I have that very same tugboat (uv) and I love it. I like it because Im not doing any tricks. Im just a cruiser. Hop a few curbs, some slides but thats it. Im 50yrs old in Ausgust (😆most cant tell) and I mostly ride a electric cruiser now (Wowgo 3X). I got this board because I have big feet 😜 so it more comfortable for me to ride when Im in the mood to kick-push. Yeah, Im getting old but Im not dead yet so I'll ride till I die.✌🏿
Thank you for these amazing quality reviews i don’t even have or plan to buy most of these boards but I still love to watch them.
I'm stoked to hear that. I really appreciate your support!
Had the exact same one for about a year, been loving it. Keep making these videos you the goat
Nice! And thanks for the kind words, appreciate that
Just purchased a similar one because of you, thank you for your review
I love the agility and the ease of turning in these guys. I've got a tugboat and it's so fun to ride. The major downside is the speed; I have trouble catching up with casual longboards on the street, but other than that it's pretty nice
Holy shit the sound track you guys use fits your videos so well. You're improving by the day. 100k in no time baby 🔥🔥
Good job mate. Good quality and well done as usual. Keep it up!!
Definitely looking forward to your future review about the Arbor Oso you mentioned at the end of this video and would love to see how it compares to the Tugboat! Those are the two I’m choosing between at the moment and I got so excited when you said you had an Oso on the way.
The arbor oso is pronounced "oh-so".
Oso means "bear" in Spanish.
I love your vids man I never tried surfskating before but I'm getting a waterborne adapter and dinghy deck cus ur vids are so awesome, keep up the great work u make this scene so amazing
I also have a UV Bengal, threw a Waterborne set on it and absolutely love the feel. No experience with other surfskate setups, but the Waterborne is pretty adjustable in terms of how loose or tight you want it to be. Zero complaints with the setup, and as usual great vid!!
Nice Gavin! I can see it being solid for the waterborne. If you get the chance, try it on a board with a longer wheelbase... like 16-18"
I got the midnight snek version of this board and loved it. I ended up putting a waterborne adapter and it works really, reallly well. Great video!
I wanted the Midnight so bad but they were sold out. Love the design of that board. Good to know about the waterborne adapter!
is there any way to get the midnight in Europe? I can't find it anywhere
I would love to see a review of the Shape 9. It's a cool alternative that's between the Dingy and the Tugboat with a slightly wider base (8.5") than the Dinghy (8"). It uses the same truck and wheel setup as the Dinghy so it's easy to transfer out decks without issue.
Just got me a Tugboat today, I love it. Got some Indy trucks with 1/4" risers and Bones bushings, some OJ 3 60mm wheels on there, Bones Reds for bearings. It rides great.
I second putting carver trucks on it - or! I switched the front truck off my LY pocket knife (the shorter of their surf skates) and it’s now my go to get around board. So so fun with those trucks on it!
Great video as always! Have u thought building small obstacle courses for these cruiser reviews? I think it will be really fun to watch how the board and u guys perfoms on it
That's a really cool idea. The dream is to get a mini-warehouse so we can do random stuff like that haha
Shred shack is that kind of channel that you want to post more often and/or in more longer durations
Appreciate that Jodi!
I wiped out hard on one of these today. Great boards!!
This exact board (the UV Bengal) came in the mail the other day and I've been absolutely loving it as my first ever cruiser. Wish this vid came before I purchased it tho haha
Is it annoying to carry around at all?
Been trying to learn to skateboard on a 7.75 popsicle deck and it's been highly recommended I go bigger. Since I'm not interested in learning any tricks any time soon nd am mainly interested in cruising, I've been eyeing cruisers, and this one in particular. It SOUNDS like this might be a good board for someone just starting out.
i’ve got two landyachtz and don’t think i’ll ever buy another brand, the ride quality makes them priceless
you are so right! The website could use a deck shape comparison interactive thingy.
I have the waterborne adapter on my tugboat and I love it!
Thanks for the video! Love my tugboat uv bengal. The most fun I’ve had in a long time. The uv eventually wears out and then you’ve got a white board. Still gets its own personality with the paint I put on and use it gets.
Cheers
How long did it take for your UV to wear down? 🤙🏼
Mr. Kam It wore off faster than I would have liked to be honest. I’d say about two months maybe three. Still a rad board, just stays white.
@@kevinrico1194 mine is coming tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
Mr. Kam yeahhh that is my favorite board. So smooth and so fun. 🤘🏼
@@kevinrico1194 I spoke to LY CS today and they confirmed it wears off after a while. Bummer.
