Whenever you consult the web and ask what the best possible cruiser is, almost everybody mentions the Landyachtz Dinghy. Now Landyachtz has been in the business for 20+ years and boasts high quality, great price, amazing design, and superior functionality. I got curious and wanted to see for myself so I decided to buy a Dinghy and do an in-depth review.

The Landyachtz Dinghy is great for short distances. It’s responsive, portable, and consists of quality parts that work straight out of the box. It handles well on rough roads but it’s not for tricks, downhill, or riding skateparks. Beginners might find the Dinghy challenging.

I’m going to cover everything and even made a video that demonstrates what this board can do. I and my friend decided to take it out for a test ride and take it apart piece by piece to find out why this board has such a great reputation.

Here’s the short version of this review.

• The Dinghy is very portable
• Durable, it can last for a decade
• Very responsive
• Low effort to get up to speed
• Also suitable for beginners, the learning curve might be challenging
• Great components that go really well together
• It just looks great
• Wheels and bearings aren’t great
• Heavier than a regular skateboard, lighter than a longboard
• Tall people might find it too small, not suitable for heavy riders
• Takes some time to break in the bearings and tweak the trucks

Not Really for Freeride Longboarding

Pumping is possible, tricks are possible but limited, rough roads, the dinghy is the perfect portable commuter, concave and shape, polar bear trucks, bear riser pads (0.25 inches), swapping the wheels, bear spaceball bearings, dinghy durability, is the landyachtz dinghy too small, loads of designs, is the landyachtz dinghy for beginners, recap: the good and the bad, price of the landyachtz dingy, about landyachtz, in conclusion, how does the landyachtz dinghy perform.

The Dinghy performs great on all sorts of surfaces . It handles everything with ease though sometimes you need to know what you’re doing.

So, is the Landyachtz Dinghy any good in terms of cruising? The simple answer… absolutely. Actually, this board was specifically designed for cruising in urban areas and cities. Thanks to the size of the wheels, this board can catch speed quickly (acceleration). Not only that, but this board is great for handling turns, thanks to the length of the board.

You’ll probably come across times when you’ll have to hop a curb while cruising around. The kicktail of the Dinghy makes this possible, and with ease. Expect the full urban transportation experience when riding this board. It’s fit for any city that you plan on commuting around and an ideal campus cruiser.

You’ll then have to quickly catch speed again. Want to hit a pedestrian? Of course not, so you’ll be making a lot of quick turns. You’ll be hopping curbs like no tomorrow. With all of this going on, the Dinghy really delivers on quality and control. You’ll be able to handle all of these situations with ease. It’s exactly what the Landyachtz Dinghy was built for.

The Landyachtz Dinghy is not specifically made for freeriding . However, you can still pull this off and have a good time doing so. The Dinghy is a shortboard, while freeriding boards are typically a bit longer. If your main goal is for freeriding, then you should probably consider another board. 

But, just because there are better freeriding options, that doesn’t mean you can’t pull some nice slides on the Landyachtz Dinghy. Thanks to the concave shape of the board, sliding will be easier since you’ll be able to lock your feet. The wheels of the Dinghy won’t keep you from sliding either. This board was built for cruising in the city.

Is the Landyachtz Dinghy appropriate for pumping? It sure is! It does require experience and you need to know what you’re doing but this board can pull it off. I actually had a hard time keeping up with my friend while he was pumping. I switched to a longboard because I was pushing like a madman on my regular board to keep up.

The Polar Bear trucks come stock on the Dinghy, and though they might not be ideal for pumping, this video proves you can. You could consider other trucks, but why waste money. You’re better off assembling a cruiser or longboard yourself.

You can pull off ollies, manuals, and some old school tricks but I wouldn’t take it to a skatepark. While the Dinghy is capable of doing more technical tricks that are closer to skateboarding, I can’t really recommend it. The board wasn’t made for that and you’re better off with a regular skateboard.

Only really experienced skateboarders can pull this off. I’m going to test this soon and will add a video to show you how it performs in skateparks.

Sure, the Dinghy is capable of handling really tight turns which is great for bowls/pools, but the wheels are rather soft . Manuals, slides, and plenty of pop tricks are all possible with this board but don’t expect to be the next Rodney Mullen on this board.

As opposed to regular skateboards, the Dinghy has big soft wheels, which makes your rolling more smooth but landing tricks just feel a bit sketchy and unstable compared to a popsicle skateboard. Riding a bowl would be possible I guess, but I still recommend a different setup for that purpose.

The Dinghy is perfect for rough roads. The large Hawgs wheels have no issues with debris like rocks or twigs, you hardly even notice them . As you can see in the video it’s able to ride over small patches of grass and uneven surfaces. Coming from a skateboarding background this was a fun experience. You need to get to know the board before you do stuff like this or you’ll eat dirt.

I really wanted to try out its downhill capabilities but it was already late. Looking at the setup I don’t think this board is suitable for downhill . To quickly summarize… there are definitely better boards for downhill riding. This board is ultimately designed for cruising. It’s a small board with narrow trucks which will become unstable at a high velocity.

The Landyachtz Dinghy has a small wheelbase. This is not an advantage when going downhill, because with a smaller wheelbase comes less stability. And you need to be stable when you’re going downhill. Not only this, but you won’t be able to reach the same speeds that you would reach while riding on a downhill board. City riding doesn’t involve many huge hills, and therefore the Dinghy wasn’t specifically designed for riding downhill.

However, it’s not all negative. Thanks to the stiffness of the maple deck and Fatty Hawgs wheels, you can catch some decent speed downhill while maintaining your balance. Also, thanks to the mellow radial concave, you’ll have better foot lock-in when you’re traveling fast. Still, it’s rather risky and you should pick a different setup if this is your main goal.

This Dinghy is a compact commuter board. You can carry it around without feeling awkward and it can easily fit under your arm or just strap it on a backpack . The 24″ mini version actually fits inside a backpack! 

The compact design allows you to carry it pretty much anywhere you want which is convenient when you need to use public transport. It’s slightly smaller than a regular skateboard as you can see in the image below.

The Landyachtz Dinghy was specifically made as a longboard for cruising in urban areas or cities. Thanks to the size and design of its trucks and wheelbase, the Dinghy is capable of managing sharp turns while maintaining stability.

The design of the kicktail will allow you to do tricks, such as ollies and manuals. Experienced riders can use it to slide or even do some technical tricks on a quarter pipe, though it wasn’t really designed for that.

This board isn’t t for serious downhill riding or freeriding and not for technical street skaters . It accelerates fast but doesn’t have a high top-speed as compared to downhill boards. I still think it goes fast enough to do what it’s supposed to when you push hard enough. It takes a while to slow down so this means a great cruising experience without having to push all the time.

This board is made for people who want to commute and have a fun and relaxing riding experience , and Landyachtz certainly succeeded. It has no issues with rough roads and you can even plow through a patch of grass when needed (as demonstrated in the video).

I took the Dinghy apart to see what kind of parts you get. Overall the components are of superior quality but I have some doubts about the bearings which I will address later on. Let’s see what you get:

• 7-ply maple wood deck with a medium concave 
• Square shaped kicktail and short oblong-shaped nose
• Wheel wells to prevent wheelbite
• Width: 8.0″.
• Length: 28.5″.
• Wheelbase: 14.6″.
• This version has clear grip tape lasts for many years under heavy use
• Two 4″ bear trucks 
• 1/4″ rubber riser pads to absorb shocks
• Four Hawgs wheels size 63mm with a durometer of 78A
• 8 Bear Spaceballs 8mm ABEC7 Bearings
• 8 speedwashers
• 8 bolts and nuts to attach your trucks

Stiff Maple Wood Deck 

Longboarders and skateboarders all over the world speak highly of the Landyachtz Dinghy deck and my test only confirms this. It’s both strong, durable and consists of high-quality 7-ply maple wood .

If we’re talking length, the Dinghy comes in sizes from 24”-28.5”. The range of widths are from 6.5”-8.5”, and you can get the wheelbase between 14”-15”. Overall, this board is fairly short with a small wheelbase.

The deck is very sturdy and doesn’t have any flex . This is something you might need to get used to if you also ride a flexy longboard. The Landyachtz Dinghy was made for fun , and the sturdiness allows you to do ollies though you can feel it wasn’t really made for that purpose.

I was a bit skeptical about the clear grip tape at first, but it’s actually pretty good and last for a very long time. I friend of mine owns an older model and the grip tape still holds after 8 years , even after abusing the board over and over again. I’ll go into durability in a moment. The clear grip will allow you to stand steady on your board and it just looks really nice.

Not all versions have clear grip tape, this is only the case with the Dinghy Summit. The grip provides enough grip to keep your feet in place but also allows you to move around for minor corrections.

It comes with wheel wells to prevent wheelbite which is great for people that love loose trucks and deep carves. I personally didn’t experience any wheels touching the board.

The combination of wheel wells and riser pads prevent any wheel blocking on sharp turns. 

The deck of the Landyachtz Dinghy has a mellow radial concave . The side is slightly elevated to get more board feel when performing tricks, it makes the board respond faster. Concave isn’t for everyone, it takes away from the stability you get from a board that’s entirely flat, but this thing is designed for playful rides .

On top of that, it allows you to perform sliding movements with a bit more ease. I think the concave is perfectly balanced, I hardly notice it but I come from a skateboarding background. I’m perfectly able to move my feet around despite the brand-new grip.

The Dinghy shape is directional and features both a nose and tail that are elevated , just like a popsicle. The nose is pointier shaped than the tail. The tail allows you to ollie or hop curbs or dig in a little when you come across a patch of grass. It will help you stay balanced while you lean back. 

The kicktail allows you to hop curbs while cruising and the soft wheels will make the landing pleasant. I was expecting it to bounce a lot but it really holds up well.

Another benefit of the tail is that you can do a few kickturns in parks or diagonal street objects if you’re up for it. Since this board is so stiff and the wheelbase is short, you may experience speed wobbles when you’re moving fast.

It also features a nose similar to regular skateboards though I haven’t really discovered the advantages yet. You could use it for nose manuals I guess.

As you can see in the image, the Dinghy has Polar Bear trucks, the axle width is 105mm. They seem a bit narrow and they are. It’s a compact board and the trucks need to fit right? Landyachtz did a really good job of balancing out all the parts . If you’re a longboarder the narrow trucks might feel a bit less stable than that you’re used to. Skateboarders will probably have no issues.

Bear trucks did a lot of R&D and found the perfect balance between the elastic zone permanent deformation by testing them on a destructometer. This means the truck can withstand huge impacts by bending and returning to its normal shape. 

The aggressive angle of the hangers increases their strength and the axels are heat-treated and reinforced to keep them from bending.

The trucks baseplates consist of 8 holes, which you can use to adjust the wheelbase. I tried but the result was a small gap between the board and the baseplate.

Still for a board this small I find it surprisingly stable so something was done right. The trucks are highly maneuverable, which also has to do with the soft bushings. 

The cup washers hold the bushings in their place and protect them from being damaged by the kingpin nut. The Pivot cups in the baseplate keep the Dinghy turning effectively at the baseplate’s intended angle.

I can’t seem to find any specifications about the hardness of the bushings but they feel medium soft. The bottom bushing is shaped like a barrel, while the top bushing is shaped like a cone. Bushings have different shapes to allow for different riding styles.

This barrel/cone combo is just great for the ability to perform maneuvers in tight corners. If you really can’t get used to them and the trucks feel too loose, it might have something to do with your weight . Consult my bushings guide in order to find out what you need.

The large bushing seats on the Dinghy help control your turning abilities (along with the pivot cup and washers) but at first, they felt incredibly loose. You don’t want to tighten the kingpin nut right away as this may lead to crushed bushings. Break them in first by riding the board or rocking it sideways by leaning.

After an hour or so tighten them just a little, if I recall correctly I only turned the nut once which was enough . This board was designed for commuting the city. This means that you will have to make a lot of quick and sharp turns and a reliable, responsive board.

