If you are looking for a great all around cruising, surf styled, carver longboard look no further than the Arbor Pin longboard. This board is great for any rider and is super stable, fast, and smooth! It comes in 2 different styled graphics and wood; the bamboo top layer wood and also the highly popular hawaiian koa wood. The bamboo arbor pin will have just a little bit more flex to it while the koa wood is much stiffer than bamboo wood. This longboard has one of the longest wheelbases in the arbor longboard series behind only the cross step longboard. It is 46-inches long which makes it great for even riding down hill and the wheelbase creates very smooth surf styled turns. The one draw back you might have with this board is that it tends to be pretty heavy if you have to lug it around campus or for travel.
The recommended set up for the arbor pin longboard is gullwing charger trucks in 9 or 10-inch depending on how aggressive you are going to ride the board. The wide the truck the better for the more aggressive rider as it will have a more sturdy base and make turns easier at high speeds. Set it up with some nice abec 5 bearings and 70-mm arbor longboard wheels to create a smooth fast ride. If you are looking for more of a carving feel then get some retro zigzags in 70mm as they have a wider contact surface to allow for harder carving turns!
