32.5” long and a maximum width of 9.9”. The Raft has a subtle taper and big width, matched with a nice, tub concave to give you lots of foot space and provide added confidence and comfort. It takes our proven cruiser setups from the Dinghy and Tugboat and puts them into a different shape that is perfect for skating around any urban environment. The setup is 130mm Polar Bear traditional kingpin trucks and 63mm Fatty Hawgs. Combined with half inch risers for phenomenal wheel clearance, this board adds confidence and flow to your riding style and is secretly a mega carver disguised as an old-school street skate. Perfect beginner board or for veterans that want a wide cruiser.

TRUCKS
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.
WHEELS
Made famous as the wheel of choice on our Dinghy completes, 63mm Fatty Hawgs are the ideal match for this setup. Designed to roll fast and smooth, these wheels handle cracks, rough pavement, and whatever else the streets throw at you with ease.
We use high-quality 78a urethane to give you the perfect balance of grip and slide, making for a fun, responsive ride. Their compact size keeps your board nimble, while the extra width adds stability and comfort. If you love how this board feels straight out of the box, Fatty Hawgs are a big reason why.
BEARINGS
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.
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.
