The pintail longboard is the most iconic shape in longboarding, wide, stable, surf-inspired, and built for riders who want to flow rather than fight their board. Madd Gear's 36" pintail longboards bring over 20 years of action sports engineering to every carve, cruise, and commute. Pre-assembled and ready to ride straight out of the box. Free shipping on orders over $19.99.
A pintail deck is flat, wide, and stable, with plenty of room to maneuver. The tapered nose and tail, the signature of every longboard pintail shape, do two things at once: they give your feet more room to shift weight for smooth carving, and they pull the wheels back from the deck edge to prevent wheel bite during turns. That's why the pintail board has been the go-to shape for cruisers and beginners for decades, and why it remains the most recommended first longboard in 2025.
For those new to longboarding, the pintail design is particularly forgiving, the stable platform and ease of maneuvering make it an excellent choice for beginners looking to build confidence and skill.
Every pintail longboard in this collection is a complete, pre-assembled setup built on the same spec sheet:

Max rider weight: 220 lbs

The 8-ply maple pintail longboard deck balances flex and rigidity perfectly for everyday cruising. Enough to absorb road vibration, enough stiffness to stay stable at speed. The 62mm wheels are large enough to roll over cracks and uneven surfaces without losing momentum, exactly what a longboard pintail should do.
The Madd Gear pintail skateboard isn't a display piece. It's a daily rider. The 36" length sits in the sweet spot for most riders, long enough to feel stable and comfortable, compact enough to carry into class, work, or the car. Whether you're carving the boardwalk, cruising to campus, or finding your first longboard rhythm in the driveway, this pintail board is the right starting point.
The pintail longboard provides stable and predictable performance compared to more extreme style boards, with a wider margin for error that makes it easier for beginners to master balance, and its strong adaptability means it can grow with riders who want to try cruising, street surfing, or simple sliding later on.
Every Madd Gear pintail longboard comes in a range of distinct graphic colorways, from bold to mellow, so you're not picking between identical boards. The longboard pintail shape stays the same across the collection. The personality is yours to choose.
All boards ship pre-assembled, so there's no setup, no tools, and no waiting. Unbox it. Ride it.
Madd Gear is the world's No.1 pro scooter brand, and that same quality standard runs through every pintail longboard in this collection. ABEC-9 bearings, aluminum trucks, maple decks, and a 3-year manufacturer's warranty, because a longboard pintail should last longer than one season.