The Landyachtz Dinghy has quarter-inch riser pads equipped between the trucks and the deck. These are to prevent wheel bite when you make sharp turns or land a bit hard on the sides. Heavier riders run more risk getting wheel bite compared to lightweights. The Risers give a little bit of extra clearance between the board and the wheels (the board also has wheel wells just in case). 

They are rather soft which helps to absorb impact from shocks and they reduce vibration from rough roads. 

The Dinghy Hawgs Wheels

The wheels of the Dinghy have diameters of 63mm. These are Fatty Hawgs wheels which were designed and created by Landyachtz themselves. The average size of wheels on most longboards is around 70mm (guestimate), meaning that the Dinghy’s wheels are a lot smaller. But what does that mean?

The smaller wheels will allow for quicker acceleration. However, your overall top speed will be decreased because of these smaller wheels. The Landyachtz is not quite as fast as a downhill board, but it will still reach incredible speeds for what it’s worth .

Although these wheels are smaller than average, they are still extremely smooth. You’ll hardly feel small bumps even at the highest speeds and they can take on rough surfaces like no other.

With a durometer of 78A, these wheels are very soft but still rather solid. I had no issues with cracks, grass patches, and really rough concrete. You’ll be able to tackle cracks in the sidewalk and plenty of metal objects without severely damaging your wheels.

Stay away from glass though, splinters can get stuck in your wheels. You’ll find the huge 50mm contact patch of these wheels to have great grip while still being able to perform slides in a controllable manner.

You do feel their limitations when you try ollies though. It’s just a bit bouncy and harder to control your board when landing. I also would like to point out that (like any wheel) they will wear down faster on rougher surfaces. Still, they’ll last you for a few years but I’ll update this post once I learned more.

After testing out other wheels I can say that the Fatty Hawgs are ok but to make this the best cruiser, consider other wheels. It performed so much better after replacing the wheels with Orangatang Fat Free wheels, way more grippy and smooth. I also swapped the bearings for Bronson Raws and the difference is night and day.

I also tried OJ Super Juice wheels but the contact patch is just a bit too small. Want the most out of this board? Go for the Fat Free wheels.

As with the rest of the longboard, Landyachtz manufactures its own bearings. This specific brand is called Bear Spaceball bearings. These bearings boast a rating of ABEC7. However, it’s good to keep in mind that ABEC doesn’t really factor too much into longboards and skateboards .

ABEC rating is for machines with high RPMs, like over 9000. You won’t get more than 2000 RPM on a skateboard (downhillers might disagree).

The Bear Spaceball bearings are equipped with built-in spacers, I was a bit surprised actually because I never saw that before. The good news is, they are open bearings which makes it a lot easier to clean and lube compared to closed bearings.

I still would prefer separate metal spacers with open bearings and I’m not sure why Landyachtz decided to use built-in spacers, they are the experts so I’m sure I’m missing something here. Fancy stuff though, can’t argue with that.

The Bear Spaceball bearings are open bearings which makes them easy to clean and lube. You don’t have to worry about dust because the outer rings and spacers keep dirt out. I wouldn’t recommend riding in the rain though.

Spacers are often overlooked but they help to keep the dirt out and prevent destroying them when you tighten the nut too much and prevent crushing the inner workings. They also allow you to tighten your axles without screwing up the rest of your setup. If you decide to replace the bearings, make sure to get spacers!

I’m not yet convinced yet about these bearings and already noticed they perform less than in the first week. I might lube them a bit but I expected more. If they start to wear down sooner than expected I’ll replace them with Bones bearings. 

The board is quite heavy and made of quality maple wood and will chip if you don’t handle it right. I wouldn’t recommend smashing into the corner of a wall, but that seems pretty obvious. It takes a bit of effort to pop the tail and landing ollies is a bit more challenging compared to a popsicle. This probably has to do with it’s slightly narrower profile and bigger wheels.

This board is meant for cruising and not for flip tricks. Treat her right and she’ll hold up just fine. Don’t ride in the rain, this will dissolve the epoxy resin holding the layers together and your board will delaminate, not to mention damaging the bearings.

In the picture above are an older and rather trashed Dinghy and a brand new model. A friend of mine owns it for almost 8 years and he’s known for trashing boards. Oh boy, that tail suffered hard but even after almost a decade, it still is his favorite board.

This longboard is a lot smaller than most others. So, you may be wondering if it’s big enough for you to ride on. Basically, all of this comes down to 2 things: your own size (height, and arguably shoe size), and the type of riding you plan on doing.

If you have an above-average shoe size, then you may have problems getting comfortable on this board. The deck is 8” wide, so you’ll need to decide if this is large enough for you to be comfortable with the size of your shoes. When encountering tight turns, you may experience instability because of your toes sticking out.

Also, due to the short length of this board, it may be tough for taller people to get a good stance. However, if you’re around 6’4” or shorter, you shouldn’t have a problem here. It’s also a preference thing, I know tall riders that ride small boards and short riders that ride large boards.

And onto the “type of riding” part… the size of this board is great for what it’s meant to do, which is commuting around a city and just cruising. This smaller size is going to be great for weaving in and out of obstacles, such as other pedestrians. And with most things, it’s going to come down to your personal riding preference.

So you’re interested in the Landyachtz Dinghy. But you’re curious as to what your options will be as far as the designs go. Well, here’s the good news… there are over 20 designs for the Dinghy and 3 different sizes . The largest is 28.5″, in between the 26″ and the smallest is only 24″.  There’s a good chance that there’s a design out there that will fit you and your personality.

If you need some examples to look into, I got you covered. One of the top-selling Dinghy boards is the Emboss. Some other very popular designs include the Dinghy Beach Party, the Dinghy Summit (as reviewed here), and the Dinghy Trout. Be sure to check out all of the others as well.

I picked the Summit because I just adore the design. My friend now rides this board in the city and people actually compliment him on his fine board.

Lastly, if you want a board without concave go for the Landyachtz Dinghy Handstand. This is a dedicated cruiser without a curved nose and kicktail which results in a more stable ride.

The learning curve might be a bit steeper for beginners. Many reviews claim that this board isn’t for beginners but I’m not entirely convinced after riding and testing it myself. I even let a beginner ride this board and she didn’t have much trouble at all.

Sure there’s a bit of a learning curve here, the concave might feel a bit awkward at first but you should get used to it fairly quickly. Take some time to learn how to ride, you’ll get it. Find a spot that’s not crowded and preferable a smooth surface.

The Landyachtz Dinghy has been designed as a board for city cruising. It has extremely responsive trucks and is very twitchy. It’s a bit less stable than most boards that are recommended for beginners. Don’t skip on this board because you’re a beginner or inexperienced rider.

It takes a bit more effort to get to know the board, but once you do you won’t look back. If you want to be on the safe side, consider the Landyachtz Dinghy Handstand. It doesn’t have any concave, the deck is entirely flat making it easier to ride. If you eventually want to hop curbs and slide a bit, go for it. It’s a waste of money to buy another board first.

Are you fairly-experienced in either skateboarding or longboarding? Then go for it! Skip it when you are heavier or your shoe size 11+ (US). In this case I would recommend the Landyachtz Tugboat (review).

We’ll start off with the good parts. The Landyachtz Dinghy has that longboard feel to it, yet has the control and agility of a skateboard. It’s rather stiff and lacks flex, and a medium concave to help you perform tricks. Thanks to the kicktail of the Dinghy, it’s possible to do a few tricks such as ollies and manuals.

The Fatty Hawgs wheels will enable you to do slides on this board. The Bear Spaceball bearings are supposed to be top-rated and high-quality,and they hold up fine so far. Although it’s not a downhill board, you’ll still be able to have fun cruising downhill (if you’re experienced enough) but do so at your won risk. And of course, this board is a bit smaller than the average, making it easier to carry around to your next destination.

I think this board is fine for beginners but the learning curve might be a bit steeper, make sure you really want to get into skateboarding/longboarding. You can always go for the version without concave if this is holding you back.

This is a great cruiser and you won’t regret buying the Dinghy, check evo.com for prices or compare prices and models on Amazon.

Now for the bad parts. The board designs are beautifully-crafted (pro), but this decreases your motivation for doing heavy tricks (con). If you have big feet, you may find it riding on the small deck of the Dinghy uncomfortable, though my friend with size 13 doesn’t have any issues.

The board is a bit heavy but you won’t notice when you ride it. I think the weight makes it more stable and can’t be considered a con. It’s really portable and you won’t be bothered carrying it around.

While the price isn’t a part of the actual board itself, it’s something to put in perspective. If you’ve gotten this far and are truly interested in the Dinghy, then it’s only fair that we talk about costs.

Here’s the good news… for its quality and efficiency, this board is truly affordable . Prices will vary depending on where you look, but you should expect to spend no more than $150 for this high-quality cruiser (except for Europeans like me, I paid about 170 Euros but got a bunch of really cool stickers). And that’s with all the top-notch components included.

There are many boards of similar quality that sell for much higher prices, but they can’t do what the Dinghy does. This board almost gets you the best bang for your buck in but there is a contender that is even better.

Landyachtz was started by only 2 people and has now grown to 60+ employees. This Canadian company now has shops in California and British Columbia as well. Landyachtz has been making longboards and accessories for over 20 years, and still going strong.

So Landyachtz specializes in longboards, but how about the accessories? By now you’ve heard of Hawgs Wheels and Bear Trucks. Both of these brands are well-known in the longboarding community as being of the highest quality. And they are both brands of Landyachtz. Are you environmentally friendly? Landyachtz is, as they plant a maple tree every time someone buys a board .

The Landyachtz Dinghy is a compact cruiser that is made for commuting around a city or any other urban area. This longboard has great stability and offers a comfortable ride. Hop curbs, pop a few ollies, slide when you’re ready and most of all… enjoy the experience. The Dinghy comes stock with high-quality components, all manufactured by Landyachtz themselves.

The Landyachtz Dinghy is one of the best at what it does: commuting through urban areas. The design will allow you to make all the quick turns you need when venturing through urban obstacles. You’ll be able to accelerate quickly whenever you need to. And although it’s not specifically a freeriding or downhill board, you can still pull this off (moderately) with enough experience.

There are more than 20 artistic designs to choose from, smaller versions and a dedicated cruiser without concave. What more can you ask for? If this is not your board check out a few more mini cruisers that I’ve tested and reviewed or check my top 11 list of best cruisers I personally tested.

Even though I’m not much of a longboarder, I am impressed by the quality. My friend likes it even more, so I decided to let him keep this board and I had to convince him because he thought it was too much.

Oh, I almost forgot. Why the 4star rating instead of 5? It mainly has to do with the bearings and wheels, not a fan when compared to other brands. Only the Comet Cruiser gets 5 stars.

I’m an aged skateboarder and still shred responsibly. Started skateboarding 25 years ago, peaked in the 2000’s, and still ride to this day. I am a total geek when it comes to skateboard gear, love test to stuff and share my findings.