Love your vids they are very helpful
Stoked I could help! Thanks for watching and dropping a comment
Thanks for this, been currently deciding on a board and your dinghy vs coyote video helped a ton since those two were in my top choices. I was considering the tugboat but I wanted something a little more portable.
Hope this channel blows up soon since this channel deserves way more.
Do you think you could cover one day a board from Pantheon? I think they're a little unknown but seen to have good rep on r/longboarding
Definitely want to try out Pantheon in the future. I'm glad to hear that video helped you out. Thanks for watching and dropping a comment!
@@concrete-waves should've written this in my first comment but, I'm headed out to college this fall and I'm planning on buying my first board sometime soon and have been deciding on the coyote and dinghy, and maybe even the tugboat and was wondering what you would recommend? I just plan on cruising around the campus if possible and around my house. Not sure if I'll be having any textbooks to carry but possibly will. I'm sure I can't go wrong with either but I am terrible at making a decision and was wondering for some kind of factor to sway me to one board
I got some high end longboards but my cruisers get the most use. So practical.
Thanks dude, thanks to your video, finally made my move. When went to shop to double choose, tugboad is mych comfortable then smaller cruisers. So far so good, just small falls lol and painful knee after heating with a board lol,
However i love cruising and is so amazing to ride. Thanks dude
Thinking about getting this as my first cruiser as a new rider. Thanks for the video.
Stoked to hear that - no prob 🙌
"For a surfskate i'd try something wider and longer". I've tried!!! It is not easy. This deck is fun with the waterborne setup once you get used to it and I am 6'0" 200lbs. Just ordered the YOW Aricia 33" so I am excited for that!!!!
Thanks so much for the information🙏🙏
Another quality review!
Appreciate your support! Thank you
wow! I found my answer here! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the video!
I have a few questions if you don't mind.
Did the angled riser do much to change the ride characteristics compared to the Dinghy? If so, how?
Can you explain why you chose the Tugboat over the Dugout to compare to the Dinghy? The Dugout uses Chubby, 130mm trucks (both perhaps more similar to the Dinghy), but a wider board and angled riser.
Can you do a tutorial on how to ollie on a tugboat or a dinghy. I would really appreciate it.
Its basically the same as with a normal skateboard but harder because the tuboat is heavier and the wheels are extremely soft/bouncy. I wouldn't buy it again tbh.
My guy goes above and beyond always
Appreciate that bro!
Great review! What's the difference in the Flippy deck specs? Also, if you do put bigger wheels on this will you need to add bigger risers, or will the existing ones cope? Thanks!
I think existing ones are fine
You should do a review of Pantheon's cruising boards, particularly the Trip and Pranayama. Loving the reviews so far.
That was great! It would be awesome to see a long term ownership dinghy vs tugboat review once you've had the tugboat for a while. Maybe that's been covered elsewhere but I appreciate your honest, high quality approach.
That's a solid idea!. Definitely think long-term updates are a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion James
Last week I’ve got the Flippy! Nice ride, good size for someone tall as I am (189cm)
Nice! I was sooo close to getting the Flippy. Looks like a solid board!
What made you get the Flippy instead of the other Tugboats, BV? Is the only difference the smaller wheels?
@@VarkhanMB it was just the only available in store. BTW the wheels are great
@@bvarq Thanks so much for the reply! I'm heading to the store right now and the Flippy is all they have too! I'm just gonna go for it :)
Not much to say other than that I loved the video!
I'd love to see a review of some of the "Globe Brand" boards if you guys get a chance. I keep seeing ads for these guys all over the place and most of their boards seem pretty financially reasonable. Would love to know if they're actually any good. Keep up the good work fellas.
I'm definitely planning on getting to Globe boards. I've actually had one of their pintail cruisers for a long time and it's held up nicely
theyre ok at best. theres other brands that have better conponents for the same money
I got the Flippy tugboat. Been waiting to see you do a review on this great board. It's an amazing cruiser board
Dude this board is sick! I can see why so many people suggested it
@@concrete-waves I agree amazing board great for ollie's and some long carves and slides like a dream.
How has it held up? I'm thinking about getting one.
I have an arbor pilsner and absolutely love it! I'd say its a direct competitor to the dingy. It's great for small commutes and going to school. If you can, could you look into the arbor axis 40 drop through? I was looking at getting one and would love to see your review of it! Love the vids - keep on shredding
Thanks for the suggestion! Will try to eventually take a look into it. I'm stoked to finally try an Arbor board
They also have a Dinghy Blunt, which is sort of an in-between model with the best of both worlds. Pretty happy with mine.
