightly bigger than the rest with dimensions of 29 x 8.5 x 14.4 inches for the length, width, and wheelbase respectively.

Some people find themselves struggling to choose the ideal board with so many options on the table. Overall, you’d be wise to go with the bigger version with a graphic design of your preference if you are of standard height. The smaller sized boards are better suited for a kid or smaller rider. 

 After all, all the Dinghies come with similar components. All the wheels, trucks, and bearings are produced by Landyachtz and deliver the same type of quality performance. Let us review the individual parts and see what their impact on the ride is:

One of the most praised features on the Dinghy has to be the deck! It is made out of strong and durable 7-ply maple wood to make for a stable performance on the trail. When it comes to size, the Dinghy comes in sizes of 24-28.5” x 6.5-8.5” x 14-15” as earlier mentioned in this Landyachtz Dingy review. The unit is generally short and the wheelbase is small.

The maple board on the Dinghy is pretty sturdy and has no flex, which is something you’ll need to get used to if you’ve been cruising on a flexible board. The maple is much stiffer than a bamboo deck. 

You might assume that a flexible board would be a more suitable choice but that’s not the case for the Dinghy board. Testing the board tells you it was built for fun. The sturdy deck even allows you to do ollies, flip tricks, and maintain your stability on rough riding surfaces.

While other materials tend to be a little lighter, they are also limiting to the rider. 

 Grip Tape

A notable feature that you don’t find on all boards in the market is the clear grip tape. This helps to keep you stable when you stand on the board, ensuring that you remain on your twos when the ride gets wobbly. 

Landyachtz used high-quality tape on the Dinghy, and this can last for years. While the tape offers enough grip to keep your feet planted on the board, it still lets you move your feet around comfortably when handling the ride. 

But not all versions come with clear tape on the deck, and the Dinghy Summit is just one of the exceptions. 

The board is also designed with wheel wells that help to prevent wheel bite. These prove to come in handy for riders who prefer loose tracks and deep carves. You won’t have to worry about the wheels touching your skateboard. 

 Shape

The Dinghy’s deck is built in a mellow radial concave shape. The side of the board is slightly elevated to make the Dinghy more responsive, which makes it a decent choice for pulling off tricks. 

But you should note that the concave design is not for everyone. This is because it tends to eat into the stability you get on an entirely flat deck like a penny board, although it’s a nice design for playful riders. 

Furthermore, the shape enables you to perform sliding movements much more easily, and you’ll appreciate that the concave design is perfectly balanced on the Landyachtz Dinghy.

The board also features a directional deck, which means both the nose and tail are elevated. The nose is a little pointier than the tail while the shape of the tail lets you ollie or hop over curbs and patches of grass. It helps you to maintain your balance as you lean back. 

The kicktail ensures that you can hop curbs with relative ease as you cruise while the soft wheels make for a pleasant landing. They don’t bounce a lot like on some boards. Another benefit of the kick tail is that it allows you to perform kick turns if you are up to it. 

Given the stiffness of the deck and the shorter wheelbase, you might experience some wobbliness when cruising around at top speeds. 

 Trucks

The Dinghy is equipped with 105mm traditional Polar Bear trucks, featuring enlarged bushing seats for enhanced turnability. This is relatively narrow for a truck, which may not be as stable as a larger truck. However, it is expected given the small size of the board.

Source: landyachtz.com

One attribute of Polar Bear trucks is their high tolerance level to minimize slop. Meanwhile, the hangers have been machine faced to boost strength, and axels heat-treated and reinforced to make sure they keep spinning straight. 

The baseplates of the trucks come with 8 holes to let you customize your Dinghy by leveraging the new school or old school hole pattern. The 0.25-inch risers on the Bear trucks also help to reduce the likelihood of wheel bite. 

Some riders claim the bushings are a little bit squeaky when you start to use the board, but that’s pretty common with new bushings. The noise tends to stop when you finally break into them. Anyway, you can upgrade to higher quality bushings if required.

 Bushings

A closer review of the bushings on the Dinghy reveals that the top bushing is cone-shaped whereas the bottom one is barrel-shaped. The variation in shape offers different qualities while riding. The combination of the two adds stability, as well as maneuverability to the ride.

For perspective, bushings are typically shaped differently to suit a certain style of riding or improve the ride in some kind of way. For instance, cone-shaped bushings enable the rider to make quick turns and other agile maneuvers whereas barrel-shaped bushings help you to maintain stability, particularly during long turns. 

As you start to ride your newly acquired Dinghy, you might want to consider changing the bushings, depending on the weight of the rider . 

 Wheels

The Landyachtz Dinghy comes with 63mm Hawgs Fatty wheels- a brand that Landyachtz owns. The Hawgs wheels make use of proprietary urethane and are tested rigorously on downhill slopes under freeriding conditions. 