Landyachtz Dinghy skateboard owner feedback: pros and cons

Here’s a rundown of the Dinghy’s main strengths and weaknesses according to Dinghy owners:

Landyachtz Dinghy pros

• Riders love the Dinghy’s dimensions, quality parts, and awesome designs. Phenomenal product, best board out there from a top brand in the $150 price area
• The Dinghy has the feel of a longboard but the control of a skateboard
• The Dinghy gives a very smooth ride. Most riders feel the wheels are soft and good at going over cracks and uneven pavement (though some disagree, see Cons below)
• The Dinghy is a perfect little shredder for anyone with experience. You can do all sort of tricks and still have the cruising ability of a well-designed longboard.
• The Dinghy’s stiff flex gives the board good stability
• The Dinghy has very functional kicktails for doing ollies here and there
• The Dinghy is very lightweight to carry around, perfect for campus, fits in your backpack. Exceptional board for cruising around campus and the city.
• The Dinghy is strong enough for doing tricks, including for a 200-pound rider
• The Dinghy’s bearings are phenomenal out of the box
• The Dinghy is precisely engineered. probably the best quality setup for the price.
• Sidewalk-to-street transitions on the Dinghy are smooth
• The Dinghy can be taken down hills if you’re experienced enough
• Compared to a Penny board, the Dinghy is lighter, wider, and stiffer
• The Dinghy carves really well
• The 63mm 78A Fatty Hawg wheels are perfect for doing little slides.
• The Polar Bear trucks on the Dinghy allow for deep and fluid carves even at higher speeds.
• The Landyachyz Dinghy has absolutely gorgeous artwork e.g. the Dinghy Blunt Meowijuana or Wild Cats , Dinghy Ibiscus , Dinghy Emboss

Landyachtz Dinghy cons

• If you’re a heavier rider, you may feel a bumpy or sluggish ride on bad pavement with the Dinghy’s original wheels. Fitting some Orangatang Stimulus with Dime bag wedged risers can improve things significantly.
• The Dinghy’s stock wheels quickly get dirty and bad-looking
• The Dinghy is sensitive to poor foot placement or bad balancing, especially if coming from a longboard – you’ll need to up your skills
• The Dinghy sits up quite high and the small wheelbase makes it a little tricky
• The Dinghy’s artwork is just too nice to scratch, hindering your motivation to try tricks!
• The Dinghy’s stock cone/barrel bushings are high quality but may be a bit soft for a heavier rider. Higher duro bushings e.g. Venoms (Amazon) are recommended.
• The Dinghy may scratch up quite easily if you do heavy tricks
• Make sure you have risers on your Dinghy setup before going down a hill – else you may risk a nasty crash

So that’s what the Dinghy owners have been saying. Now let’s dig in a bit deeper and look at what the Dinghy is capable of.

What is the Landyachtz Dinghy good for?

The Landyachtz Dinghy is a smaller commuter longboard that can easily be carried under your arm, in a backpack, on the bus or on a plane, easy to store in a locker or closet.  Its main appeal stems from its attractive, practical and fun image.

The board’s narrow (105mm) topmount trucks and small wheelbase make it very nimble and turny .  On the other hand, it’s also surprisingly stable , making it a nice board for cruising, carving, and riding down mellow hills.

It’s small enough to do tricks such as ollies, kickflips, and manuals, and its kicktail makes it easy to jump on and off curbs and big potholes – flawless sidewalk to street transitions.  It’s also good for riding bowls and ramps at the skatepark  (assuming you choose a longboard vs a regular skateboard ).

It’s worth noting that the Dinghy is best suited for an intermediate rider due to its small size and wheelbase, topmount style (the board sits really high) and fast trucks.  Although it’s relatively stable in relation to its size, a beginner longboarder may prefer a drop-through (lower deck) as a first board for more stability and easier pushing.

Also keep in mind that, while the Landyachtz Dinghy is a great casual mini-cruiser and “slasher” (for simple kick tricks), it’s not meant for serious freeriding or downhill speed – it’s just too small and not stable enough for that.

See the Dinghy’s versions on Amazon or here on Evo .

NOTE : since this article, I’ve published a new review of the Landyachtz Tugboat , the other ruling mini-cruiser from Landyachtz. Check it out also for the lowdown on Dinghy vs Tugboat.

Features of the Landyachtz Dinghy

The Dinghy complete longboard comes with high-quality components including Hawgs wheels, Polar Bear trucks, and Spaceball bearings – as opposed to generic no-name components.  The deck, trucks, and wheels were designed together to ensure full compatibility and precise engineering for the complete longboard.

The price for the complete, normally around $130, is actually lower than the sum of its components (around $150 between the deck, trucks, wheels, bearings, risers, hardware, and grip tape).

The Dinghy comes in 3 different sizes to accommodate smaller riders :

• Landyachtz Dinghy 28:   28.5″ length, 8″ width, 14.6″ wheelbase
• Lanyachtz Mini Dinghy 26 : 26″ length, 6.5″ width, 14″ wheelbase
• Landyachtz Mini Dinghy 24:   24″ length, 6.5″ width, 14″ wheelbase – for featherweight riders

Aside from the deck, all size models use the same components.

The Landyachtz Dinghy’s deck

The first thing that pops out when looking at the Dinghy is its quality directional   topmount deck.  If you’re like most Dinghy owners, you will probably like the strength and durability of the sturdy 7-ply maple deck layups over time.

Flex and grip

The deck is relatively stiff , suitable for popping and sliding the board.  It has a mellow radial concave which allows for comfortable foot placement when turning fast, riding downhill or sliding, albeit without locking in your feet too much.

Likewise, the durable clear grip provides good foot traction, but not so much as to make it difficult to turn your feet.  Some versions have a thin foam layer between the board and the grip tape for extra comfort – but not all models.

Kicktails and clearance

The ample kicktail  invites you to perform kick turns and small jumps.  The small nose makes it easy to pull manuals and other tricks.  The deck is slightly heavier than a regular skateboard, so popping ollies requires more leg muscle.

See also: can you ollie on a Penny board?

The deck has flared wheel wells providing more clearance for carving, a must-have given the Landyachtz Dinghy’s highly turny trucks and short wheelbase.  The wheel wells and risers help avoid wheelbite for those tight turns.

Some caveats

While the maple construction gives the Dinghy strength and durability, it also has its downsides. For one thing, maple decks are not as water resistant as bamboo or hybrid ones and absorb water over time, thus making it heavier.

Wooden decks also tend to chip faster .  Nevertheless, many Dinghy owners reported their boards hold up for an unusually long time without signs or wear and tear.

Finally, the Landyachtz Dinghy’s deck can suffer from speed wobbles  early on at faster speed because of its stiffness and short wheelbase (read about  overcoming speed wobbles) .  But of course, speed is NOT what the mini -cruiser was built for in the first place.

See the Dinghy’s price and versions on Amazon or here on Evo .

Landyachtz Dinghy’s trucks

The Dinghy comes with 105mm, traditional kingpin Polar Bear trucks with enlarged bushing seats for more turnability.  That’s quite a narrow truck, not as stable as a bigger one, but that’s to be expected given the small size of the Dinghy’s deck.

Bear trucks have very high tolerances to minimize slop.  The hangers are machine faced for increased strength and the axels are heat treated and reinforced to keep them spinning straight.

The trucks baseplates have 8 holes, which allows you to customize your board by leveraging either the old school or new school hole pattern.  The trucks also come with 0.25″ risers to reduce the risk of wheelbite.

Some riders find the bushings initially a bit squeaky, though that’s the case with most new bushings until they get broken in.  You may choose to replace them with other quality bushings such as   Venom bushings  (Amazon) matching your weight and style.

Landyachtz Dinghy’s wheels

The Dinghy complete comes with Hawgs Fatty 63mm wheels – again, Landyachtz owns the Hawgs brand.  Hawgs wheels use proprietary urethane and rigorously tested downhill under freeriding conditions.

The Hawgs are the same wheels that come with the high-end Landyachtz downhill / freeride models, so they boast superior quality as confirmed by most Dinghy owners.

Smaller but very smooth

While the 63mm diameter wheels are adequately small to match the Dinghy’s size and fast turning trucks, they have great roll speed for their size.  With their soft 78A durometer, they feel somewhat squishy yet still firm .  The Fatties strike that sweet spot between smooth rolling on all kinds of terrains and easy breaking into slides .

You’ll find the wheels to be buttery smooth – you can barely feel the bumps even at higher speeds.  The wheels can really run over almost anything – including sidewalk cracks and even metal chunks, without easily getting chipped.

Grippy yet slidy

These wheels’ small size and proportionally wide contact patch (50mm) make them very controllable for slides while still being grippy enough.  Their very rounded lips on both sides also greatly facilitate kicking into slides.

Another feature of the Fatties that makes them quite versatile is the offset positioning of the wheel cores.  With this positioning, the core (hard material inside the soft urethane) is placed somewhere in between the inner side of the wheel and the center – as opposed to centerset and sideset cores.

Offset positioning results in a balanced mix of grip and slide .  The Fatties’ very wide and supportive cores are actually “very offset”, reflecting the Landyachtz Dinghy’s focus on sliding and tricks when carving the streets.

Landyachtz Dinghy’s bearings

The bearings that come stock with the Dinghy are Bear Spaceball bearings .  Here again, not your typical generic, no-name, low-quality component.  These are very decent, ABEC7 bearings (though ABEC does not mean much for longboarding).

The built-in spacers help the wheels stay aligned and wiggle free, make it easier to change the wheels, and let you tighten your axles to your liking without messing up the setup.

As a Dinghy rider, you’ll find these bearings allow your wheels to roll for a long time, and are strong enough to withstand a lot of popping tricks without getting damaged.

Although most Dinghy owners agree these bearings are pretty good, you may still choose to upgrade to even better ones such as Bone Reds for more speed (for more info check out this post, the section upgrading your bearings ).

Dinghy graphics and designs

One of the things skaters really love about the Landyachtz Dinghy is its really cool choice of graphic design – some of them engraved in wood. View the Dinghy graphics on Amazon or here on Evo .

The Dinghy Emboss , for example, with its very sober looks, has been a top seller in Landyachtz’s mini cruiser category.   Some Dinghy owners actually order a second Dinghy just to hang it on their wall!

Other popular Dinghy versions include the Red Dragon, Crown Peak, Burger, Coffin, and Blunt.

The Dinghy Skeleton features a really cool white skeleton character on a black background:

Questions about the Landyachtz Dinghy’s size

Longboarders considering the Dinghy sometimes wonder about the board being too small. As discussed, whether it’s too small for your needs first depends on the kind of riding you want to do. The Dinghy is a great size board for city commuting, cruising, and easy transportation on sidewalks and around campus, being super nimble and portable.

Besides usage, though, you should also factor in your weight, height, and foot size when deciding whether the Dinghy is a good match for you. Some riders with larger feet may feel a 8″ deck is a bit narrow for comfortable riding – you may get “ footbite ” in really tight turns. Also, if you’re a taller rider, you may have a shorter stance than usual on the Dinghy because of the short length.

In short, the dinghy may not always be the best match for bigger riders. Here’s an excerpt from a helpful comment from Steve, one of my readers (see the comments section):

I’m 6ft and about 195lbs, size 10 (UK) feet. I snowboard and love to ride my loaded dervish Sama. I’ve has fun in various cities but find carrying it less convenient than it could be. I’ve not really ridden for about 3 or 4 years but fancied getting back out in the streets when I’m working away. So I just bought a Dinghy and have been learning to ride it for a few days. It does have its challenges! Foot placement is tricky for me, there is very little room for error. I have ridden 2 longboards, Sama and a Landyachtz Switchblade which are both low and long, easy and forgiving to push, I found a preferred foot position on both boards but it was adaptable, with the Dinghy I am almost hanging 5 and it teeters on the edge of my comfort zone. The higher deck on the Dinghy has given me a couple of sketchy foot braking moments and I’ve accidentally stomped on the kicktail a couple of times. The Dinghy is very nimble and at lower speeds is super comfortable. Today though I found that upping the speeds and looking to cruise around a wide curve it just didn’t behave as I was expecting. it was almost like I was leaning back with pressure on the toe edge to make the turn. weird! Summing up my few hours of riding experience on the Dinghy so far, there is a lot to love, its massive fun. riding the Sama now comparatively feels a little dull and predictable. It will be a steep learning curve and I expect to eat dirt regularly along the way, but I don’t think the challenges are insurmountable. I will find where my feet are best placed so my pushing and braking skills will improve. I hope to improve my skills so the Dingy becomes easy and fun for getting around cities 3 to 4 miles at the time, much faster than walking and much more fun than taking the bus. Most of all, I know it always fits in my suitcase so I never have an excuse not to have it with me.

Landyachtz Dinghy weight limit

While the Dinghy doesn’t have an official weight limit, riders above 250 pounds / 110 kilograms should probably choose a bigger or thicker board. The Dinghy’s 7-ply maple construction may not withstand that much weight, especially if riding hard.

Cruising & commuting on the Landyachtz Dinghy

The Dinghy is meant for city cruising and convenient urban transport. Its short size and wheelbase and the directional shape make it super nimble for weaving around people and things in tight spaces. The narrow turny Polar Bear trucks are very quick and turny  for sidewalk navigation.

The ample kicktail adds to the maneuverability and allows for easy curb and crack hopping. The Dinghy can easily be stashed into or onto a backpack, and painlessly carried around a store or a school building.