Yup! That's the one in the video actually. I love mine too. It's a nice in-between, but I still prefer a little more deck length/width that the Tugboat has
Good review. I'd long been interested in a Tugboat but since Landyachtz boards all cost more in Europe due to import fees I didn't end up feeling like the deck shape was special enough to justify it. Landyachtz makes good stuff but I couldn't talk myself into thinking of the Tugboat as '200 Euro good' instead of exploring domestic alternatives. I ended up spending more than 200 on my cruiser board but most of it went to the local lads instead of being eaten up by the logistics costs of making decks in china, shipping them to be assembled in the US and then shipped to Europe, so I feel pretty okay with it.
I do own a Dinghy Blunt Fender. The pressed wheel flares are probably divisive but I love them and they were just the extra feature that convinced me to get it, since it's uncommon on boards of that size.
Nice video.
Hope to see the Decathlon Yamba 700 cruiser review.
Maybe in the future. Thanks for the support!
Hey! Great review. I’m interested in picking one of these up but I’m wondering if you can do a review on the landyachtz atv? Seems like they have similar specs minus the deck shape. Curious to hear the difference
Great info😊👍
Just subscribed! Well done! 😀
Thanks Jaytee, appreciate your support!
Can you talk about custom boards, the best equipment for them, and just an in general overview and comparison against a bought board?
Yoo man enjoy your weekend! 🤙🤙🤙
Thanks Robbe, you too man. Hope you can get some shredding in
i got this board last year & its soo fun
I love my tugboat! It's great with the waterborne adapter.
That's awesome Sarah! It's such a solid board
@@concrete-waves it really is! It was my first board ever and it was a blast to learn on.
Dope videos, ended up getting a landyachtz drop hammer after watching your videos
Nice! Thanks for watching. How you liking the drop hammer?
@@concrete-waves Its been super nice for cruising around my city! I really wanted a drop through but without the rock of the drop cat so im very happy with it. Solid build quality on it 👌
Man, you've got to review the Loaded Bolsa! ^^
Subbed! I'm looking to start out cruising for fun and can't decide on the dinghy blunt fender or tugboat. Any opinions on this?
I want to cruise around rough pavement(pretty much all the road in Malaysia are rough and uneven) and still can easily travel with it.
nice review!
Ayyy thanks Connor. Hope you're doing well bro
looking forward to the Arbor Pilsner and Oso reviews. I have the Pilsner and will sometime throw the Waterborne adapters on it which works fine (I am 168cm). Their Martillo is interesting too as I want a deck with a proper nose.
Nice, I'll definitely try them out with the waterborne adapter. I'll also check out the Martillo. Thanks for the suggestion
Landyachtz is the shiiiiiiit. Great review. great vid
Agreed. They always nail it. Thanks for watching!
It would be nice to see review of the different model of dinghy , ( shape 9 , turbo flight , coffin shape) ect
Yeah I'm not 100% sure if we'll get to other dinghy models but it's def a possibility
Quick question, what’s you daily/go-to cruiser?
Could you do a video where you build an ideal cruiser
finally a review on this baby
Haha I know, sorry for the delay
Hello! First of all thank you for the useful information! I have a Tugboat and I am always really interested in what I can learn to do with it, what are the limitations, etc. I have a question, perhaps I won’t get an answer very soon, but it is still worth a shot :) I also would want to learn how to dance and I really need your advice guys, on what longboard should it be best for me to buy. Thanks in advance! Have a great day!
Thank you for this review!!
Would you say that this board is good for going around a city in or would you recommend the dinghy classic for that?
I’ve ridden through very rough city terrain with my tugboat before, but as long as you’re experienced enough with riding you’d be fine with either. Biggest factor would be your wheel size/duro
I have both, I really like the dinghy and ride it more. I put harder wheels on my TB. But still need to change them again. Something about it makes me not like the wheels I have.
Man this guy has said 'personal preference' like a billion times
🔥 🔥🔥 per usual 🤙🏿
Appreciate it as always Bee!
Yeah man. This is the exact board I want.
It's a beaut! I'm definitely gonna be using it a lot
You guys should do a video about why someone would pick something like the LandYachtz ATV rather than just setting up a normal skateboard with riser pads and cruiser wheels. I’m really want get a cruiser but still want the ability to do tricks like a traditional board. I see a lot of longboard brands offer these all terrain skateboards and want to know if it’s just a gimmick or if it is something I should really consider.
Ohhh that's such a solid idea! I will get to something like that
@@concrete-waves awesome!
How much difference is between using 60mm and 63mm wheels in this board? Using 60mm reduce wheelbite?
Man I would love to see your opinion on the magneto SUV
My tiger tugboat stopped turning purple after a couple months of use idk why
Mine too! No idea why!
