ALL COMPLETES
Shop your complete skateboard, cruiser skateboard, longboard or surf skate at Stay_K online skate shop. For a "normal" skateboard, to look for ready-to-ride pre-built completes, means that either you're a beginner or on a budget. This may be the same for a cruiser skateboard, too. On the other hand, for a longboard or surf skate, it's the most common to find pre-built completes. What these mean? For complete skateboard and cruiser you can set up your own custom by choosing each part individually from the many choices we have. The benefit of setting up your own is that you get to choose exactly, for each skate part (deck,wheels,bearings etc.), the specifications you prefer or like to skate with. This is the main reason that a custom complete skateboard, instead of a pre-built one, is considered pro-grade. To do so, nevertheless, you need to have that extra knowledge you get from experience, trial and / or research. At Stay_K, we're always ready to assist our customers to set up their own complete skateboard or cruiser, even if they're just starting. If you wish to proceed that way, please use our Contact page to reach out to us. Overall, each of these four categories of completes (Complete Skateboard, Cruiser Skateboard, Longboard, Surf Skate) serves a different purpose and skating style.

COMPLETE SKATEBOARDS, CRUISERS, LONGBOARDS and SURF SKATES at STAY_K online Skate Shop
The pre-built ready-to-ride complete skateboards are considered the best choice for beginners and for a more budget-friendly choice, compare to setting up a custom complete by choosing all the parts individually. Same as in every skate shop around the world, pre-built completes aren't considered pro-grade (mainly because you can't choose each part separately to your likes). Although at Stay_K, as a skater-owned skate shop, we make sure the feedback we get for our pre-built completes is always amazing. Make your first push on the right steps with a complete skateboard from Stay_K.
If a "normal" skateboard's main purpose (with its deck shape, wheels style etc...) is for doing tricks, then a Cruiser's purpose is to take you places, as the name indicates. Cruiser Skateboards aka Cruisers may be the best choice to use as means of transport. They aren't big and heavy like longboards, so you can carry them easily by hand when you need to step down. And their wheels are very wide and frictionless, unlike skateboards. Plus, they always come in aerodynamic shapes.
Some of the factors that separate longboards from skateboards: Different truck design, much larger and soft wheels, aerodynamic shapes without tail / nose, minimum concave, athlete rides closer to the ground. These design differences play a major role on how you use them. Longboard's common use is for downhill and transport. So, they are designed for stability in high speeds and less friction. A Cruiser skateboard is more similar and some of its uses are the same. Other than the powerslides and curves down hills and a few traditional skateboard tricks you can perform on certain longboard setups, there is also the dancing discipline which has become fashionable.