In short, the Dinghy really is a fast and nimble city slashing board. You can ride it pretty much everywhere on short trips around town instead of driving or taking the bus, and have a great time doing so. It does take a bit of skills to handle the Dinghy for commuting – see the section about beginners below.

Freeriding & downhill on the Dinghy

Short answer: not so much due to its small wheelbase. When going fast you need stability, which typically comes with a longer wheelbase and/or a lowered deck (e.g. drop-through trucks or a dropped platform). The Dinghy’s 14/14.5″ wheelbase is a bit short for real speed beyond small hills on your city commute path.

That being said, some experienced freeride and downhill riders are able to ride the Dinghy quite fast because of the deck’s stiffness and the Hawgs wheels nice grip. The mellow radial concave does provide a bit of foot lock-in at higher speed – albeit not as much as a true freeride board. At moderate speeds, the Dinghy’s topmount reactiveness and turny trucks allow for tight carves and easy breaking into slides.

To summarize, while the Dinghy is a a bit short for real speed, some experienced longboarders have some serious fun sliding on moderate hills.

Pumping on the Landyachtz Dinghy

With the righ trucks, the Dinghy can be made into a cool pumping board. Swapping the Bear trucks for some good surfskate trucks, e.g. Carver CX/C5 trucks, Slide trucks, or the Yow surfskate adapter, can turn the Dinghy into a small pumping machine. Although narrower than a typical surf skateboard (8″ vs 9″+), it can still pump very nicely on sidewalks, parking lots and garage driveways.

Check out my post on surfskate trucks to learn more about which truck to use.

Skatepark & street tricks on the Dinghy

Many riders love hitting the skatepark, ditches, and pools on their Dinghy. The responsiveness and tight turns make it a great board for park riding and street tricks such as kick tricks, manuals and slides. The Dinghy’s carving ability and smooth rolling on its bigger wheels (compared to a street board) also make it super fun for pool and ditch riding . Optionally slap some surf trucks on it and you’ll be really surfing the concrete on that awesome mini-cruiser.

The Landyachtz Dinghy is not for complete beginners

Due to its small size and responsive trucks, the Dinghy is quite twitchy – again, it’s designed for nimble city cruising and slashing. If you’re a beginner, you’ll normally want a more stable board, one with a lower turn-to-lean ratio, which means the board will turn less for the same amount of lean onto the edge.

A longer wheelbase, a wider deck with wider trucks, harder bushings, larger wheels, all these factors contribute to making a less twitchy longboard. Also as mentioned earlier, a drop-through or drop deck longboard will ride closer to the ground compared to the Dinghy and thus give you better stability for learning to kick push and ride confidently on flat ground.

Some new riders, however, have better than average balance and may get used quickly to the Dinghy’s responsive topmount ride. You may just fall for the coolness factor of the Dinghy and decide to learn on it no matter what! That may be easier, however, for a smaller rider than for a bigger one.

Landyachtz: the cruising company

I’ll wrap up with a quick word about the Landyachtz brand. Landyacthz has been building longboards for 20 years .  Started in a basement by two friends, it has grown into a 60 employee company with offices and retail space in Vancouver and Los Angeles, and a manufacturing facility in British Columbia.

Landyachtz also owns the Bear Trucks and Hawgs Wheels brands, both well-recognized in the longboarding community for their quality.  All the Lanyachtz complete longboards come with these trucks and wheels.

The company keeps a strong focus on their cruiser longboard category, putting special efforts in quality deck construction and quality components.  In addition to their mini-cruiser line – which includes the Dinghy, Landyachtz also has a full-size street cruiser line (ATV), a traditional pintail series (Freedom), and a freeride and downhill longboard series.

Wrapping up

If you’re looking for a cruiser small and light enough to take anywhere, yet stable enough to ride comfortably AND agile enough for slides and kick tricks (in short, you’re looking for a unicorn) then you’ve found it with the Landyachtz Dinghy – Amazon or Evo .

The mix of features and component quality you’ll get for the price is hard to beat.  And the graphics are just plain awesome, with plenty to choose from.

Just remember though, no single board can be everything to everyone.  So if you’re a total beginner, the Dinghy may be too small/fast /high riding for you.  Also, if you’re a downhill addict, the Dinghy will probably not give the stability and confidence you need at high speeds.

If you’re an intermediate level skater looking to carve the streets, you can also fine tune the Landyachtz Dinghy to suit your specific needs, tightening or loosening the trucks to make it more stable or faster, upgrading the bushings and bearings, etc.

Overall, most Dinghy owners agree you can’t go wrong with this board, provided you have the right skills for it.

Hi, I have been skating on my penny board for years and I wanna try something different as I have grown larger. But I wanna still have a bard that I can carry behind my bagpack with a clip.

Does a landyachtz dinghy have that function?

28 inch does seem abit bigger.

Whats your advice?

Thursday 29th of August 2019

Hi Jessie, I'm writing to you from Italy, and I would like know if also the Dinghy - as the Tugboat - has "the wedged risers on the front trucks", that "improves the board’s carving ability" and "helps to make the Tugboat much “surfier” and more pumpable than a regular longboard". I'm asking to you because I prefer ride without pushing with a surfskate in my flat land near Venice (not hills at all). Scuse me if I annoied you with this question, but at anyway thank'you very much for your work and your know-how.

Hey Michele,

I don't believe the Dinghy comes with wedged risers out of the box, however you can definitely fit some onto it for slightly improved pumping. If you really want to pump, however, you can mount a surf adapter like YOW on top of the Polar Bear trucks - see the YOW kit here on Amazon or the Waterborne surf adapter here. You can check out this post for in-depth info about surfskate adapters.

Alternatively, you may want to take a look at Slide surfskates (see Amazon Italy page here). Slide makes quality and affordable surfskates that work very well for pumping and carving. You can also check out my review of Slide surfskates here.

Hope this helps. Ride on! Jesse

Wednesday 3rd of July 2019

I'm looking for a longboard suitable for a pumping track and after some research I've decided that Dinghy may be a good candidate. I'm 65 kg and 185cm (144lbs, ~6ft). I don't have almost any experience with flat longboarding but I'm able to keep balance/speed on the pumping track so I'd call myself intermidiate. Is Landyachtz Dinghy a good choice for me?

Thanks, Tob

Hey Tob, are you referring to pumping TRUCKS? What kind of trucks do you mean? Surfskate trucks like Carver or Yow? Bennett truck for LDP? Do you want to pump for surf-style carving or are you looking more for long distance pumping on flat ground? Depending on your goals the answer is quite different! Aloha

Tuesday 25th of June 2019

I snowboard and have recently got into longboarding. I'm learning on a tan tien (39" with 27" wheelbase), which I can use pretty well on bike paths.

However, when I'm on sidewalks, I can't manage a 90 degree turn, even with proper bushings for my weight. I suspect it's just too long a wheelbase.

Looking at shorter wheelbase options, would you recommend something like a landyachtz dinghy (15" wheelbase) or something in the 20" wheelbase range (like a loaded poke)? I've never used a street skateboard so I have no preference for 15", but I'm not sure if 20" is small enough to handle sidewalks corners well.

Thanks, Vinay

Hey Vinay, yeah the reason you're having trouble handling tight corners is probably the size and drop-through design of the Tan Tien which is best-suited for distance riding/pushing and speed. I myself ride a Poke as my main board for everyday riding including city sidewalks. Not only is the Poke shorter than the Tan Tien with a smaller wheelbase, as a topmount it's much more responsive due to the increased leverage on the trucks. I use the 2 different setups depending on my mood, the carving setup with Paris trucks and Stimulus wheels or the surf setup with Carver CX trucks and 4Prez wheels. See the details for both setups here on the Loaded page. Both are awesome and super nimble, they let you make very tight turns - I can actually do U-turns on pretty narrow paths quite easily. The Paris setup is lower riding and super responsive, better for slides and hills, while the Carver setup is great for pumping and surf style.

The Dinghy is a great little sidewalk cruiser but it's a bit twitchy and harder to handle if you're a newer rider and/or if you're a bigger rider. The Poke may be a better option, being just the right size and lightweight with the composite bamboo construction (like most Loaded models).

Landyachtz Dinghy Review (Tested & Compared)

The Landyachtz Dinghy is a solid mini cruiser. It’s built with quality components. The deck is made with seven plies of Canadian maple. It’s functional for casual cruising, carving, and mellow tricks.

Which Landyachtz Dinghy to get?

There are a few variations of the Landyachtz Dinghy; it just comes down to the deck specs. If you want something a little bigger than the Dinghy, consider the Landyachtz Tugboat .

If you have a  local shop  that carries the Dinghy, buy from them.

Length: 28.2″ – 28.5″ / 71.6 cm – 72.5 cm Width: 8″ – 8.6″ / 20.3 cm – 21.8 cm Wheelbase: 14.5″ – 15″ / 36.8 cm – 38.1 cm

The deck has a mellow concave , which is nice for locking into carves. It’s subtle enough to be comfortable for longer cruises.

The defined kicktail and nose make flip tricks doable. But they’re not overly aggressive where it’s annoying for cruising.

It’s pressed with 7-ply Canadian maple wood, so there’s no flex.

From a design perspective, the deck shape is well thought out.

Diameter: 63mm Contact Patch: 50mm Durometer: 78a

The Fatty Hawgs are stone-grounded , soft wheels that are incredibly versatile.

They easily roll over rocks/cracks, making them an excellent cruiser wheel .

They grip the pavement well while carving, but you can still powerslide them if you want. The urethane formula, stone-ground contact patch, rounded lips , and size perfectly pair with the Dinghy.

Hangar: 130mm Bushings: Cone & Barrel

The Dinghy has traditional kingpin (TKP) 130mm Polar Bear trucks. Quarter-inch riser pads under the trucks to help prevent wheelbite .

I’ve used Polar Bear trucks for over ten years and can confidently recommend them. They’re a high-quality truck at a decent price point.

Type: Built-Ins Shields: Single-Capped

The Landyachtz Dinghy comes equipped with Bear Spaceball built-in bearings. Built-in bearings are pretty standard these days and will make your life easier when swapping wheels.

You don’t have to worry about lining up the spacers or keeping track of them.

Comparisons

Landyachtz tugboat.

Length: 30″ / 76.2cm Width: 9″ / 22.9cm Wheelbase: 15″ / 38.1cm

Globe Blazer

Length : 26″ / 66cm Width : 7.25″ / 18.4cm Wheelbase : 13.75″ / 34.9cm

Arbor Pilsner

Length: 28.5″ / 72.4cm Width: 8.6″ / 21.8cm Wheelbase: 14.5″ / 36.8cm

Dinghy vs Tugboat

The Dinghy is a smaller version of the Tugboat. The Tugboat is slightly longer and wider. It’s best to figure out what deck width you like and go from there. For reference, I’m a shoe size US men’s 11 and I prefer the Tugboat for the extra deck space.

Dinghy vs Arbor Pilsner

The Landyachtz Dinghy and Arbor Pilsner are very similar. The Dinghy comes with built-in spacer bearings. From a quality perspective, you can’t go wrong with either the Dinghy or Pilsner.

Dinghy vs Globe Blazer

The Dinghy is longer and wider than the Globe Blazer (26″). However, Globe does offer a bigger version (32″). From a quality perspective, the Landyachtz Dinghy is a better deal.

Dinghy vs Penny Board

The apparent difference between the penny/nickel board and Dinghy is the decks. Penny uses injection molding to make their plastic decks, and the Dinghy is 7-ply maple. Because the Penny is plastic, it flexes a good amount and the Dinghy doesn’t.

Landyachtz Dinghy (Summit) Cruiser Skateboard | Driift Review

We were excited to receive this in the post, the self-proclaimed ‘best cruiser board ever made’.

The Landyachtz Dinghy ‘Summit’.

This can be seen as an attempt to have a single solution, capable of handling all the things you could throw at a skateboard.

You can tell they have precisely engineered this skateboard specifically for the user, no wonder it has withstood the test of time (over 20 years).

Landyachtz are primarily a longboard company but in the dinghy, they have created a very capable all-rounder that any skateboarder could get along with.

