Landyachtz Raft Trout Cruiser Skateboard | 32.5"
Landyachtz Raft in Trout. 32.5" x 9.9" 7-ply Canadian maple, medium cave concave, full-size nose and tail, 130mm Polar Bear trucks, 63mm 78a Fatty Hawgs wheels, Spaceball bearings. A mega carver disguised as an old-school street skate.
The Raft is Landyachtz's widest cruiser — a 9.9" platform with a subtle taper and tub concave that gives you serious foot space and a planted, confidence-inspiring stance without crossing into longboard territory. Inspired by the surfy, functional boards of the early 90s, the Raft has become one of Landyachtz's most popular cruiser shapes because it bridges two worlds — it looks and feels like a traditional street skateboard, rides like a carver, and handles everything from skatepark runs to neighbourhood pushes with equal confidence. The Trout colourway features artwork by Tim Johnson — detailed, striking illustration work that makes this board as much a visual statement as a functional one.
At 32.5" x 9.9" with a 15" wheelbase, the Raft is the widest, most spacious platform in the Landyachtz cruiser lineup. The 7-ply Canadian maple is sourced from the finest Eastern Canadian veneers, pressed stiff for maximum pop and responsiveness. Medium cave concave keeps your feet locked in through carves without being aggressive over longer sessions, and the full-size nose and tail give you a genuinely functional street skate shape — enough kicktail to pop ollies, hit obstacles, and navigate urban terrain the way a proper skateboard should. Half-inch risers are included for phenomenal wheel clearance. The 130mm Polar Bear traditional kingpin trucks deliver precise turning and stability matched to the 9.9" width, and the 63mm 78a Fatty Hawgs are the benchmark Landyachtz cruiser wheel — fast, smooth, and soft enough to handle whatever the street throws at them.
Landyachtz has been skater-owned and operated out of Vancouver, Canada since 1997. They design their own trucks, pour their own urethane through the Hawgs brand, source only the finest Eastern Canadian maple veneers, and plant a tree for every board sold through their One Board One Tree programme. The Raft is the right board for riders who want maximum foot space, traditional skate feel, and a carver that doesn't announce itself as one.
Why Ride the Landyachtz Raft Trout?
-
Extra Wide 9.9" Platform
The widest cruiser in the Landyachtz range; a subtle taper and tub concave give you serious foot space and a planted stance — ideal for riders with larger feet, wider stances, or anyone who wants maximum confidence underfoot. -
Full-Size Nose and Tail
A genuinely functional traditional skate shape — enough kicktail to pop ollies, hit park obstacles, and navigate urban terrain properly; not just a visual nod to street skating, but a board that actually performs like one. -
7-Ply Canadian Maple Construction — Stiff Flex
Sourced from the finest Eastern Canadian maple veneers; stiff, light, and poppy — built for daily riding across real terrain without losing its feel or shape over time. -
Medium Cave Concave — Tub Shape
Enough concave to keep your feet locked in through carves and over obstacles, without being aggressive enough to cause discomfort on longer, more casual sessions. -
130mm Polar Bear Trucks — 88a Bushings
Traditional kingpin trucks matched precisely to the 9.9" deck width; precise turning and stability at speed — 88a bushings that balance agility and control from the first session. -
63mm 78a Fatty Hawgs Wheels
The benchmark Landyachtz cruiser wheel — soft 78a urethane rolls over cracks and rough pavement smoothly, with enough grip and roll speed to keep you moving efficiently between pushes on any surface. -
Half-Inch Risers Included
Factory-fitted for phenomenal wheel clearance; ensures the large wheels and wide trucks run clean at full lean without any risk of wheelbite — set up right from the box. -
Spaceball Bearings
Built-in washers and spacers mean you can never lose them; bearings are always correctly mated, eliminating bearing-induced chatter and keeping the roll smooth and consistent. -
Tim Johnson Artwork
Detailed illustration work by Tim Johnson — a board that earns a second look before you even step on it, and holds up visually through years of riding. -

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.