Any experience with Rayne Panther/Minitour or Tiger cruiser boards ? Rayne's are a little bit bigger than the Tugboat but cheaper. Can't really find reviews for these models specifically unfortunately.
I wanna see the Oso with surfskate trucks! Kind of a drama setup for me with C7s but not sure if it’s worth it
Good vids man, thanks, def getting some education here. I am thinking about Tugboat, but am curious what alternatives are there in this size/purpose? I am sick of hearing about dinghy, much smaller board. Curious about Tugboat vs Omakase, although that is bigger. What other boards like Tugboat are there? Asking for a middle aged fat dad wanting to get back into cruising ;)
The bengal and gloopy are the two I’m choosing between but I have never gotten my own board I don’t understand what the difference in specs do. Since I’m a beginner what do u think I should get my height is 5’8 and I weigh 134 if that is a factor I should be consedering
I really want a dinghy but I’m a beginner and my feet are big af so I wonder if this would be better for me
Ooo niceeee video keep it up
Appreciate you always showing support! Thank you.
Just wondering if anyone else saw that on the outro he put 1.3 mil subs and I was wondering if there was a reason behind that or he just put it randomly. ALSO can't wait for the pilsner review
Landyachtz offers 2 different models with the UV Bengal. They have the (Setup 1 Polar Bear 155mm trucks and 60mm 78a EZ Hawgs -- Stable and slidy setup.) and the (Setup 2 Polar Bear 130mm trucks and 63mm 78a Fatty Hawgs -- Maneuverable and fast rolling setup.). If you swap out the 60mm EZ wheels for the 63mm FATTY, the wheels would pop out more to the sides. Is it bad to have the wider trucks paired with the larger wider wheels? With the Tugboat Wolf, it uses 155mm trucks with 63mm EZ Hawgs.
Can you get the model with 155mm trucks and still put 63mm wheels or would you need the 130s for that
Perfect timing on this review! I am looking buy a board just to cruise around town/along the beach and enjoy, am trying to decide between this and the Loaded Coyote, what would be your pick between those?
Which ever has bigger wheels because docks have bad conditions usually
They're both really solid boards and I'm sure you'll like either. But the Tugboat is wider and shorter compared to the Coyote. Also the Coyote has pretty aggressive wheel wells, so it really is just personal preference
@@concrete-waves Thanks mate!
I went for the Tugboat and am very happy.
When you said in the video that you would put 60mm Hawgs on it, did you mean the 63 Fatty hawgs or the same EZ Hawgs but in 63mm?
Cheers
yall should review some pantheon boards if you get the chance 👍
A review of LOADED POKE would be awesome
I've been trying to get my hands on that board for a while now. They've been out of stock
Can you review the quest reef board I want to know if it’s worth buying.
Did you change out the wheels to 63? If so, was there any wheel bite?
great quality video!
On a unrelated note im skating right now and i was looking for a good mid range longboard to cruise with and to learn longboard dancing with do you have any reccomendations that ship to the eu?
Hmmm I'm not aware of specific brands that ship to the eu. I'm also not too familiar with dancing boards since I haven't done that type yet. Sorry I can't really help you here
@@concrete-waves ah thats fine i will keep looking thanks for your time
What is your opinion on switching out wheels(63mm) on modern tugboat(with reverse kingpen bear 6 130mm) for 72mm plow king and riser.
I was about to buy this till I ended up customizing my own board instead 😅 I love it so much, no regrets!
The Decathlon made a clone of this called Yamba for half a price. I had bought one in 2021 Russia for 60 bucks. Now it is about 100
Would like s video of the Drop Cat 33
The tugboat wheels are smaller than the dinghy's does that make any difference?
So I saw that you said you want to try other reviews. Look up faceplant boardriders on etsy. They have a board called the mini stick which is 29.75" by 6.5" wide. It is very similar to a penny board but it is made out of maple. I wanted to see if you could compare to the penny. $139.00 plus $25 shipping. I recently bought their rocket fish board and I really enjoy it wanted you to review the mini stick rob and the gang have been making boards for years cool company thanks.
tugboat vs skiff vid? both with 63mm fatty hawgs and 130mm trucks.
I ended up getting a dugout compared to the tugboat just bc it’s a bit longer and someone else recommended it
Good review, it changed my mind on what I might buy now. I was looking at the Arbor Pilsner, but I might reconsider.
Is there maybe a slide surfskate vid in the future
I have this board, it's just so fun to ride.
Nice! And yup, I really wasn't expecting it to ride as agile as it does
@@concrete-waves they are pretty nimble for what they are