This makes for a superior quality of wheels that most Dinghy owners swear by. These are also the same kind of wheels that Landyachtz uses on higher-end freeride models of longboards it manufactures. 

 Small but Smooth

I my opinion, the 63mm soft wheels are slightly small when you consider the size of the Dinghy and the fast turning Bear trucks it comes with. However, they deliver great roll speed that I didn’t expect at their size. 

Their 78A durometer feels kind of squishy but remains firm when you are riding. Overall, the Fatty wheels strike a sweet spot between rolling smoothly on various types of terrains and breaking into slides easily. 

The wheels are smooth and you barely feel the bumps even when cruising at high speeds. These remain steady when running over all kinds of surfaces. Whether you’re cruising on a sidewalk with cracks or metal chunks; they just won’t get chipped. 

 Grippy yet Slidy

The small size of the wheels mixed with the proportionally wide 50mm contact patch makes them controllable for slides and they still manage to offer just enough grip. Their rounded lips also help to significantly support kicking into slides. 

The other feature to note about the Hawgs wheels is the offset positioning found on the wheel cores. The core is placed between the inner and center of the wheel instead of the side-set or center-set cores. 

The offset positioning leads to a balanced combination of grip and slide. The wide and supportive cores on the Fatty wheels makes the longboard ideal for sliding and performing tricks on the Dinghy when carving through streets. 

 Bearings

The Dinghy uses Bear Spaceball bearings. These are not your typical generic, low-quality components. The bearings are pretty decent and help to enhance the performance of the board. They have built-in spacers that help the wheels to stay aligned and wiggle free. 

This allows you to change the wheels much more easily and tighten the axles to your preference without interfering with the setup. The result is that the Bear Spaceball bearings enable your wheels to roll for hours on end without getting loose and can cope with popping tricks.

While the consensus among Dinghy owners is that the bearings are quite good, you can still decide to upgrade to better ones if you’re looking for something with more speed. 

How Does the Landyachtz Dinghy Perform?

The Dinghy performs impressively on all kinds of surfaces. It boasts a versatile design that allows it to hold its own in the city streets, as well as the on rougher off-road trails. Let us look at what the board is good for?

 Is the Landyachtz good for Cruising?

The Landyachtz Dinghy is a great choice if you’re looking for a cruiser! In fact, it was designed specifically for cruising through city streets and sidewalks in urban areas. The small size and overall design of the wheels allow the board to accelerate pretty fast yet still manage to roll smoothly.

The short length of the board allows for enhanced maneuverability and agile turnability, enabling you to swerve in and out of crowds with relative ease. Don’t worry about the occasional potholes and curbs you’ll come across on the road; the kick tail design of the Dinghy makes it easy for you to hop over obstacles . With this board, you can look forward to a full urban commuter experience in whichever city you find yourself in.  This is just what the manufacturer envisioned when designing the Landyachtz Dinghy!

 Is the Landyachtz good for Freeriding?

The Dinghy wasn’t exactly designed for freeriding. Nevertheless, you can still pull it off and enjoy yourself while at it. Generally, freeriding boards are notably longer than the Landyachtz Dinghy. So, if you’re buying the longboard primarily for freeriding , I recommend you look elsewhere for a more suitable option.

But if you just want to experiment with the Dinghy, you may manage to pull off some nice slides. With the concave design of the top, sliding becomes easy as you can lock your feet. Furthermore, the Fatty Hawgs wheels won’t prevent you from sliding. 

 Is the Landyachtz Dinghy good for Pumping?

The Dinghy can be used for pumping. However, it does necessitate experience and you’ll only be able to perform the maneuver if you know what you’re doing. While the Polar Bear trucks may not be the ideal choice for pumping, you can still pull it off with the right experience. 

 Can it Perform Tricks?

The Landyachtz Dinghy allows you to performs tricks such as ollies, manuals, kickflips, as well as a bunch of other old school moves. Despite being capable of pulling off more technical tricks that a skateboard would, I wouldn’t recommend the Dinghy as a go-to option. 

This is because the board wasn’t designed for tricks’; you’ll be better off going for a regular skateboard. Only experienced skateboarders can perform tricks with the Dinghy, so don’t take your board to the skatepark if you don’t have the skills. 

Admittedly, the Dinghy can easily handle very tight turns and carves, which comes in handy for pools/bowls, but the Hags Fatty wheels are very soft. You may be able to do slides, manuals, and plenty of other tricks but they won’t be as perfect as they should be. 

Unlike regular skateboards, the stock wheels on the Dinghy are big and soft, which allows for smoother rolling but landing the trick might prove to be slightly unstable. Riding a bowl is possible but you’d still be better off with an alternative setup meant for that purpose. 