For the specification of this board, it has:

• Small lightweight 28.5 inch deck with generous kick tail (for turns and tricks)
• Mellow concave deck made From 7 ply Canadian maple
• Super soft 78a big Hawgs wheels (a Landyachtz owned company)
• Polar Bear trucks
• Space ball bearings- This one doesn’t have the foam back grip tape (which is often a nice feature on a cruiser deck)
• And the usual graphics that the riders know and love.

With this combination, the more than capable all-rounder is born, cruising the streets is breeze, with a shape that makes it capable for tricks and getting around a skatepark.

This board is very agile to turn and slide, and rugged enough to skate ditches and rough terrain, even getting over patches of mud and grass.

If I could only have one skateboard in my inventory, the Landyachtz Dinghy will be my choice as its capabilities overlap with so many other types of board.

Now to get on to its downsides, which centres around its size. This may actually be a positive for some, but from our perspective, its wheelbase is quite short, the 8” deck could feel a bit narrow for those with bigger feet, and may just feel a bit small for the bigger rider in general. Landyachtz haven’t forgotten about you if you are a bigger rider, just check out the dinghy’s big brother, the Tugboat.

Overall, whether you’re looking for your first skateboard or are a seasoned pro and are looking to add another board to your quiver, this well designed lightweight board is designed to last, super soft smooth riding (can get fast downhill, watch out beginners), and well-rounded for cruising, commuting, park and tricks.

Landyachtz Dinghy Review: Worthy Buying?

• By Ryan Barnes

As we all are very well aware, longboarding is gaining a tremendous amount of popularity over social media and is captivating young enthusiasts into getting themselves to board over the last couple of months. It’s maintained its reputation of being a popular sport & a hobby for years if not decades, but as of now, the hype is on a whole other level!

What I prominently love about the sport is that apart from its aesthetics, it’s actually a really great way of working out and performing some really cool tricks, which is mainly why it’s so popular among youngsters.

I have received tens if not hundreds of requests in the past few months to curate an article reviewing Landyachtz Dinghy Longboard and share with you guys my personal experience. Just like any other product, even Landyachtz Dinghy has its own set of Pros & Cons, but out there, it’s a clutter of information, which can easily frighten & confuse any normal human being. 

But worry not, with the help of this Ultimate Review and Q&A Guide, I’ll be answering all of your main questions, basic to precise, and by the end, hopefully, all of your doubts would be 100% sorted. But first, let’s look into what the brand is and if it’s reliable in general. 

Apart from this, you can click here to check the list of best longboards to buy in 2021.

Landyachtz: Is it a Reliable Brand?

Landyachtz is a Canadian-based longboard manufacturing company founded by Michael Perreten and Thomas Edstrand, specializing in crafting longboards explicitly made for cruising, carving, and sliding. [1]

They have been around since 1997 and are one of the most loved brands all over the world. Landyachtz’s philosophy revolves around preserving their environment by using recyclable materials for maximized production efficiency- they use 100% recycled and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified wood.

I believe 2.5 decades is quite a long time to master a particular industry. Hence one can quickly tell that Landyachtz has refined and upgraded their manufacturing process over time. They’ve achieved absolute perfection towards their predefined goals about each longboard their craft. It’s not talent; it’s dedication, sheer will, and compassion.

I have been following Landyachtz for quite a while now, and I must say, it’s one of the most reliable brands in the market- from customer service to quality. Considering what I know, it is safe to say that Landyachtz is one of the most reliable brands out there who puts quality at its utmost priority- so you should never be worried about anything when it comes to Landyachtz.

Alongside Longboards, Landyachtz also manufactures longboard trucks, wheels, and even bearings. All of these products manufactured by the company are pretty much reliable and suitable for particular needs, however considering the fact that I almost never have to use most of their other products, I’m not a huge fan (Longboards are amazing tho!), but if you have such needs, you’re gonna love the brand.

Now that we’re done with understanding the brand, let’s hop into the specifications segment of this article.

Specifications of Landyachtz Dinghy

So basically, Landyachtz Dinghy comes in three different sizes selections to choose from- depending on what your height or age is (or whichever maybe)-

1) Length- 5 inches, Width- 8 inches, Wheelbase  size- 14.6 inches

2) Length- 26 inches, Width- 6.5 inches, Wheelbase size- 14 inches

3) Length- 24 inches, Width- 6.5 inches, Wheelbase size- 14 inches

If all these size selections seem to bewilder you, worry not. Let me sort this out for you real quick. If you’re purchasing this for a young rider, simply go for a smaller size of the board. Contrarily, an adult with average height or longer should consider longer sizes of the board. This is how it is. Simple, right?

Apart from the size of the board, its baseline specifications include-

• A Maple Deck of 7plys
• A Mellow Concave
• A Single kick Shape
• A Fine Landyachtz grip
• 7 inches TKP trucks
• 78a Fatty Hawg 63mm Wheels

Oh, & it also comes with a cool Honey Island Graphic that I personally liked a lot.

Landyachtz Dinghy Review: A Detailed Features of Each Segment

This board is a cruiser longboard that’s perfect for cruising and carving. It has a deck of seven-ply maple wood, which makes it really strong, durable, yet lightweight at an appreciable level. And because the craftsmanship by Landyachtz is as accurate as always, this product features all sorts of amazing specifications one can have on their mind while investing in such products.

Aside from being designed specifically to cruise and carve (which are both awesome), what I personally liked about this model was its design & graphics

Eye-Catching Graphic

The board features a crisp & modern graphic over the deck termed ‘Honey Island’- or you could likewise call it ‘Hawaiian Wave’ if you will- with blue colors dominating the background patterned with white waves.

As I have mentioned earlier, the graphic is what initially caught my attention, and that’s why I went in for this product.

Landyachtz Dinghy, in particular, comes with a mellow radial concave. What that means is that the concave isn’t that deep, but just about the right depth for a cruiser longboard- and it’s mellow enough to make you feel comfortable while cruising.

What I would like to mention is how smoothly the deck of this board flexes, which makes me love Landyachtz even more.

I’m all about boards with really flexible decks because they give an amazing feeling when one rides them. It just feels so smooth! And as always, there’s no compromise in quality here; since flexibility doesn’t come at any cost. 

The board provides a splendid grip to the rider, which literally means a rider can effortlessly maneuver the board and take turns. The response time of Dinghy is remarkable, which might sound a little critical to some beginner riders. However, once a person starts using it, they get the hang of it, and it rather feels phenomenal later on.

It’s a cruiser longboard that has just the right flex for cruising and carving. It is not too stiff, yet it does have enough give to offer riders an enjoyable experience from time to time when they’re on their way back home or something like that.

Considering the fact that it’s made out of maple, the deck feels beyond sturdy when compared with a normal bamboo deck, & I genuinely appreciate that. In addition, taking turns is smoother than ever!

However, some riders might find the board a little hard to control initially, considering that it’s pretty fast and agile in terms of its response time. It can be regarded as ‘hard to control,’ but I believe once a rider gets the hang of it, they WILL like the board a lot!

Landyachtz Dinghy has a single kick that offers riders an extra edge over other boards of this type. With its high degree of maneuverability and options to execute tricks, Landyachtz Dinghy is one hell of a board for those who love boarding on their own! Notice keenly; the board comes with a kick, which makes it amazingly seamless in terms of performing stunts and tricks.

It features the 78a Fatty Hawg 63mm wheels that are perfect for cruising & carving purposes. They’re anti-flat, so they can be ridden even when there’s no pavement or smooth surface around- like concrete or asphalt. It also helps if you don’t want your ride to get ruined by cracks in the ground! So yeah, it really does have all sorts of amazing specifications to offer everyone interested in purchasing a longboard.

When compared with other skateboards, Dinghy has noticeably larger wheels, yet, they’re relatively smaller when compared with fellow longboards. Indeed the size of the wheels is somewhat smaller, but that is what makes the Dinghy really different and provides further grip and control to the rider.

You must be wondering what changes would a rider feel while cruising the Landyachtz Dinghy compared to other regular longboards considering the size of the wheels is smaller here. So the simple answer would be, Dinghy would go relatively faster in general, but the top-speed would be somewhat hampered in the process, not to a great extent, but yeah, it precisely will be affected.

Considering the durometer of the wheels is 78A, I’d say a rider would feel comfort and softness while cruising on this longboard, and it also feels a lot less bumpy on the road than other longboards out there. [2]

In case, if you want to replace the wheels of this board, you can check out the list of best longboard wheels and choose the one that fits your need.

Coming pre-installed with Bear Spaceball bearings, I think the bearings were just about right. They’re ABEC-7, which will make the rider feel really smooth and relaxed while riding and enhance the overall riding experience.

For the record, many riders who try out Dinghy comment on it that they found it slower or somewhat not up to notch, mainly because of the bearings. I feel that too, and this is why I recommend a person looking to purchase this product first to give it a couple of rides, spend some miles on it, and then make the verdict about the bearings.

If you ever feel that you aren’t satisfied with the speed, WORRY NOT! The board also comes with spacers that are made out of a composite material, which is really useful when the rider is looking to change out their bearings. So this board is really capable of being modified and enhanced.

• Good Stability
• Functional Kicktail
• Lightweight and Durable
• Top-Notch Bearings
• Carves Amazingly
• Wheels quickly get dirty

Questions & Answers

Ah, we’ve discussed plenty of things about the board already, and even though I’m sure most of your doubts are already clarified, I would like to answer some of the most prominently asked & requested questions.

1. How much does Landyachtz Dinghy cost & is it Value For Money?

Well, honestly, I don’t prefer commenting on a board’s pricing. However, I can easily say that this is a Value For Money Product for all the value it provides, and as for the pricing, it’s relatively cheaper than other longboards Landyachtz has to provide.”

Now some of you might find it value for money; others might not. This is why I highly recommend you check it out on the internet, watch some videos, and try to learn as much as you can about the board before you place the order.

2. Is the Landyachtz Dinghy a suitable Longboard for downhill riding?

Yes, it is. Needless to say that Dinghy would be a perfect longboard for downhill riding. I suggest you use a higher durometer wheel, so the wheels are more resistant to wear and tear that is caused by braking on rough surfaces while going downhill .

In my experience of riding this board, it didn’t feel as great mainly because of the pre-installed bearings, so I had them changed as per my requirements, and Voila! It felt amazing afterward, and I loved my downhill riding experience.

3. What are the key features of Landyachtz Dinghy?

1) The Landyachtz Dinghy is a Cruiser Longboard that comes with 78A Durometer Wheels.

2) It has Bear Spaceball ABEC-07 bearings preinstalled for easy riding and smoothness.

3) The board measures 33 inches, which makes it suitable for riders of all sizes and skill levels (considering the weight & height, it has 3 size selections to choose from.)

4. What aftermarket attachments should I use to complement my board’s stance, particularly for my riding style?

Most beginner riders would find the board amazing from the very second they start riding it. Still, if you’ve ridden a longboard earlier and encountered some issues with this one, I’d say that it’s a great idea to get some Bearings with a higher ABEC rating as well as an appropriate set of wheels if you feel dissatisfied. 

5. Does the Landyachtz Dinghy have any flaws?

The dinghy has one flaw, and that is the bearings. I recommend you replace them with more suitable ones if you’re dissatisfied with the speed of your board. But, other than this little issue, it’s a pretty perfect longboard to ride around town or campus for all sorts of riders.

6. What is the Landyachtz Dinghy’s cruising speed?

The Landyachtz Dinghy is not the fastest board on the market. However, it’s one of those boards that can handle long distances with constant speed and agility. It might take some time to get used to this board if you’re a first-timer but don’t worry! Riders always love the cruisers for their stability and comfort.

7. What is the Landyachtz Dinghy’s best feature?

The board doesn’t have a single standout feature, but I can say with confidence that it handles well in different terrains, which makes this one of those boards suitable for all sorts of riders and riding styles! As I mentioned earlier, it also has an excellent downhill performance too, so there’s nothing to be worried about.

