Smooth rides and great for beginners or experienced riders.
Amazon Customer✓ Verified Purchase•February 10, 2024
This board was the first board I bought for myself and I love it so much. It is such a smooth ride and catches serious speed, careful on declines because no joke, I've gotten up to 20mph. Snapchat can verify.
Nice starter longboard, needs dialing in
Frances Lee✓ Verified Purchase•January 1, 2024
For the pricepoint, this is a super longboard for beginners. And it is beautiful bamboo with a lovely, vintage-inspired design (IMO a welcome relief from the aggro designs from most other longboard companies).
I bought the Ten Toes complete board to try out longboarding (having never even skateboarded before) without spending too much on something I didn't know if I'd like. My primary fear was falling off the board and luckily, the board has a stable and tight setup right out of the box. I skated around on it for a few weeks and had a blast cruising through city parks. Eventually, I got tired of pushing so often and leaning so far to turn and wondered if it wasn't really for me. It wasn't until I tried a friend's fancier drop through longboard before figuring out that my board setup needs a lot of tweaking to fit my personal riding style. That's one downside of ordering a longboard online- it's ideal to try out different boards in person before choosing one that feels the best.
With that said, here are my comments or adjustments I made to make the board more comfortable for my cruising style:
Trucks - These are the the metal T-shaped pieces holding the wheels screwed to the board. The stock ones are fine. Mine were overly tight out of the box, which made turning more difficult. I loosened the kingpin slightly to address this. They were also squeaking every time I turned. To fix that, I took apart the trucks and inserted some soap shavings into the pivot cup.
Wheels - They are nice and big for a cushy ride and are an appropriate size for a longboard of this size. At 85a hardness, they are great for pavement riding.
Bearings - These are the round metal gadgets that fit inside the wheels and make them spin. Half of my wheels spun for only a few seconds, which is not good, and part of why I had to push so often. I opted to upgrade to Bones Red bearings, and added washers in between them to increase the speed. I also did not over tighten the nuts (that secure the wheels to the trucks) so that the wheels could spin freely.
Bushings - These are the rubbery black rings that fit around the kingpin on the trucks that allow them to turn. The stock bushings are very hard, so I recommend changing these out to achieve a smoother ride (or one that best fits your riding style).
I recommend that if you keep this board around as your main cruiser to get a skateboard T tool and dial in your trucks and bearings. Or just go to your local boardshop and get them to help you out.

Smooth ride

Took this baby on her maiden voyage this week during a camping trip; rode it all around the campground and she did swimmingly. Handled well, if a little loose on turns. Sturdy, well built and stylish. Love the 70mm wheels and the beachy decal. 10/10 would buy again.
The board is great. The bearings not.

For a first longboard, this is great. I work with roller skates and know a little about bearings and trucks, and making adjustments to fit the individual style. Not a fan of the bearings. First thing I did was up graded for a smoother ride. Other then that. This is a fun board. I'm happy with the way it holds my feet and really makes it easy to carve. Not to heavy also.
Update: week later, the board is still great fun. Gotten a lot of praise.
