Longboard decks
Like their name implies, longboard decks are much longer
than a normal skateboard. Skaters typically prefer the speed and fluidity
that a longer deck allows, but the size also makes it difficult to perform
street tricks like ollies or kick flips.

Longboard decks are bent differently depending on the style of riding.
Bent-up shaped boards (when looked at from the side) have “camber”
while bent-down decks have “rocker”. Riders who prefer camber
like their boards bouncier and responsive, but racers generally like
boards with rocker because they feel cradled while maneuvering through
turns at high speeds.