8. Is Landyachtz Dinghy a beginner-friendly longboard?

Rather than just giving my verdict on this question, I’d rather say, it totally depends. How new are you? Absolute beginner? Been doing this for some time now, but still a beginner? Something similar yet different? I don’t know, but I will try to specify it for as many riders as I can.

If you’re fairly familiar with skateboarding and you’ve ridden a skateboard for a while in the past, however, you’ve never tried a longboard, I believe you’re gonna love Dinghy as your first ever longboard.

But considering the fact that this longboard has a thing for being ‘too responsive,’ there are plenty of chances of falling for absolute beginners who are trying to ride a board for the first time ever. So, it definitely isn’t for absolute beginners, unless they’re confident enough about achieving appropriate balance and stability on the board.

There are many reasons why this board might not feel as pleasant as it really is for pure beginners, but I believe if a person purchases it, and gives it some time, they’re gonna love it once they get the hang of it. If you ask for my recommendation, however, I’d recommend you start off with something that carries wider trucks and has a more stable stance in general.

9. Why should I buy a Landyachtz Dinghy?

If you’re looking for an excellent cruiser longboard that can handle various terrains with ease and offer some of the best downhill performance on the market, then this is it! There are many other boards out there that have similar features as Landyachtz Dinghy, but none of them can beat it in terms of its versatility. I personally found it impressive and valuable for money mainly because it matched my requirements and preferences, so keep that in mind.

10. How are the wheel bites on a Dinghy?

Ah, unfortunately, Dinghy doesn’t come with wheel bites at all, and even though it wouldn’t be as much of an issue for most riders out there, I believe wheel bites should’ve been a part of the deal. It doesn’t make much difference. However, it depends. You might get a bite on the setup if you weigh just about as much as myself, which would be 140-160 lbs in general.

11. How does Landyachtz Dinghy feel when one stands on it?

It feels like standing on a wooden plank, it’s very stable and comfortable, and you’ll be able to feel the board’s response with your feet. As from what I experienced,  Landyachtz Dinghy has a really soft feeling. The board is grippy yet smooth.

So for beginner riders, I’d say the board feels really nice and not too hard for balance. However, if you’re an experienced rider who has ridden for years and is just switching over from skateboarding, then it’ll only take around ten minutes of riding this board before you start getting the hang of it. After that, they might feel like the board is a bit too soft, and it takes some time to get used to. 

It’s really about preference there. Which is why I always say don’t solely take my word for it. I insist you give it a try before you make the purchase. We never know what we might feel about a product later on. I felt comfortable standing on it, but maybe you don’t feel the same.

12. Is it possible to learn tricks on this longboard?

I taught myself how to do some basic tricks on this board, and I’m sure the learning process for you would be even easier. It’s a really nice longboard when it comes to teaching people about tricks because it’s lightweight and offers just enough stability that one can easily manipulate it.

As I knew how to perform tricks on a skateboard before I rode this board, I was able to start performing tricks very fast, however, if you’ve never tried tricks on a board, this might take some time, but I reassure you that you’re gonna enjoy the process.

13. What’s the maximum weight this longboard can handle?

I’m not too sure about that, but I assume it’ll be around 150 lbs. Dinghy is one of those boards which are suitable for a very wide range of riders in terms of their height and weight. It doesn’t really have any limitations when it comes to that, so you’ll definitely be able to find something out there worth your time.

I enjoyed cruising on it, be it downhill riding, or street longboarding. I weigh somewhere around 140-160lbs, so it’s safe to say that you shouldn’t face any weight-related balancing problems whatsoever if you weigh anywhere close to my weight.

14. What is the distance I can go with one set of pre-installed wheels on a Dinghy?

It’s hard to tell, maybe around 30 miles. It really depends on how you’re using it and what sort of terrain you’re taking it through. I’m not sure about what you’re going for, but if it’s something more on the extreme side like downhill riding or tricks, then I’d recommend getting new wheels.

So be aware of that before making your final decision, this longboard is amazing, but just like any other product, it must match your particular preferences for you to like it. Otherwise, you’ll simply call it a ‘bad product,’ even though it really isn’t.

15. What is Landyachtz Dinghy made out of?

Dinghy comes with a maple deck and bamboo rails as well as high-quality Canadian Maple Trucks. The trucks of  landyachtz dinghy  good because they don’t bend easily and offer excellent precision when turning around corners.

They also help to make the board more responsive at higher speeds which helps when doing slides etcetera… Some people might prefer longboards with aluminum trucks, so this seems like an issue depending on preference right here, in my opinion. It’s all about preference, as I usually speak.

I genuinely loved the built quality of this board, be it the deck, attachments, or other components. But the only reason I had to make some changes on mine was mainly because it wasn’t giving me the feels I expected, and that’s totally okay. No product can be 100% compatible with your preferences, and you might need to make some aftermarket adjustments as well.

16. What is that one thing you just didn’t like about the Landyachtz Dinghy?

I honestly appreciate the fact that there’s actually only just a single factor that was affecting my experience of riding the longboard , which, if you guessed right, were the bearings. They didn’t feel as great, but I’m thankful they were modifiable. So as soon as I realized I do not like them as much, I got them changed, and now I have zero issues with the product.

17. Who is this Longboard mainly designed for?

I’d say it’s great for kids, considering the smaller size and the fact that it’s a mini-cruiser, for someone who likes mini-cruisers, if you wish to have a portable board, or if you only need it for smaller riders. It’s certainly not for long rides, performing tons of tricks, covering longer distances, or people who have bigger feet. I hope you understood that.

Final Verdict: Should You Buy Kryptonics Dinghy Longboard?

Phew, there you go with answers to most of your questions. I hope you came to the appropriate conclusion about the board as you read the article and came to the conclusion segment down here. However, it is imperative that you perform your own research before making the decision to purchase a longboard.

The Landyachtz Dinghy may be perfect for you, but it all depends on how well-suited it will be with what you are looking for in a board. If this article has helped answer any questions or given some insight into which type of board would work best for you, please take note and write down these important points so that when/if you go out to buy one later today (or tomorrow), they’ll help guide your decision process. I hope my words have been helpful! Thank YOU for reading!

By James Mason

Our Verdict:

CHECK PRICE

• Compact and portable
• Designed to provide versatility
• Stable ride
• Endless options to choose from
• Good value for money
• Perfect for cruising
• Attractive deck graphics
• Uncomfortable for bigger sized riders
• Maple wood soaks in water
• Not suitable for beginners

If you are in the market for a compact longboard to cruise on, the Landyachtz Dinghy is worth considering. If you wondered why......well, the dinghy was designed to provide a combination of features that make for the ideal cruiser longboard. 

From an excellent build quality and convenient deck design to high quality specs on the trail, this is just a fraction of what you get from this great-looking board. 

Not to mention that the manufacturer has been in the game for more than 20 years, boasting a reputation for producing top notch products with superior functionality. 

So, why do some people consider the Landyachtz Dinghy as the best cruiser board in the market? Let us explore that in the following in-depth review of the Landyachtz Dinghy longboard. 

 Landyachtz Dinghy Review

The Dinghy was built to be the go-to cruiser for riding through the city streets and around campus. It boasts a versatile functionality that allows you to do almost anything you want. 

To proclaim the Dinghy as the perfect city board, the manufacturer designed it with a small and lightweight frame to enhance its maneuverability. Despite the small size, the board is equipped with longboard wheels to bring about versatility over different riding surfaces. 

So, let us delve deeper into the features in this Landyachtz Dinghy review:

Source: landyachtz.com 

The Landyachtz Dinghy is available in three different sizes to suit smaller riders. These include:

Landyachtz Mini Dinghy 24:  24-inch length, 6.5-inch width, 14-inch wheelbase

Landyachtz Mini Dinghy 26 : 26-inch length, 6.5-inch width, 14-inch wheelbase

Landyachtz Dinghy 28:  28.5-inch length, 8-inch width, 14.6-inch wheelbase

Apart from the deck size, all the Dinghy boards use practically the same kind of components. Another aspect you’d like to note is that there have been more than 20 editions of the Dinghy over the years. The ones I’ve listed above are just the main sizes you’ll find the boards in.

While the major difference between the boards lies in the graphic design art, some have a small variation in size. For instance, the Dinghy Handstand is slightly bigger than the rest with dimensions of 29 x 8.5 x 14.4 inches for the length, width, and wheelbase respectively.

Some people find themselves struggling to choose the ideal board with so many options on the table. Overall, you’d be wise to go with the bigger version with a graphic design of your preference if you are of standard height. The smaller sized boards are better suited for a kid or smaller rider. 

 After all, all the Dinghies come with similar components. All the wheels, trucks, and bearings are produced by Landyachtz and deliver the same type of quality performance. Let us review the individual parts and see what their impact on the ride is:

One of the most praised features on the Dinghy has to be the deck! It is made out of strong and durable 7-ply maple wood to make for a stable performance on the trail. When it comes to size, the Dinghy comes in sizes of 24-28.5” x 6.5-8.5” x 14-15” as earlier mentioned in this Landyachtz Dingy review. The unit is generally short and the wheelbase is small.

The maple board on the Dinghy is pretty sturdy and has no flex, which is something you’ll need to get used to if you’ve been cruising on a flexible board. The maple is much stiffer than a bamboo deck. 

You might assume that a flexible board would be a more suitable choice but that’s not the case for the Dinghy board. Testing the board tells you it was built for fun. The sturdy deck even allows you to do ollies, flip tricks, and maintain your stability on rough riding surfaces.

While other materials tend to be a little lighter, they are also limiting to the rider. 

 Grip Tape

A notable feature that you don’t find on all boards in the market is the clear grip tape. This helps to keep you stable when you stand on the board, ensuring that you remain on your twos when the ride gets wobbly. 

Landyachtz used high-quality tape on the Dinghy, and this can last for years. While the tape offers enough grip to keep your feet planted on the board, it still lets you move your feet around comfortably when handling the ride. 

But not all versions come with clear tape on the deck, and the Dinghy Summit is just one of the exceptions. 

The board is also designed with wheel wells that help to prevent wheel bite. These prove to come in handy for riders who prefer loose tracks and deep carves. You won’t have to worry about the wheels touching your skateboard. 

 Shape

The Dinghy’s deck is built in a mellow radial concave shape. The side of the board is slightly elevated to make the Dinghy more responsive, which makes it a decent choice for pulling off tricks. 

But you should note that the concave design is not for everyone. This is because it tends to eat into the stability you get on an entirely flat deck like a penny board, although it’s a nice design for playful riders. 

Furthermore, the shape enables you to perform sliding movements much more easily, and you’ll appreciate that the concave design is perfectly balanced on the Landyachtz Dinghy.

The board also features a directional deck, which means both the nose and tail are elevated. The nose is a little pointier than the tail while the shape of the tail lets you ollie or hop over curbs and patches of grass. It helps you to maintain your balance as you lean back. 

The kicktail ensures that you can hop curbs with relative ease as you cruise while the soft wheels make for a pleasant landing. They don’t bounce a lot like on some boards. Another benefit of the kick tail is that it allows you to perform kick turns if you are up to it. 

Given the stiffness of the deck and the shorter wheelbase, you might experience some wobbliness when cruising around at top speeds. 

 Trucks

The Dinghy is equipped with 105mm traditional Polar Bear trucks, featuring enlarged bushing seats for enhanced turnability. This is relatively narrow for a truck, which may not be as stable as a larger truck. However, it is expected given the small size of the board.

Source: landyachtz.com

One attribute of Polar Bear trucks is their high tolerance level to minimize slop. Meanwhile, the hangers have been machine faced to boost strength, and axels heat-treated and reinforced to make sure they keep spinning straight. 

The baseplates of the trucks come with 8 holes to let you customize your Dinghy by leveraging the new school or old school hole pattern. The 0.25-inch risers on the Bear trucks also help to reduce the likelihood of wheel bite. 

Some riders claim the bushings are a little bit squeaky when you start to use the board, but that’s pretty common with new bushings. The noise tends to stop when you finally break into them. Anyway, you can upgrade to higher quality bushings if required.