 Is the Landyachtz Dinghy good for Riding on Rough Roads?

The Dinghy rides perfectly on rough roads. It is fitted with large Hawgs wheels that have an easy time rolling over stones, twigs, small rocks, and other debris on the road. Although it was designed for cruising around the city streets, you can still have a fun time with it on the off-road tracks. 

However, you still need to get acclimated to the board before you take it on the rough terrains, unless you want to be left with egg on your face. 

 Downhill Riding?

When you review the setup of the Landyachtz Dinghy, it is easy to conclude that the board isn’t suitable for downhill riding. The package is relatively small and its narrow trucks will get unstable when you achieve the high speeds associated with downhill riding. 

The wheelbase is also small and does not favor you downhill. A smaller wheelbase reduces your stability, which is not something you want on a downhill slope. Furthermore, you can’t reach the type of speeds you can achieve while riding a downhill longboard. 

After all, city riding typically doesn’t involve a lot of hills, so the design of the Dinghy doesn’t embrace downhill riding. 

 On the flip side, the stiff maple construction of the board, as well as the Hawgs Fatty wheel, can allow you to catch some speed downhill as you maintain your balance. Additionally, the mellow radial concave shape ensures that your feet will be planted securely when moving at a fast speed. 

Still, it comes with a level of risk you wouldn’t want to take . There are much better boards available for downhill riding. The Landyachtz Dinghy is more suited for cruising. 

 The Dinghy is the Perfect Commuter Board

The Landyachtz Dinghy features a compact build that you can easily carry around whenever you’re not riding it. It will comfortably fit under your arm or you can strap it on your backpack for easy portability. 

The 24” version of the board is small enough to fit inside the bigger backpacks in the market, allowing you to go with it practically anywhere your schedule takes you. This means you’ll have no problem hopping onto public transport when you grow tired of skateboarding. 

 Is the Dinghy Too Small for You?

Looking at the Dinghy, it is easy to see that it’s a lot smaller than the majority of boards in the market. You may be wondering whether it will accommodate you if you decide to invest in one. 

Well, it all comes down to two aspects: rider size (shoe size and height) and the kind of riding you plan on using the board for.

If your shoe size is above average, there is a possibility you’ll have a hard time getting comfortable on the board. The deck is only 8” wide, so you’ll want to try standing on the board first to see if it can accommodate your foot size. 

This also means that on tight turns, you will experience a level of instability since your heels or toes will be sticking out. 

 Considering the short length of the Dinghy, taller riders will have a hard time finding a good stance. But if you are under 6’4”, it shouldn’t be a challenge for you. Overall, it’s a matter of preference. 

There are tall riders who shine on small boards and shorter riders who ride on large boards; find what works for you! 

When it comes to the type of riding, the Landyachtz Dinghy was meant for cruising. The small design comes in handy when you have to weave in and out of crowds in the streets and the kicktail allows you to hop over obstacles on the ground. 

So, don’t buy the longboard to go free or downhill riding!

 The Landyachtz Dinghy is not a Board for Amateurs

The small size of the board and the responsive trucks makes the Dinghy very twitchy. It is designed for agile city riding and slashing. The board doesn’t offer the kind of stability a beginner skateboarder would require. It turns relatively faster when you lean and this can bring about major stability issues for a learner. 

If you want a more suitable option for a beginner, find a unit with a wider deck, longer wheelbase, wider trucks, larger wheels, harder bushings, etc. All these factors help to make the longboard less twitchy and keep you steady when you ride. 

Also, look for a board with a drop deck design ensures you are able to ride closer to the ground, resulting in improved stability as you learn to kick push.

 Multiple Designs for the Landyachtz Dinghy

If you are looking to get a Landyachtz Dinghy, you’ll be glad to know that there are numerous designs of the board for you to choose from, in fact, more than twenty versions of the Dinghy in the market and three different sizes. 

With such variety, you can rest assured that there is a Dinghy somewhere that fits your preferences. In case you’re wondering what your options are, some examples you may be interested in include the Emboss and Beach Party, which are quite popular with riders.

The Dinghy Emboss comes with particularly sober graphics and is a top seller in the company’s mini-cruiser category. Other popular Dinghy models that you may want to consider include the Dinghy Turbo, Burning Sky, and Summit.

 What Did We Like?

The Landyachtz features a versatile design that combines the feel of a longboard with the agility and controllability of a skateboard. It is pretty stiff with no flex and the medium concave deck allows you to pull off tricks on the board. The kicktail also ensures that you can do moves such as ollies and manuals.

The Hawgs Fatty wheels used on the Dinghy enable you to slide easily. 

Even though the board was built for cruising, you can still manage to ride downhill with it if you have some experience.

