Globe Chromantic Cruiser | Maitrus — 33"
Globe Chromantic in Maitrus. 33" Resin-7 hard rock maple swallow-tail cruiser, mellow concave with kicktail, 6.0" Tensor alloy trucks, 62mm 78a conical wheels, algae foam tail pad. Where the street ends and the ocean starts.
The Chromantic is Globe's medium-length surf-inspired cruiser — a swallow-tail shape that borrows its DNA straight from the water and translates it onto concrete. At 33" x 9.5" it's wide enough to stand comfortably, stable enough for longer pushes, and short enough to still be responsive when you want to lay into a carve. The Maitrus colourway is part of Globe's hyper-vibrant underwater bloom art series — brightly coloured neon art on the bottom that looks like it's been pulled up from 30 metres below the surface.
Resin-7 hard rock maple gives you an epoxy-pressed deck that's lighter and more durable than standard water-based builds, with a mellow side-to-side concave and kicktail that keeps riding intuitive without demanding technical commitment. The 6.0" Tensor alloy trucks are the widest in the Globe cruiser lineup, matched to this shape specifically for stable, drawn-out carves rather than tight city pivots. The 62mm 78a conical wheels eat rough pavement without drama, and the algae foam tail pad is there for barefoot riding when the session calls for it — a detail that sets the Chromantic apart from every standard cruiser setup in this price range.
Globe has been designing and manufacturing skateboards in Australia since 1994, with over 30 years of in-house product development behind every build. They press their own decks, make their own trucks, and engineer their own urethane — no badge-engineering, no shortcuts. The Chromantic series is where that experience meets a genuine surf culture influence, producing a board that doesn't just look the part but rides like it too.
Why Ride the Globe Chromantic Maitrus?
-
Swallow-Tail Surf-Inspired Shape
A 33" x 9.5" mid-length silhouette that balances surf-style fluidity with real-world manoeuvrability; wide enough for a confident stance, compact enough to actually use in the street. -
Resin-7 Hard Rock Maple Construction
Epoxy-pressed maple deck is lighter, stronger, and more resistant to delamination than standard water-based pressed boards; built for daily riding without losing integrity. -
Mellow Concave with Kicktail
A forgiving side-to-side concave keeps your feet relaxed over longer sessions, while the kicktail adds just enough response to keep things dynamic when the terrain demands it. -
6.0" Tensor Alloy Trucks — Lifetime Guarantee
Wider truck size matched to the 9.5" deck for stable, flowing carves; grade-8 kingpins and high-rebound urethane bushings, backed by Globe's lifetime truck warranty. -
62mm 78a Conical Cruiser Wheels
High-rebound soft urethane that rolls through cracks, rough bitumen, and anything short of a full pothole; the conical profile keeps turning smooth without sacrificing stability at speed. -
Globe ABEC-7 Bearings
Precision bearings standard across all Globe completes; fast, low-maintenance, and built to handle the kind of use a daily cruiser actually sees. -
Algae Foam Tail Pad
Barefoot-ready tail pad built into the setup from the factory — a surf-culture detail that makes the Chromantic genuinely usable on warm pavement, not just a visual reference to the ocean. -
Clear Broadcast Griptape
Spray-on clear grip applied over the top-deck art; full-coverage traction without burying the Maitrus underwater bloom graphics, keeping the full visual impact of the board intact from nose to tail.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between a longboard and a cruiser skateboard?
A: A longboard is built for stability — longer distances, sweeping carves, and a planted ride. A cruiser is more compact and portable, with a kicktail for navigating urban terrain and tighter spaces. The choice comes down to how much board you want underfoot and where you're taking it. Not sure? Call us on 03 9421 2293 and we'll sort it out.
Q: What size should I choose?
A: Shorter boards are easier to carry and more manoeuvrable. Longer boards are usually wider, offering more stability and a surf-style feel underfoot. Go shorter for portability, longer for a more flowing and planted ride. Give us a call on 03 9421 2293 and we'll point you in the right direction.
