- Two great boards can be very different, Ive been looking for an adult alternative to my daughters Penny Nickel board which is already hard to beat. Im surprised there arent more reviews out there so heres my take. Ive found the Landyachtz Dinghy to be a great choice for heavier riders like myself its got the goods if youre curious like I was this is a thorough review of the pros and cons of both.
If youd like to get a Dinghy you can find them here on Landyachtz Amazon store, keep in mind this graphic I reviewed here may not be available but many others are.

Penny Vs Longboard cruiser longboard review mini cruiser longboard review landyachtz longboard review landyachtz dinghy review penny nickel review. - Věda a technologie
Really great review. Your editing and quality is absolutely amazing.
Hey whats up Skye, thanks, Ive been self teaching myself to edit for a few years now and it usually takes me a few weeks to make time to shoot all the footage and produce it. probably not smart in the long run but I prefer the look of these compared to my older simple unedited stuff. your dad is real cool I saw your vid teaching him to skate, he was smart to take it slow, it feels weird standing on a board with wheels the first time.
Can't go wrong with a Landyachtz
xXspectre170Xx Thanks, wait a minute, are you that James bond villain dude?. What you riding?
I usually cruise with a Landyachtz Tugboat.
xXspectre170Xx I mentioned to Landyachtz I would like to do a comparison between the dingy and tugboat. If you look close at all the tugboats there's three different board dimensions , the 80s wide pool version. The original one is 9.25 in wide but the most recent one with the Pug on it is a little narrower at 9 in
I like how the tugboat is a little longer than the dinghy, but its still a good size to travel with. I'm thinking about getting the hatchet later down the line.
Dream cruiser
Bro, first off... Your video is super clean! I'm over here wondering what kind of camera you used lol...
Thanks so much. I try to shoot my videos and edit in a way it don't get or look too boring. It's a Panasonic lumix g7. There's actually links in the description for it and the lenses I used on Amazon. Yeah man try shooting a skate review if you get a camera it's cool to produce something.
the reason that the dinghy has the cushioned grip is because people aren’t using them for flip tricks/ollie’s. The cushion makes it less responsive when you drag your foot. i’ve used a non abrasive grip dinghy and it’s hard to ollie.
Savten Thanks for that insight, since I can't Ollie yet it's good to know. My son also says the tiny lip at the front makes it harder to catch the board on the slide up for Ollie as well. Appreciate the comment.
Also it’s used for bare foot riding cause foam grip is used in surfing
Awesome to see another dad skateboarder. i just got the dingy (and borrow my kids' penny ha ha). Quality video too.
Yo 5K you uplifted me with that comment bro. sometimes im skating around my neighborhood folks look at me like im from Mongolia lol. its hard to ride the longboard anymore its just not nimble enough. good looking out im working hard on producing quality content over high quantity.
This was one of the best CZcams videos I've ever watched.
Produced expertly and to the point, now I need one of these boards!!
Gas thank you and because of that if I had merch I would send you a case of gear to deck you out lol. I dedicate this video to you. Hey one thing I have to mention is some of the same boards at landyachtz come in two different size wheels some come with 60 mmm for like skatepark type tricks and others come with the larger 63 mm for cruising, I always recommend getting the 63 as they roll smoothly over bumps and stuff. Good lookin out
Man, this video was so well done, the pacing, the camera work and editing are all on point. Hadn't used my Dinghy in a while but got it out yesterday after seeing this. It's such a fun and chill board. Comfortable like a longboard, but can turn on a dime. Great stuff man.
My man thanks so mucj for stopping by and commenting. Im so tempted to start a skate channel necause this and my tugboat review are so popular but i sont habe enough gear to review and the dinghy just won't die lol. Hey man feel free to try ahooting a video of your experience also.
This video helped me a lot initially I wanted to get the Dinghy but then decided to go for the Nickel because it was on sale! Have an amazing 2020 Sir!
Thanks for passing thru. Glad it helped
This was very helpful. I got into skating with a nickel board and have been on a search for similar cruiser boards. Before watching this video I actually had my eye on a landyachtz dingy, so this video could not have been more useful/auspicious! Thank you much ✊
Hey thanks so much I love hearing comments from my viewers. The crazy thing is my channel is a photography channel but this is the most popular video I have it just hit over 100,000 views which is ridiculous lol. I don't know if you saw but I did a follow-up review with the Dinghy versus the tugboat and I still choose to ride the dinghy 90% of the time. When you get comfortable with the board I dare you to shoot your own video review, no pressure LOL
Was looking up a new board to skate and found your Channel which has nothing to do with skating but everything else I love! Can't wait to watch all your old videos. Much love! (Do more skate videos!)
Thanks for stopping by my man thanks for the compliment and I love skating but yes I don't have enough skate gear to really do a proper skate channel. The crazy thing is my channel is about photography but this skate video is my most popular. if you're into anything about photography and video though I have plenty stuff on the channel that you could benefit from also. Respect
This really is the best board review I’ve found on CZcams so far. I was minutes away from purchasing the penny board until I watched this video. Keep up the great work!
Yo man thanks so much. I don't know how I missed your comments for 3 months but let me know how you're doing with the board that you got, and if you're bad I challenge you to shoot a review also LOL
Raychristofer yo man, i really appreciate how you still react to comments, and that you’re so nice to your viewers. keep it up!
