Retrospec Tidal Drop Down Longboard - 41" Extra Wide Stable Deck, 9-Ply Canadian Maple, ABEC-9 Bearings, 85A PU Wheels, Reverse Kingpin Trucks for Cruising & Downhill

I would give it more stars if I could. It’s trucks are awesome and very stable, even when I set it to be looser. Wheels are awesome, but that sound loose. I don’t think they are because I tightened them up all the way. Longer than expected ( this is great ).

Great quality especially for the price, definitely good board for beginners (like me). It’s super easy to turn and manipulate. A little heavy to carry around, but the design is amazing, and it also comes pre built. I love it so much! Definitely worth if you’re looking for a new board, or looking to start

This is a solid longboard for beginners or middle-aged riders getting back into the sport. The quality is typical of a complete made in China—cheap trucks, bearings, and grip tape—but the wheels are surprisingly decent, and the deck is built like a tank. That’s both a pro and a con: it's super stable and forgiving, which is great for learning, but it's also big and heavy, so you'll find yourself pushing more than you'd like. Swapping in better bearings helped, but the board still feels sluggish and less agile than I prefer. I outgrew it in about two weeks, but that depends on your learning curve. That said, it's perfect for my 10-year-old son—stable, slow, and confidence-building.

I've been using this longboard every morning after waking up, and I really enjoy it. It’s a great way to get some sunlight, feel the breeze, and vibe to house music. The board is long and wide, providing plenty of foot space, which makes it feel very stable and safe. The ride is incredibly smooth, and the wheels spin for a long time, making every session enjoyable. Plus, the price is unbelievably good for the quality. I have noticed some wear on the edges of the wheels, though I’m not sure why. Despite that, they remain strong and durable. However, the black grip tape is losing its grip quickly and even peeling off in some areas. This may have happened because I washed the board, which could have weakened the adhesive. Overall, the board met my expectations, and I’m happy with it. If you're looking for a reliable and comfortable ride, I’d recommend it!

I have written about seven different types of long boards, and this is by far the best I’ve ever had. I have had mine right about a month. The right is smooth. You don’t have to lunge as deeply to push off because the board is low. The wheels never hit the board. The wheels are nice and soft enough to wear. It’s actually a much quieter ride than most of my other boards. Turning is great just be sure to adjust the trucks as needed. My only complaint is I was riding on the sidewalk and I heard a crack over one of the cracks in the sidewalk. Unfortunately the board cracked not completely in half but it did have a good crack in it and it flexes much more deeply now. I just ordered a second one because I’m not happy with it. My review will stay five stars. I don’t do anything crazy with it , I just cruise but I am 185 pounds and I do ride an awful lot I mean I’m probably riding 5 miles a week. My next one breaks in the first month I will drop my rating a little bit but I’m pretty sure it was a fluke thing over a big crack on the sidewalk . Love this board. I’m taking a trip out to Cali in one week. I can’t wait to ride my new one on the boardwalk by the beach.

Good

In terms of you get what you paid for, I paid for a cheap long board. In return I got one. Now this item is still more value than what you can get at Walmart. The deck is made out of what I presume as maple based on the description. It’s not a high quality maple as there are remnants of knots in the board that I can see. The trucks are cheap trucks(as expected) the bearings are something to wish for better(as expected. buy some Bones Reds for 20 bucks at Zumiez or here on Amazon refer to attached video for improvement) the wheels seem pretty nice. they are a softer urethane, thats fine. there is room for a bit better grip tape, but im not upset with it. All in all I paid 80 dollars for a cheap completed long board, and received one. If you want something of higher quality buy from somewhere like CCS or Zumiez, but expect to pay 120-300 dollars for one. Its worth what I paid for it.

My son is thrilled with his longboard made his Christmas one of the best! Thank you so much! 5 star all the way
