The Five Most Amazing Cruiser Skateboard Shapes This Spring

Image via Complex Original

Last year, Deathwish skateboards released the 40oz. Low Life skateboard cruiser, and since then, cruiser deck shapes have been going off. Skate companies are using the oversize template to push their "design skills" and sense of humor/horror, and everyone is having a great time. Click on the gallery thumbnails above to see the 5 most craze cruiser boards available now to add to your quiver. #nomongo #seeyouoncampus

5. Deathwish Greco Shank Cruiser

Size: 7.75" X 33.5"

Over the past few years, Deathwish has made some of the most unique and entertaining cruiser shapes. Their latest offering is slightly more criminal. Jim Greco's weapon-shaped “Shank Cruiser” comes packed in police evidence bag. Skate or die.

4. Foundation Corey Duffel Gravedigger Cruiser

Size: 8.375" X 32.75"

Foundation is one of the first companies to flex a cutout into their deck’s design. The spade-shaped nose and handled tail complete the graphic theme of this shape. Carry this cruiser like a shovel to class, or, says the Duffman, "Shred some curbs and loot a tomb with the gravedigger deck." All good either way, but the fact that it’s endorsed by Corey Duffel might be a deal breaker for anyone who doesn't shop at Zumiez.

3. Cliché Bombhill Cruiser

Size: Size: 7.9" X 31.9"
While the shape is not as craze as their amusing asymmetrical Baguette Cruiser from last year, Cliché's Bombhill Cruiser appropriately ignites. The French skate company inserted five flintstones into the tail that spark when tapped at high speeds. Light one up today.

2. Toy Machine Sect Coffin Cruiser

Size: 8.125" X 32.25"

Another morbidly shaped cruiser for this spring season. Goth kids unite with Ed Templeton's “Sect” character well-past rigor mortis. Autopsies show this deck is meant for ripping. "Glenn Danzig bought some to do push-ups on," says Templeton.

1. Quartersnacks Snackman Cruiser

Size: 8" X 28"
Quartersnacks, New York's skateboarding independent media powerhouse, brings you the cruise-able version of its Jeezy Snackman mascot. Along with its sweet-tooth appeal, the Snackman Cruiser shape is quite the aerodynamic feat. Check the design specks from engineer William USA. Unfortunately due to high demand, this small-run edition is now sold out.
