Skatro is a well-known skateboard brand that boasts of Skatro Flexy technology – a patented manufacturing process that apparently ensures your skateboard is extremely flexible. It comes complete and in multiple colors that include black rainbow, mint bliss, purple paradise, blue ocean, and white panda.

Shape and size: at 3 x 6 x 22 inches and 4.7 pounds, this board is among the top contending mini cruisers for beginners. It is perfectly light for any novice skateboarder to handle without spending a lot of energy.

Design: the Skatro is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and well-designed skateboards in the market. All the parts are designed and manufactured by Skatro and that should give you some level of guarantee with regards to good quality. Its Urethane Skatro wheels measure 59MM and are big enough to maneuver through street-like terrains. The 3 inch trucks are made of lightweight aluminum thus making the whole skateboard light and easy to handle. You can learn how to flip it with just a little training. The great design is complemented by equally attractive color schemes that are bound to impress you.

Performance: this skateboard is pretty easy to use. It might not be comfortable on slightly rough terrain but it is definitely great for commuting to the subway or the train station. It comes with a T-tool that you can use to adjust its bolts for even better performance.

Whitewave’s Bamboo Longboard has a slight touch of nature. Its design is proof of the bamboo material that is used to manufacture the skateboard.

Shape and size: this skateboard measures 40 inches by 9.5 inches. If your priority is looks then its concave and small kicktail body will definitely win your heart.

Design: the board’s main body is made of multiple layers of bamboo. In case you don’t know, bamboo wood is one of the strongest and most durable and therefore you should expect your skateboard to serve you for a very long time. The bamboo is reinforced by Canadian Maple as well as durable heat transferred graphics for an extra-sleek design. Its clear grip tape is sufficiently reliable for you to balance on and attempt one or two tricks. The 7 inch (180 mm) aluminum trucks are nicely polished and feature ultra high rebound bushings for extra protection and stability of the 65 mm x 50 mm high urethane wheels.

Performance: One thing that makes this skateboard outstanding is the fact that it is made of bamboo. You can always trust the material to perform impressively as far as supporting you and your weight goes. In fact, this board can sustain up to 270 pounds comfortably. It cruises very smoothly and has incredible stability as well as flexibility. Those are very important factors to consider as a beginner because you don’t want a skateboard that will make you fall off frequently. The only weakness that you might notice in this skateboard is that it might be too big for young teens (13 to 15 year old).

This skateboard was inspired by Jazz and Blues and as such it adapts their rich style and design. In fact, its deck is made to look and feel like a vinyl record. It is manufactured by Stereo and it comes in a variety of colors (including black, yellow, blue, pink, and clear).

Shape and size: the skateboard’s dimensions are 22 x 6 x 6 inches and it weighs 7 pounds. They are usually assembled during the manufacture phase and are ready to roll as soon as they are delivered.

Design: contrary to all the other three skateboards that we have reviewed, this one has a deck that is molded with plastic injection. Its 78A wheels measure 59MM. They have a very impressive grip – which is good because you need to be solidly on the ground. However, remember to loosen their nuts slightly because they are usually very tight (that tends to limit their freedom to rotate). Probably the most exciting thing about this skateboard is the fact that it comes with a sticker pack for you to customize the whole thing as you wish. That is bound to increase your attachment to the cruiser. In addition to that, the manufacturers are always determined to keep the spirit of Jazz and Blues alive and therefore your package will come with a pair of stereo glasses.

Performance: these skateboards are literally road-masters. They can take you to class, shopping mall, or anywhere else within town. However, they are not short of weaknesses. For instance, they scratch easily and if you don’t loosen the wheel nuts the wheels will not rotate smoothly. The two demerits tend to limit you from doing tricks and stunts as much as you might want. To me, It is one of the best skateboard for beginners.

This skateboard is made for professional purposes. In fact, it is the same one that Andy Macdonald (he designed it) uses. However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t use it for training as a beginner.

Shape and size: the skateboard measures 7.25 by 31.5 inches. Although it is slightly bigger than all the others in this list, it is by no means bulky. You can walk around with it comfortably.

Design: this skateboard features cast aluminum trucks and high rebound polyurethane bushings that not only make it easy to turn but also ensure your cruise is smooth. Its bearings are lubricated using speed cream to ensure that your cruise is always smooth.

Performance: this is by far the best performing skateboard. It has a great grip on the road and will offer you a very smooth ride if you keep the wheels and bearings in good condition.