The board is also compact and portable, allowing you to carry it pretty much anywhere you want to go. The smaller versions of the board can even fit inside a large backpack when you are not riding the skateboard. 

The Dinghy is also available in more than two versions with three different sizes. This provides you with endless variety to choose from, ensuring that there’s something for everyone.

Thanks to the versatile design of the longboard, you’ll have a fun time riding it on the city streets but you won’t have a problem riding on the rough off-road trails if you have to.

For a board that costs less than $200, the Dinghy boasts a host of high-performance features ensuring you get a bang for the buck when you buy one!

What Didn’t We Like?

If you have bigger than average-size feet, you might have a hard time riding on the smaller deck of the Dinghy. Tall people may also struggle to find a comfortable stance on the board. 

The maple wood used on the deck is not adequately water-resistant and tends to soak in water over time, resulting in a heavy skateboard.

The Landyactz Dinghy is not suitable for beginners who have no experience in skateboarding. It is best fit for intermediate of pro riders. 

Pros and Cons

• Wheel wells
• Can perform some tricks

Is the Landyachtz dinghy good for beginners?

If you are a beginner with some skateboarding experience but never tried riding a longboard before, then a Dinghy shouldn't pose much trouble for you. However, if you are completely new to skateboards, you shouldn’t choose the Dinghy for your first skateboard ride. It is just not stable enough for a beginner rider.

 Is the Landyachtz dinghy good?

The Landyactz is a remarkable cruiser and a favorite in the market. It comes with a top notch design that combines an array of quality features to deliver superior performance on all kinds of surfaces. Furthermore, it offers great value for the money considering that you can get for less than $200.

 Can you Ollie on a dinghy?

You can pull off an ollie on the Dinghy if you know how to! The stiff deck and the kicktail design allow you to perform an ollie without much trouble. You won’t need to use your hands to get the board in the air; the kicktail enables you to pop up the board with your feet!

 Can you do tricks on a Landyachtz?

The design of the Landyachtz lets you pull off a couple of tricks if you have the right experience. Thanks to the kicktail on the board, you’ll be able to perform tricks such as manuals, kickflips, and ollies. 

However, the wheels on the board are a little heavier and stickier, so the board may react slower when trying to do an ollie. As such you’ll only be able to perform basic tricks with the Landyachtz; not the complicated skatepark tricks!

 Conclusion

From the above Landyactz Dinghy review, I can conclude that the board is an ideal choice for those looking for a mini cruiser that is compact and light enough to carry anywhere, and agile enough to perform tricks yet stable enough to offer a comfortable ride.

The board boasts a versatile design that mixes a host of top notch features and components to deliver the ultimate cruiser experience. It is the perfect choice to swerve through the crowded city streets as you commute to school.

Unfortunately, you’ll only realize the joy of riding the Dinghy if you have some skateboarding experience. So, whether you are looking for a skateboard to cruise, commute, or simply have fun with, look no further than the Landyachtz Dinghy !

12 Reasons Why You Need a Landyachtz Dinghy + FAQs

T he Landyachtz Dinghy is a marvel of tiny skateboard fun. It's such a rad board and good for just about everything. We think every skateboarder should own a cruiser board like the Dinghy.

Not convinced? Here are 12 reasons why you needed to have one yesterday. Let's jump right in.

Take my money! 💸🤑

The landyachtz dinghy.

The most awesome tiny little board you ever did see. Check them out on Amazon and Stoked Ride Shop today. We have models such as the Dinghy Classic, Meowijuana, Crown Peak, and Pinecone.

Reason #12 - Flip Tricks

Unlike most cruisers out there, the Dinghy can be ridden like a dedicated trick board. Flip tricks, ollies, and manuals are cake. Curbs? Cracks? No problem, just tre flip that sh*t. The kicktail is super functional.

Reason #11 - The Build

The Landyachtz Dinghy deck is built using basic 7 ply maple deck construction techniques. In terms of building cruiser skateboards, this is tried and true gold. It's not the lightest material out there, but at only 28.5" (72.39 cm), it's tiny enough for no one to notice. Wheel wells cut into the deck match perfectly with the Landyachtz Fatty Hawgs 63mm/78a for optimal carving clearance and no wheelbite.

The trucks used are Polar Bear 105mm in either black or silver (depending on the model). Silver is pretty standard looking, but won't get paint chips like the black. Black is matte finish and looks solid right out of the box. We found the black paint thin enough to not hinder bushing performance. The 105mm darts quickly into turns, exactly what you want in a small commuter cruiser board.

Landyachtz Bear Space Balls Bearings are built in style, so bearing spacers and speed rings are not needed. This makes changing the wheels super fast and easy. The addition of the Bear Space Balls round out this complete as a solid performance build.