 Bushings

A closer review of the bushings on the Dinghy reveals that the top bushing is cone-shaped whereas the bottom one is barrel-shaped. The variation in shape offers different qualities while riding. The combination of the two adds stability, as well as maneuverability to the ride.

For perspective, bushings are typically shaped differently to suit a certain style of riding or improve the ride in some kind of way. For instance, cone-shaped bushings enable the rider to make quick turns and other agile maneuvers whereas barrel-shaped bushings help you to maintain stability, particularly during long turns. 

As you start to ride your newly acquired Dinghy, you might want to consider changing the bushings, depending on the weight of the rider . 

 Wheels

The Landyachtz Dinghy comes with 63mm Hawgs Fatty wheels- a brand that Landyachtz owns. The Hawgs wheels make use of proprietary urethane and are tested rigorously on downhill slopes under freeriding conditions. 

This makes for a superior quality of wheels that most Dinghy owners swear by. These are also the same kind of wheels that Landyachtz uses on higher-end freeride models of longboards it manufactures. 

 Small but Smooth

I my opinion, the 63mm soft wheels are slightly small when you consider the size of the Dinghy and the fast turning Bear trucks it comes with. However, they deliver great roll speed that I didn’t expect at their size. 

Their 78A durometer feels kind of squishy but remains firm when you are riding. Overall, the Fatty wheels strike a sweet spot between rolling smoothly on various types of terrains and breaking into slides easily. 

The wheels are smooth and you barely feel the bumps even when cruising at high speeds. These remain steady when running over all kinds of surfaces. Whether you’re cruising on a sidewalk with cracks or metal chunks; they just won’t get chipped. 

 Grippy yet Slidy

The small size of the wheels mixed with the proportionally wide 50mm contact patch makes them controllable for slides and they still manage to offer just enough grip. Their rounded lips also help to significantly support kicking into slides. 

The other feature to note about the Hawgs wheels is the offset positioning found on the wheel cores. The core is placed between the inner and center of the wheel instead of the side-set or center-set cores. 

The offset positioning leads to a balanced combination of grip and slide. The wide and supportive cores on the Fatty wheels makes the longboard ideal for sliding and performing tricks on the Dinghy when carving through streets. 

 Bearings

The Dinghy uses Bear Spaceball bearings. These are not your typical generic, low-quality components. The bearings are pretty decent and help to enhance the performance of the board. They have built-in spacers that help the wheels to stay aligned and wiggle free. 

This allows you to change the wheels much more easily and tighten the axles to your preference without interfering with the setup. The result is that the Bear Spaceball bearings enable your wheels to roll for hours on end without getting loose and can cope with popping tricks.

While the consensus among Dinghy owners is that the bearings are quite good, you can still decide to upgrade to better ones if you’re looking for something with more speed. 

How Does the Landyachtz Dinghy Perform?

The Dinghy performs impressively on all kinds of surfaces. It boasts a versatile design that allows it to hold its own in the city streets, as well as the on rougher off-road trails. Let us look at what the board is good for?

 Is the Landyachtz good for Cruising?

The Landyachtz Dinghy is a great choice if you’re looking for a cruiser! In fact, it was designed specifically for cruising through city streets and sidewalks in urban areas. The small size and overall design of the wheels allow the board to accelerate pretty fast yet still manage to roll smoothly.

The short length of the board allows for enhanced maneuverability and agile turnability, enabling you to swerve in and out of crowds with relative ease. Don’t worry about the occasional potholes and curbs you’ll come across on the road; the kick tail design of the Dinghy makes it easy for you to hop over obstacles . With this board, you can look forward to a full urban commuter experience in whichever city you find yourself in.  This is just what the manufacturer envisioned when designing the Landyachtz Dinghy!

 Is the Landyachtz good for Freeriding?

The Dinghy wasn’t exactly designed for freeriding. Nevertheless, you can still pull it off and enjoy yourself while at it. Generally, freeriding boards are notably longer than the Landyachtz Dinghy. So, if you’re buying the longboard primarily for freeriding , I recommend you look elsewhere for a more suitable option.

But if you just want to experiment with the Dinghy, you may manage to pull off some nice slides. With the concave design of the top, sliding becomes easy as you can lock your feet. Furthermore, the Fatty Hawgs wheels won’t prevent you from sliding. 

 Is the Landyachtz Dinghy good for Pumping?

The Dinghy can be used for pumping. However, it does necessitate experience and you’ll only be able to perform the maneuver if you know what you’re doing. While the Polar Bear trucks may not be the ideal choice for pumping, you can still pull it off with the right experience. 

 Can it Perform Tricks?

The Landyachtz Dinghy allows you to performs tricks such as ollies, manuals, kickflips, as well as a bunch of other old school moves. Despite being capable of pulling off more technical tricks that a skateboard would, I wouldn’t recommend the Dinghy as a go-to option. 

This is because the board wasn’t designed for tricks’; you’ll be better off going for a regular skateboard. Only experienced skateboarders can perform tricks with the Dinghy, so don’t take your board to the skatepark if you don’t have the skills. 

Admittedly, the Dinghy can easily handle very tight turns and carves, which comes in handy for pools/bowls, but the Hags Fatty wheels are very soft. You may be able to do slides, manuals, and plenty of other tricks but they won’t be as perfect as they should be. 

Unlike regular skateboards, the stock wheels on the Dinghy are big and soft, which allows for smoother rolling but landing the trick might prove to be slightly unstable. Riding a bowl is possible but you’d still be better off with an alternative setup meant for that purpose. 

 Is the Landyachtz Dinghy good for Riding on Rough Roads?

The Dinghy rides perfectly on rough roads. It is fitted with large Hawgs wheels that have an easy time rolling over stones, twigs, small rocks, and other debris on the road. Although it was designed for cruising around the city streets, you can still have a fun time with it on the off-road tracks. 

However, you still need to get acclimated to the board before you take it on the rough terrains, unless you want to be left with egg on your face. 

 Downhill Riding?

When you review the setup of the Landyachtz Dinghy, it is easy to conclude that the board isn’t suitable for downhill riding. The package is relatively small and its narrow trucks will get unstable when you achieve the high speeds associated with downhill riding. 

The wheelbase is also small and does not favor you downhill. A smaller wheelbase reduces your stability, which is not something you want on a downhill slope. Furthermore, you can’t reach the type of speeds you can achieve while riding a downhill longboard. 

After all, city riding typically doesn’t involve a lot of hills, so the design of the Dinghy doesn’t embrace downhill riding. 

 On the flip side, the stiff maple construction of the board, as well as the Hawgs Fatty wheel, can allow you to catch some speed downhill as you maintain your balance. Additionally, the mellow radial concave shape ensures that your feet will be planted securely when moving at a fast speed. 

Still, it comes with a level of risk you wouldn’t want to take . There are much better boards available for downhill riding. The Landyachtz Dinghy is more suited for cruising. 

 The Dinghy is the Perfect Commuter Board

The Landyachtz Dinghy features a compact build that you can easily carry around whenever you’re not riding it. It will comfortably fit under your arm or you can strap it on your backpack for easy portability. 

The 24” version of the board is small enough to fit inside the bigger backpacks in the market, allowing you to go with it practically anywhere your schedule takes you. This means you’ll have no problem hopping onto public transport when you grow tired of skateboarding. 

 Is the Dinghy Too Small for You?

Looking at the Dinghy, it is easy to see that it’s a lot smaller than the majority of boards in the market. You may be wondering whether it will accommodate you if you decide to invest in one. 

Well, it all comes down to two aspects: rider size (shoe size and height) and the kind of riding you plan on using the board for.

If your shoe size is above average, there is a possibility you’ll have a hard time getting comfortable on the board. The deck is only 8” wide, so you’ll want to try standing on the board first to see if it can accommodate your foot size. 

This also means that on tight turns, you will experience a level of instability since your heels or toes will be sticking out. 

 Considering the short length of the Dinghy, taller riders will have a hard time finding a good stance. But if you are under 6’4”, it shouldn’t be a challenge for you. Overall, it’s a matter of preference. 

There are tall riders who shine on small boards and shorter riders who ride on large boards; find what works for you! 

When it comes to the type of riding, the Landyachtz Dinghy was meant for cruising. The small design comes in handy when you have to weave in and out of crowds in the streets and the kicktail allows you to hop over obstacles on the ground. 

So, don’t buy the longboard to go free or downhill riding!

 The Landyachtz Dinghy is not a Board for Amateurs

The small size of the board and the responsive trucks makes the Dinghy very twitchy. It is designed for agile city riding and slashing. The board doesn’t offer the kind of stability a beginner skateboarder would require. It turns relatively faster when you lean and this can bring about major stability issues for a learner. 

If you want a more suitable option for a beginner, find a unit with a wider deck, longer wheelbase, wider trucks, larger wheels, harder bushings, etc. All these factors help to make the longboard less twitchy and keep you steady when you ride. 

Also, look for a board with a drop deck design ensures you are able to ride closer to the ground, resulting in improved stability as you learn to kick push.

 Multiple Designs for the Landyachtz Dinghy

If you are looking to get a Landyachtz Dinghy, you’ll be glad to know that there are numerous designs of the board for you to choose from, in fact, more than twenty versions of the Dinghy in the market and three different sizes. 

With such variety, you can rest assured that there is a Dinghy somewhere that fits your preferences. In case you’re wondering what your options are, some examples you may be interested in include the Emboss and Beach Party, which are quite popular with riders.

The Dinghy Emboss comes with particularly sober graphics and is a top seller in the company’s mini-cruiser category. Other popular Dinghy models that you may want to consider include the Dinghy Turbo, Burning Sky, and Summit.

 What Did We Like?

The Landyachtz features a versatile design that combines the feel of a longboard with the agility and controllability of a skateboard. It is pretty stiff with no flex and the medium concave deck allows you to pull off tricks on the board. The kicktail also ensures that you can do moves such as ollies and manuals.

The Hawgs Fatty wheels used on the Dinghy enable you to slide easily. 

Even though the board was built for cruising, you can still manage to ride downhill with it if you have some experience.

The board is also compact and portable, allowing you to carry it pretty much anywhere you want to go. The smaller versions of the board can even fit inside a large backpack when you are not riding the skateboard. 

The Dinghy is also available in more than two versions with three different sizes. This provides you with endless variety to choose from, ensuring that there’s something for everyone.

Thanks to the versatile design of the longboard, you’ll have a fun time riding it on the city streets but you won’t have a problem riding on the rough off-road trails if you have to.

For a board that costs less than $200, the Dinghy boasts a host of high-performance features ensuring you get a bang for the buck when you buy one!

What Didn’t We Like?

If you have bigger than average-size feet, you might have a hard time riding on the smaller deck of the Dinghy. Tall people may also struggle to find a comfortable stance on the board. 

The maple wood used on the deck is not adequately water-resistant and tends to soak in water over time, resulting in a heavy skateboard.

The Landyactz Dinghy is not suitable for beginners who have no experience in skateboarding. It is best fit for intermediate of pro riders. 

Pros and Cons

• Wheel wells
• Can perform some tricks

Is the Landyachtz dinghy good for beginners?

If you are a beginner with some skateboarding experience but never tried riding a longboard before, then a Dinghy shouldn't pose much trouble for you. However, if you are completely new to skateboards, you shouldn’t choose the Dinghy for your first skateboard ride. It is just not stable enough for a beginner rider.

 Is the Landyachtz dinghy good?

The Landyactz is a remarkable cruiser and a favorite in the market. It comes with a top notch design that combines an array of quality features to deliver superior performance on all kinds of surfaces. Furthermore, it offers great value for the money considering that you can get for less than $200.

 Can you Ollie on a dinghy?

You can pull off an ollie on the Dinghy if you know how to! The stiff deck and the kicktail design allow you to perform an ollie without much trouble. You won’t need to use your hands to get the board in the air; the kicktail enables you to pop up the board with your feet!

 Can you do tricks on a Landyachtz?

The design of the Landyachtz lets you pull off a couple of tricks if you have the right experience. Thanks to the kicktail on the board, you’ll be able to perform tricks such as manuals, kickflips, and ollies. 

However, the wheels on the board are a little heavier and stickier, so the board may react slower when trying to do an ollie. As such you’ll only be able to perform basic tricks with the Landyachtz; not the complicated skatepark tricks!

