The big brother of the Dinghy, the Tugboat provides the same smooth-rolling, hard-carving experience in a package a little better suited to riders with bigger feet or who are looking for a slightly more stable ride.
Add to cart

A wider and slightly longer version of the Dinghy, the Tugboat comes in at 30″ long and 9″ wide for a super solid, stable feeling ride.

The wider platform is ideal for riders with larger feet who are looking for a comfortable cruiser board experience. The extra meat also inspires confidence and gives you more platform to land on when doing tricks on larger obstacles.

The Tugboat is pressed with 7 plies of Canadian maple for a light, stiff and poppy ride. It comes set up with Polar Bear 155mm trucks for maximum stability and leverage. 60mm 78a Lil EZ Hawgs wheels finish off the setup and ensure you’ll have a smooth ride with plenty of roll speed and grip without having to worry about wheel bite.

The Tugboat is a 3/10 Flex, 1 being STIFF and 10 being FLEXY!

So, what’s flex and why is it important to a skateboard? In skate-nerd terms, flex is the amount of displacement a deck sees when a specific amount of force is applied to it.
It’s important to understand flex when choosing a board.

Here are some basics:

  • Downhill/freeride skateboards will have less flex because you need a stiff platform to stand on when you’re bombing or gripping a corner at speed.
  • Carving skateboards will have more flex, giving you the ability to sink into your turns and pump or carve with ease.
  • Most cruisers, dance and ATV boards will have less flex for control when doing tricks but just enough to be forgiving when pushing around town.