Reason #10 - Marcus Bandy Rides One

Bandy is all about the longboard community. He's known best for Wheelbase Magazine and if you haven't scoped Wheelbase yet, you're behind the times my friend. Wheelbase made a great video showing how rad the Dinghy can be.

Oh and bonus, Devyn Roseman is featured in this video too. Besides being an all around rad dude, he helped us make this rad Sector 9 Skiddles video.

Reason #9 - She Wants the Dinghy

Chicks dig the Dinghy. The small compact size of the board is cute and cuddly, just like a puppy. And you know how them ladies love puppies. Show her that you're hot stuff by showing her your Dinghy. You can thank us later. Go get 'em player.

Reason #8 - Trunk Companion

The Dinghy fits in a ton of places, but possibly the most convenient is the trunk of your car. Toss it in and forget it, until the dire moment it's needed. We've had to use it more than once when we've run out of gas...

Reason #7 - Ride All Terrain

With 63mm/78a Hawg Wheels , the Dinghy can ride over all kinds of surfaces. Cracks, dirt, sand, and rocks are much easier to roll over with this ideal set up. You'll be smooth cruising wherever the road takes you. It's just about as versatile as the Landyachtz ATV

Reason #6 - It's Not Plastic

Plastic had it's time in skateboarding history, but that time is over. Canadian maple is stronger, more durable, and full of pop. It won't sag with use and you won't regret the kooky purchase as you dive deeper into the skate scene. Maple > Plastic. Period.

Reason #5 - Manuals for Days

Form meets function. With the small upturned nose and generous tail, the Dinghy excels at manuals and kick turns. Plus, who doesn't love to manual around town or campus while headed to some vague destination? We know we do. Life's about the journey ♥

Reason #4 - Get Coconuts

Stranded on a deserted island without food or water? Armed only with your Dingy? Don't worry, we've all been there. Doubling as a boomerang, the Dinghy can be thrown into trees to retrieve coconuts. Wilson would be so proud.

Reason #3 - Skate Parks

Few things in this world are more fun than hitting up the park with buddies. The Dinghy is once again there for you in your time of need. The short wheelbase creates the perfect amount of sketchy to be insanely fun, no matter your riding style.

Reason #2 - 50/50 Grinds

You may think 105mm trucks are too narrow to grind on. You may think wrong. The Dinghy is awesome to 50-50. Thanks to Devyn for the charming example.

Reason #1 - Price

There are a ton of awesome things about the Dinghy, it's hard to know what to end on. Cost is a great place though as we all want to save those dolla dolla bills, even on high quality skate gear.

There are no compromises on the components used. Everything is from Landyachtz . Bought separately, the parts are around $175, give or take (Trucks $40, Bearings $20, Deck $70, Wheels $40, Risers $3, Griptape $3, Hardware $3)

We're not just saying that because we want you to buy one. Well, we do want you to buy one, but yeah, buy one 😘

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the landyachtz dinghy good for beginners.

Yes! We sell Dinghys to new riders all the time and they love em.

Just be ready, the Dinghy is classified as a "mini cruiser" so it is definitely on the smaller side. It can be a little harder to balance and control than other longer boards.

This is mostly due to the Dinghy's smaller wheelbase. It makes it nimble. For newer riders this can translate to being more difficult to balance and control. Also the smaller standing platform does not give tons of room for your feet.

But all that being said, if you are a new rider and have a fair amount of balance, we would not hesitate for a second to recommend this board to you. Plenty of people have come into our shop and picked up a Dinghy for their first skateboard. We've heard nothing but praise.

Another option if you want to go a bit larger is the ATV Series or Tugboat. These are great boards and have a longer wheelbase and bigger standing platform. Basically everything from Landyachtz longboards is rad.

Can you do tricks on a Dinghy?

Yes! We hope this article has shown just what a versatile and fun board the Dinghy can be. While is it not made exclusively for tricks (again, it is a mini-cruiser) with practice you can land all kinds of skateboard tricks on the Landyachtz Dinghy. This board is a straight ripper!

Which Dinghy should I buy?

There are several different kinds of Landyachtz Dinghys on the marketplace now. At the time of this writing, there are the Classic, Blunt, Coffin, Coffin XL, and Fender. While they are all very close and all have that old school vibe, there are some key differences for the more nuanced skateboarder.

	Features	Length	Width	Wheelbase
Classic	The iconic original Dinghy shape	28.5"	8.0"	14.5"
Blunt	Extra width up front and mild taper	28.5"	8.6"	14.5"
Shape 9	Distinctively squared off nose and extra-wide tail	28.5"	8.5"	15"
Coffin	More pointy "coffin" shape	28.2"	8.3"	14.5"
Coffin XL	More pointy "coffin" shape with a little extra width	28.2"	8.64"	14.5"
Fender	Classic shape with wheel flares, comes with bigger 72mm wheels	28.5"	8.0"	14.5"
Blunt Fender	Blunt shape with wheel flares, 63mm wheels	28.5"	8.6"	14.5"

Is the Landyachtz Dinghy good?