 Conclusion

From the above Landyactz Dinghy review, I can conclude that the board is an ideal choice for those looking for a mini cruiser that is compact and light enough to carry anywhere, and agile enough to perform tricks yet stable enough to offer a comfortable ride.

The board boasts a versatile design that mixes a host of top notch features and components to deliver the ultimate cruiser experience. It is the perfect choice to swerve through the crowded city streets as you commute to school.

Unfortunately, you’ll only realize the joy of riding the Dinghy if you have some skateboarding experience. So, whether you are looking for a skateboard to cruise, commute, or simply have fun with, look no further than the Landyachtz Dinghy !

Top 2 Landyachtz Dinghy: Good Longboard for Beginner

In our landyachtz dinghy review, we will discuss the top 2 best landyachtz dinghy boards. There’s nothing more satisfying than getting the moves to a Sigma Flip perfect each time. And to do this you’ll need the best board out there. The greatest boards for skating not only handle weight well but also score high in the looks department.

Considering everything from the tail shape, wheel flares to the deck, lightness, and color of it, we’ve reviewed the top 2.  

So if you’re in a pinch and can’t decide what might be up your alley, go ahead and check out our landyachtz dinghy review to find out just what you need. Who knows? You might find your best board yet.  

 Let’s dive into business.

What Is The Landyachtz Dinghy Good For?

Not convinced whether the dinghy actually puts the ‘D’ in ‘dope’ yet? Here are six reasons that might make you change your mind.

• Cruising with Style

Looking for something to impress that cute neighbor with? The dinghy is your answer! There are few things out there as swoon-worthy as a hot-shot skater boy with a dinghy. The tail and deck design of these boards allow cruising on it like one meant to specialize in tricks and flip-kicks.

• Jack of All Terrains

The hawg wheels of these cruisers are 63mm/78a. That means they can be used to ride over sand, rocks, or any rough and muddy terrain with ease. Uneven surfaces or loose tiles and cracks will pose no danger to you.

Going green is definitely the new hip thing. We stand an eco-friendly brand, so why not choose one of these boards? Their decks are made of maple wood which, is obviously much better than cheap old plastic. 

• Dope Manuals

Let’s just be real- we love manuals. These boards are exceptionally great for manuals since their tails are generous and the nose is upturned just enough. So, you can manual your way around campus without risking a fall.

• Tough Build

In terms of skating, you don’t want something too light or too heavy. This brand gets it just right with their ply maple construction and sturdy deck design. For the best carving clearance, the wheels cut into the deck perfectly.

Paint jobs on these don’t chip easily either. On top of it all, you won’t need any spacers or pesky speed rings either.

• It’s Fun-tastic!

If you’re the type to hang out in the skating parks with the buddies on weekends, this will definitely amplify the fun. The snappy and sketchy turns of these boards due to their short wheelbase give the skaters a fun-tastic experience.  

Top 2 Landyachtz Dinghy

Finding a skateboard that vibes with your style is not easy. And the way stores are flooded now with all kinds of boards, it’s always a good idea to have some of the product knowledge up your sleeve. So let’s jump into the reviews.

1. Landyachtz Dinghy 28″ Complete Skateboard 

Buy On Amazon

Check Price On Walmart

Special Feature:

• LIGHT AND PORTABLE
• TOP-NOTCH COMPONENTS
• NOSE AND TAIL
• MINI WHEEL FLARES
• Wheel size: 60.0 millimeters

If you’re looking for something that gives the feel of a longboard but has the looks and control of a regular cruiser, then this is your best bet. It’s the ultimate form-meets-functionality package.

In fact, the engraved wood design on this and artwork make it worthy to be put on display. You might consider getting two in the long run.

The first pro is that the board is lightweight. If you’re used to a longboard already, you’ll be smooth as butter on this one.

It handles weight superbly well and it won’t matter if you’re 100 or 200 pounds because doing weird and dumb moves on it won’t break it in half. Since this has slight wheel flares you’ll get wheel clearance to the max level.

Besides, the deck is made of maple wood which is the best and go-to material for all the good cruisers out there right now. Forget flimsy plastics and wasteful products that do more harm than good.

Wood provides better durability and texture while your shoulders and feet get better balance too. For stashing in small bags or trunks of cars, the 28.5-inch size is ideal (which is why it is way up in any list of the best landyachtz longboard review .

As expected from this company, the board has great construction as it used top-notch material. The tail on this has just the right amount of pop. Its tail shape with the big and soft wheels makes it suitable for almost any terrain.

Those broke-down streets with all the loose tiles and gnarly cracks won’t seem like a challenge when you’re riding this beauty.

• It’s suitable for all terrains
• Small, lightweight, and portable
• Comes in cool landyachtz designs with wood engravings
• The deck is made of 7 maple plywood
• The nose offers enough space for shuvits or nose manuals with ease
• Original wheels have some wobble on unpaved roads.
• A bit small for newbies to learn.

2. Landyachtz ATV Skateboard: Good For Beginners! 

Special feature:

• Material: Adult
• Deck Length: 30 Inches
• Color: 30″ – Third Eye
• Wheel Material: Polyurethane
• Item Weight: 3 Pounds
• Age Range: Adult

This is one of the latest series from the Landyachtz skateboard line which just came out in 2020. It’s a great all-around board perfect for cruising and comes with excellent artwork and designs. Since it’s got bigger wheels with a standard deck size, you can basically do anything with it.

Be it on the street or a skating park; this board will shine through. It’s an effortless ride thanks to the bushings, hawg wheels, and trucks being amazing as is. You don’t have to worry about tweaking with them or changing anything anytime soon. It’s a tall board and you can have it with rails on when you buy it. 

While the tallness makes the board have more distance when traveling to the ground, the 32-inch deck and slight curve of the tail makes up for it. It gives good enough pop for tricks and flips too. You can get away with some manuals and easy moves smoothly.

On the downside, it doesn’t have a cushion grip. This might cause some limits as to how far you can take your trick fantasies on this board.

But the best thing about this board is the rad skeletal design at the back. Paint smears, scratches, or mud won’t make it any less appealing. In fact, it’ll add to the rogue vibe of the overall cruiser board. So, in conclusion, if a high-quality cruiser that’s also a people pleaser is what you’re aiming to get, that’ll be just perfect.

• It’s got a high-quality build.
• Good for tricks, park obstacles, and manuals, and great for cruising.
• Wheels, bushings, and other parts are perfect as is
• The tail has plenty of pop.
• Cool artwork makes it stand out from the crowd.
• Doesn’t have a cushion grip.
• Tall board so landing takes some extra effort and skill.

Before You Buy What to Look For?

While we’re on the subject, let’s talk about the things you should keep an eye out for when sealing the deal on a skateboard. Is it the right style for your taste? Are the wheels the best type? Do you need gripe tape to cover it up, and will the paint chip after a while? Here’s our take on it.

You should know how to ride a landyachtz dinghy .

Strong Wheels

Go for the ones with strong wheels. They’ll not only last long but let you cruise with ease on unpaved roads. Wheels that are made for all-terrain use are double the fun riding on compared to regular wheels.

Deck Material

Secondly, be sure to check out what product the deck’s made of. Nowadays, maple wood is what people tend to reach for. Plastics are so yesterday with all the disadvantages. Besides, ply maples don’t cost all that much as you’d expect.

Does it have a good truck? Flow tech ones are in hype now as they are designed to provide smoothness and flexibility at the same time. Boards with flow tech can be used for both skating and (minus the wheels) surfing .

Specialties

What are the special features of the board? Does it have a non-slip deck that allows you to stay on no matter what? Customizable settings are super cool, too, since they allow more versatility by letting the user set the board according to their height and weight.

Another specialty you should consider checking is the tail shape, as it determines how good it’ll be for flips and tricks.

Artwork and Design

While some might argue that the design doesn’t matter, we beg to differ. The brighter the color, the more it’ll have you stand out in the crowd. Besides, a design that fits your personality will give you confidence on the track.

Landyachtz Atv vs Dinghy: Which is Right for You?

About rostov-on-don.

Rostov-on-Don is a port city and the administrative centre of Rostov Oblast and the Southern Federal District of Russia. From ancient times, the area around the mouth of the Don River has held cultural and commercial importance. Ancient indigenous inhabitants included the Scythian, Sarmat, and Savromat tribes. It was the site of Tanais, an ancient Greek colony, Fort Tana, under the Genoese and Fort Azak in the time of the Ottoman Empire.

The Best Of Rostov-on-Don

Are you a rostov-on-don kosher establishment or tour operator, jewish history, poi & kosher establishments in rostov-on-don.

Rostov is the capital of Southern Russia, with a population of close to 15,000 Jews. Prior to WWII it was a thriving hub of Jewish life. Tragically, during the war it was also the site of the worst mass execution of Jews in Russia, where over 20,000 Jews perished over the course of two horrific days. Today the community is springing back to life, with one of the most active youth groups in Russia, a Jewish day school, an overnight camp, a dynamic women's club, a busy humanitarian aid service, and new programs every year.

Satellite images emerge of oil depot ablaze in Rostov Oblast after drone attack – photos

Skhemy (Schemes), an investigative journalism project by Radio Liberty in Ukraine, has released satellite images revealing the consequences of a drone attack on an oil refinery in Azov in Russia's Rostov Oblast on the night of 17-18 June. The fire was still burning the following afternoon.

Source: Skhemy , with reference to satellite images provided by Planet Labs

Details: The images, taken at 14:30 Kyiv time, show the fire still raging in and around the oil depot, but it is difficult to assess the extent of the damage caused to the refinery since visibility is restricted due to the smoke.

The oil depot that was hit belongs to Azovprodukt. Up to 60,000 tonnes of oil products pass through this Russian terminal every month, and the tanks blazing as a result of the Ukrainian drone attack can hold up to 30,000 cu m of oil products at one time.

The Russian Defence Ministry has not commented on the attack. However, the governor of Rostov Oblast reported that tanks containing oil products had caught fire as a result of a drone attack in Azov.

Background:

Overnight drone attacks on 17-18 June caused fires in fuel storage tanks containing petroleum products in the city of Azov, Rostov Oblast. Russian Telegram channels reported that locals had heard five explosions shortly beforehand.

An Ukrainska Pravda source at the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) said SSU drones had attacked Azovprodukt’s Rostov oil depots and a branch of Donnefteprodukt in the city of Azov, which taken together contain 22 fuel tanks, on the night of 17-18 June.

Dinghy Classic Fender – Moon

The Dinghy has been the cornerstone of our cruiser lineup for nearly 20 years. We took our classic Dinghy shape and added generous fenders to the deck so you can ride with no fear of wheelbite. This is the monster truck of cruisers, fast and grippy with the best ability to cruise over rough and beat up pavement. The staple for anyone looking to do some high-speed cruising while at the same time keeping the board portable and easy to play around with. This board will spice up your commutes and keep you rolling for longer cruises.

DESCRIPTION

The Moon graphic is created by our in-house art team and quickly became a favorite of the crew here at Landyachtz. At 28.5″ long and 8″ wide, it’s an agile city cruiser that can go where many boards can’t. The wheel flares create clearance for bigger wheels, also act as reference points for your feet so that you never have to look down at the board when you want to readjust your foot positioning. The 105mm Polar Bear traditional kingpin trucks are fitted to the deck which provide a beautiful mixture of stability and responsiveness. The Classic Dinghy is pressed with 7 plies of high-quality Canadian maple.

Polar Bear 105mm

Ideal for the mini cruiser that every skater needs in their quiver. The 105mm Polar Bears are strong, agile, and ready to grip the tightest turns. Sold in pairs. The harder the bushings, the more stable the ride but that results in less agility – our Dinghy, for example, comes with 88a bushings.

72mm Plow Kings

Sometimes you just need to be able to plow through whatever life throws at you, and the 72mm Plow Kings are the perfect wheel to help you do that. Big, wide and poured in a super gushy 78a urethane formula, these wheels are the perfect upgrade for your longboard set up and will roll over cracks and road debris with ease.

 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.
