Longboards are an amazing way to get around town and an easy way to learn how to skate. The one problem some people tend to have with them is they are too large, especially for the female riders. With that in mind Arbor Longboards designed a women specific longboard called the Bug. The bug is avaliable in two different styles one with bamboo wood and the other with koa wood. The board are essential the same exact longboard. The arbor bug longboard is 36-inches long which is small to mid ranged in size which makes it easy to manuver and also easy to lug around as it isn’t as large as most longboards. It has a 20-inch wheelbase which is the length between the front and back trucks. The wheelbase of this board really allows for nice sharp smooth turns. This longboard also features a slight kicktail which is great if you want to ollie or even to help you turn the board in tight spots.
There are 2 different recommended styles of set-ups for the arbor bug longboard. One is a cruiser specific set-up while the other is more performance driven for your local skatepark as this board is a true hybrid style longboard. The cruiser set-up should have some gullwing charger trucks that allow for nice smooth turns and give the deck enough rise to put some nice 70mm soft wheels on the board which give it the nice smooth ride. If you want a more performance driven ride I would recommend a standard skate truck like some 169mm indy trucks with a harder durometer wheel around 84a or harder so you can shred the parks and still cruise the town. This is a great all around longboard and is highly recommended for any female rider!