Yes, duh! Bro did you even read this article? 🙄 Landyachtz has been making rad skateboards since 1997. In many cases Landyachtz completely redefined what a longboard could be with their iconic skateboard designs. The Evo, Dinghy, Switchblade and Wolf Shark are just a few of the amazingly iconic skateboards that Landyachtz has created in the last few decades. They know what they're doing and you can count on the Dinghy as being a good skateboard.

Convinced yet? You can check out the Dinghy below and at the following links.

What components come on the Dinghy?

The Dinghy cruiser comes with all of Landyachtz branded components including Hawgs Wheels, Bear Trucks, and Space Ball Bearings. However, each Dinghy can be a little different. Check the individual product description to see the specifics for the graphic you like best.

What kind of riding can you do on the Dinghy?

The Dinghy is considered a mini cruiser, so it is most at home cruising. But you can ride it much like a longboard skateboard because of its larger and softer wheels. You can even do some light freeride on it. The wheelbase is pretty good for surfskate components, so when you feel the urge, you can give that a go too.

Should I get the Landyachtz Tugboat or Landyachtz Dinghy?

The Landyachtz Tugboat is basically a larger Landyachtz Dinghy. We recommend the Tugboat to those that have bigger feet or simply want a wider standing platform on their cruiser board for more grip to rip.

Well that just about sums it all up about the Landyachtz Dinghy ! If you have any more questions, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] and we will get back to you lickity split. Thanks for checking out Stoked Ride Shop! Later skater. Buh-bye now!

And Krzysztof, for a first skateboard, i think the best is a cruiser like Dinghy and Tugboat, much polyvalent, for city, bring anywhere, etc… I also go with Dinghy on a small downhill :)

Hey, To answer to Krzysztof and Solomon, No i don’t think there is a weight limit. And I you hesitate between Dinghy and Tugboat, first, if you are tall, and big foot, go with the Tugboat. If you are “normal size”, go with the Dinghy. You’re never go wrong with these 2 magic board !

Is there a weight limit on the board?

Hi guys! I have a question. What’s better? Landychtz Dinghy/Tug or some Landyachtz Longboard? That will be my first skateboard/longboard in my life.

Hi, Yes i confirm, Dinghy is the best skate i ever had, really good, just perfect! All terrain, it’s crazy. Smooth, fast, agile, comfortable, etc… On top non stop ! I’ll buy really soon a Landyachtz Tugboat, the dinghy’s big brother, just a little longer/larger, trucks larger to, for more stabilty, another awesome skate, well done Landyachtz !

To compare, i buy a duster cazh, big shit…. no compare possible… And yet sold more expensive …. Fortunately I had a discount of -70% on it, but still, it is very expensive for what it is … Do not buy Dusters, it’s just dust … wind ….fake… just a brand and a logo, and the inscription california above… and made in china, what a joke…what a shame dusters “california”….

Greetings from France.

Longboard news and reviews, to build your own quiver!

Landyachtz Summer Boards Are Out!

Table of Contents

Dinghy Adventure Skeleton

First up is a new graphic for Landyachtz’s popular Dinghy lineup, the “Adventure Skeleton.” This will continue to use the Dinghy’s existing (and fabulous) platform, but comes with some nice blue/gray Fatty Hawg wheels and an angry skeleton with a sword who… somehow still looks kinda cute. The little dude’s on a mission!

This Dinghy also features a dark layer of wood sandwiched between the other layers, giving the side profile and wheel wells some nice contrast.

Dinghy Relay

The Relay is a unique design, and has unique grip tape to boot. It’s for people who want a slightly larger Dinghy with more room on the tail and a bit more nose for kickflips and heelflips.

Dugout ( Grey Skull and Shadow Puppet )

From a top-down view, the Dugout looks like a longer Dinghy Handstand. But peep the side, and you notice that it also has a highly functional kicktail.

In one photo (above), it appears as though it comes with a wedged riser on the front trucks. This is interesting, and changes the dynamic of the board. Many people opt to do this to increase the lean of the front truck and keep the rear truck stiffer. It’s good for pumping, moving forward without pushing, and distance skating. It could help the entire board be more agile and responsive, which fixes a problem I’ve noticed with Bear’s TKP trucks.

The Schooner also appears to come with narrower Easy Hawgs wheels. These are a thinner 63mm wheel that are easy to slide and play with. The Schooner might be better to use as a commuter/freeride board than the Dinghy. In fact, if you’re looking to throw out big slides, the Schooner would likely be a more stable platform than the Dinghy.

Because this board is wider than the Dinghy and comes with smaller wheels, I believe it comes with Bear’s 130mm Polar Bear trucks, as opposed to the 105mm version on the Dinghy.

Sidewalker Relay

This is a great cruiser board for someone who wants the nose and kicktails, but also wants a good concave and arched wheel wells for perfect foot placement. Definitely looks like a fun board (but what boards don’t?).

Cheesegrater 2.0

The Cheesegrater 2.0 is a symmetrical longboard with reverse kingpin trucks. It has large CNC wheel wells and a highly adjustable wheelbase of 22.5-29″. It’s 9.5″ wide and 36.25″ long. This is definitely a large downhill longboard. You’re going to have a lot of foot space on this board, great for downhilling and finding exactly what kind of setup is perfect for you.

There’s a slight microdrop on the top, to serve as foot stops so you can always feel where your feet are. It was designed in conjunction with Landyachtz team ride Alex Hannigan, and the board definitely looks like it was designed with fast downhill riding in mind. This is a stable go fast platform. Plus, if you like to core your wheels without rotating them between runs, it’s a great platform for you. The symmetrical design means you can easily spin your board to even out the wear on your wheels.

Revival Series ( Birch Please , Schooner , and Dinghy )

Not all wood that’s chopped down goes into a product. Often, wood is thrown out for its appearance, coloration, or swirls in the wood grain. Personally, I think that’s kind of lousy. Landyachtz has reclaimed these pieces for their new “Revival” series. These are one of a kind boards with a veneer that has been passed over due to the grain or other appearance related “problem.

Each board is one of a kind. There’s the “Birch Please,” a Dinghy made from reclaimed wood from Lake Superior. This is a limited edition Dinghy, and one of a kind. It also features more of a tapered tail and wider front foot area, as well as a longer shape than your standard Dinghy. Then there’s the Revival Dinghy, a standard dinghy made with this reclaimed veneers. Finally, there’s the Revival Schooner. These cruiser designs will look unique, and you’ll have an obviously one of a kind board on your hands.

Plus, you’re reclaiming wood! From the company that plants a tree for every skateboard purchased , that’s going an extra mile when it comes to sustainability. Props to Landyachtz! That dedication to the environment is part of the reason I look to Landyachtz first when considering a new board.

So that’s Landyachtz’s 2019 Summer lineup! See anything you like? You can head over to Landyachtz.com to buy, or, check with your local skate shop! Many shops stock Landyachtz boards, it’s a popular brand so give them a call or just pop in to see if they’re in yet.

Also, if you’re wondering if the Dinghy is for you, check out my review on the plucky and versatile cruiser board here.

Landyachtz Dinghy Shape 9 Chartreuse- DECK ONLY

by: Landyachtz

Notify me when this product is available:

2 items left

A slight variation on the Dinghy shape that we’ve come to refer to as “Shape 9″, this board is 28.5″ long and 8.5” wide. The most noticeable features are the distinctively squared off nose and extra-wide tail. This shape performs similarly to the classic Dinghy but the unique shape is sure to draw its share of attention. The Chartreuse is pressed with 7 plies of Canadian maple for a light, stiff and poppy ride.

So, what’s flex and why is it important to a skateboard? In skate-nerd terms, flex is the amount of displacement a deck sees when a specific amount of force is applied to it. Check out our formula to the left! There are a few factors that affect flex, like deck thickness, wheelbase, and the amount of force on a deck. We built a machine and put our entire lineup to the test by applying the exact same amount of force to all our boards and measured the displacement we saw in each. This gives a totally scientific and accurate flex range across our entire line! It’s important to understand flex when choosing a board. Here are some basics: Downhill/freeride skateboards will have less flex because you need a stiff platform to stand on when you’re bombing or gripping a corner at speed. Carving skateboards will have more flex, giving you the ability to sink into your turns and pump or carve with ease. Most cruisers, dance and ATV boards will have less flex for control when doing tricks but just enough to be forgiving when pushing around town. We’ve engineered our boards with the best flex for each style of riding but remember, flex is subjective so get out a see what you like the most!

Flex Ratings

We’ve categorized the stiffness of our boards into 3 main groups, listed below.  The general rule is the faster you’re skating, the stiffer the deck, but this is not universal.

Flexy – Soft and supple flex profile best suited for carving and cruising on longer boards. The bouncy nature of these decks lets you turn deeper and surf your surrounds.

Medium – The do it all of our boards, a perfect balance of stability and carve. 

Stiff – From cruisers to downhill boards a stiff flex profile excels in stability and responsiveness.  Whether you’re dipping into driveways or bombing a mountain pass you’ll be down with the stiffness.

• NOSE AND TAIL - The tail on the Dinghy has a ton of pop. Great for all the flip tricks in the book and for getting up-and-over obstacles. While not as pronounced, the nose offers plenty of room for nose-manuals and shuvits.
• MINI WHEEL FLARES - The Dinghy not only has cut out wheel wells to help avoid wheel bite, but also slight wheel flares. This allows for a locked in feel and maximum wheel clearance.

Dinghy Blunt – UV Sun

Our UV graphics change colour when exposed to light, revealing a whole new look when you take them out into the sun. This shape has a little extra width where you need it and a good amount of taper to allow for a more directional feel. Matched up with slightly wider trucks, this shape is great for riders with bigger feet or anyone looking for a little more stability and confidence out of their cruiser board.

The Dinghy Blunt is a small cruiser board that comes in at 28.5″ long and 8.6 wider. The extra width up front and significant taper means you get more leverage over the front truck than the rear one, which gives it more directional steering characteristics and a bit more stability than the classic Dinghy shape. This version features one of our new UV activated graphics that change colour when exposed to sunlight. The Dinghy Blunt is pressed with 7 plies of Canadian maple for a light, stiff and poppy ride and comes set up with Polar Bear 130mm trucks to match the width of the deck. 60mm 78a Chubby Hawgs wheels finish off the setup and ensure you’ll have a smooth ride with plenty of roll speed and grip without having to worry about wheelbite.

Polar Bear 130mm

Some of us still like to ride a board that is a bit on the narrower-side. And, of course, you need trucks to match it. If you step down in board size then it’s time to step it up to the 130mm Polar Bears. Sold in pairs. Bushings: 85a is softer, 90a is harder. Softer bushings are more lively but less stable – with 88a being what we usually use in our completes.

60mm Chubby Hawgs

Chubby Hawgs are the wheel of choice on many of our cruiser and ATV completes and are now available separately in all the colours of the rainbow! You can upgrade your cruiser set up today. They use the same high-quality urethane found in the Fatty Hawgs for premium performance, just in a smaller package.

 Spaceballs are our answer to all of your bearing problems.  Never again can you lose your washers, or spacers because we’ve built them into the inner race!  On the functional side, this means your bearings are always mated correctly which negates any bearing-induced chatter.

Customer Reviews

Great little board. I only wish that it came in a single kick option. (The Cat's Night Out)

Perfect for cruising around and commuting places. the bearings may be stiff at first but they are buttery smooth once you ride around enough. the graphic is just like the picture, the trucks are very sturdy and the wheels can ride through 95% of what you’ll encounter when out and about. can’t recommend enough for the price and quality

Dinghy Blunt - UV Sun

I just started getting into skating this month (june 2024) and i have been loving the new ride so far. The over all shape and graphics of the shape 9 board is comfortable and amazing to look at and ride. Standing on it and zipping around the trails with the 105mm polor bear truck is a learning curve but not to bad and keeps me motivated to get out and ride. Over all a great cruising and starter board for me with lots of zip for trails and being able to navigate quickly when need.

6ft tall. 195lbs. Size 12 shoe. Love the board size and I put the big Plow Kings on, no wheelbite so far. My blunt reaper came with spacers installed and little fatties. Really love the ride with the big PK wheels!

Landyachtz Dinghy Complete, Blunt, Synth

This versatile skateboard is like a Dinghy with a little extra meat on its bones. It will give you the confidence needed to land those tricks you always wanted but still small enough to give you those mini-board vibes. A fantastic all-around cruiser.

The Dinghy Blunt is a small cruiser board that comes in at 28.5" long and 8.6” wide. The extra width up front and mild taper means you get more leverage over the front truck than the rear one, which gives it a somewhat directional steering characteristic. The Blunt jumps up in size from our other Dinghy models, and so do the trucks.

We set the Dinghy Blunt up with Polar Bear 130s to match the added width perfectly. This setup works best with smaller wheels, so we set it up with 60mm 76a Chubby Hawgs to keep you low to the ground and give you great acceleration. You will have lots of space left over on the trucks for grinds and a nice gradual turn.

With virtually the same wheelbase as the Dinghy Classic & about 20 percent more surface area on the top, you will have the same mini board vibes that you get from the Dinghy, but with added stability and control.

Flex Ratings

We’ve categorized the stiffness of our boards into 3 main groups, listed below.  The general rule is the faster you’re skating, the stiffer the deck, but this is not universal.

Flexy – Soft and supple flex profile best suited for carving and cruising on longer boards. The bouncy nature of these decks lets you turn deeper and surf your surrounds.

Medium – The do it all of our boards, a perfect balance of stability and carve. 

Stiff – From cruisers to downhill boards a stiff flex profile excels in stability and responsiveness.  Whether you’re dipping into driveways or bombing a mountain pass you’ll be down with the stiffness.