@@samuelz2214 haha thanks man. It's because my channel is so small it's easy to keep up with comments. I'm sure Justin Bieber gave up trying to reply 20 years ago lol. Respect. Oh by the way I'm currently shooting a tutorial for how to skate for adults, that should be out it a few weeks
Raychristofer sick man. keep doin’ what you’re doing
If youd like to check out my review of the 2018 Landyachtz tugboat, the larger version of the dinghy you can check it here.

Raychristofer I
great review, simple yet in depth lol also probably one of the most cinematic board reviews ive ever seen
Hello thanks so much around me that means a lot. You know what is funny is my channel is about photography and video but this is the most popular thing on here it's a hit over a hundred thousand views which is rediculous to me considering not your typical skater dude. Definitely check out my tugboat versus dinghy review if you like this one also. Good looking out
Bro I think Im gonna comment on all your videos how amazing you are. Thank you again Ray for those reviews!
I love your video, the quality, music , editing, all was put together, but not only that, they all fit together so well.
Hello thanks so much, it took me a few weeks to put this video together. what is interesting is my channel is about photography but this skate review is the most popular video here, I was shocked when it went over 100,000. Definitely check out my tugboat verse dinghy review also. Thanks again
Great review! This is encouraging me to get back into riding again a little more than I have. Why give up on something you love just because not 14 anymore. Keep on skatin’!
Hello virginia, thanks that's so true. Of you haven't seen it already I did a how to skate tutorial for adults a few months ago, you might appreciate
I have a nickel board for fun cruises with longboard friends and other nickel board riders but the normal Penny is something I need to get! Perfect aspect of the normal penny is the portability and it's still a fun ride. Might have to try a Dinghy one day but the Penny brand has my heart!
That's what's up Darien. Knowing what suits you best. Respect
All around classy video. Concise, well thought out review. Super nice editing and shots. Great job!
Hey oozy big respect I appreciate that. I'm not your typical skater so I'm amazed how popular this vid has become. Feel free to check out my follow up review of the tugboat on my channel. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
@@Raychristofer i will for sure! I was so happy to hear that you do camera reviews, my other passion. Srsly looking forward to watching all your videos
@@uz_7150 you know what it wouldn't hurt for you to try to shoot a video and edit it. It's lots of fun and I don't if I mentioned it but after Landyachtz saw this video they gave me the choice to choose anything from there 2018 catalog 2 review that's when they sent me to talk boat that I asked for. Really cool. Sometimes a decent video can open doors to other things you never expected
Nice skate shoes
Juh Dah Lol yo my wife roasted me bout that so hard lol. This are my work clothes and most days I shoot reviews I have to do it throughout work days. Preciate the comment.
Right? dress shoes on a skateboard video, bold!
@@Raychristofer You still got it done though. Props to you for doing it in dress shoes! Keep up the videos. Thanks.
@@ryan355 thanks man I appreciate that, I'm going to tell my wife you said that lol
You should keep some skate shoes in the boot (trunk in America I think) of your car so you can just stick em on and go skate after work. This was a cool video though thanks for the review. I was thinking of getting one but the trucks are so narrow compared to the 149mm I usually use!
Really great informative review. I've been trying to decide between the Nickel and the Dinghy for my next board so this was exactly what I needed!
That's awesome thanks for checking it out and taking the time to comment. You probably noticed I did a review of the tugboat versus the dinghy also feel free to check that out and let me know what you finally get
@@Raychristofer Hi! I ended up watching your Dinghy vs. Tugboat video and bought a Tugboat shortly after. I love it so far. Thanks for helping me make the decision with your well-made videos!
@@Cara_girlwithhat Hello Cara that's awesome. Feel free to shoot a short video of your experience with it and upload if you dare lol.
Man...what a channel. I am 52 and have been riding snowboards and skateboards for 25 years but have mellowed a bit!! I bought a dingy and fell off on day 1.... Subscribed!!!
Awesome review, editing is super clean. Can never go wrong with any of these boards bet my personal favorite is the dinghy.
Hello Massimo thanks. I have 4 boards and the dinghy is always my go to.
Wonderful review. Love your relaxed and genuine tone
Thanks so much Daniel, if I had more gear id really start a skate channel. Feel free to check out my tugboat review also if you like this one. Respect
This video just popped up on my page. Really great content and editing!! I have both boards and can definitely confirm what you've been saying! Have fun cruising around!!
Thanks for this good review man. I have a 22" Penny and have been riding in Manhattan and BK for months but wanted to give the Dinghy a try.
Michael Rickicki my man if you've mastered riding a penny in New York if you get hold of a dinghy the police are going to be giving you speeding tickets but only if they can catch you because it's more solid and responsive and you can actually stand with two feet on it. One of the 2018 models have smaller 60 mm Wheels I recommend getting the old school versions with 63 mm it will be better on the rough asphalt. Thanks for checking it out and tell Casey I said what's up
Hey, Thanks for your review! It is much thorough and I learned a lot more than other videos.
Hello thanks so much Elijah, man I dedicate this video to you. and I appreciate all you did for us in the bible. thats a half joke but much respect.
I was looking into the dinghy as my first ever skateboard and your review sold me!
Glad I could help!
I have Penny Nickel but I plan to get Dinghy too and enjoy both :)
I'll race you!
Your video product is well done! Also, your review is fantastic. I already ordered the Arctic Fox one and can't wait for it to arrive.
That's awesome thank you for watching. Let me kniw how you like it
Crisp clear quality and awesome production skills bro. Subbed.
I always knew you were cool, but this proves it. I used to skate like ... 25 years ago. Not sure I’d be game to jump on a deck now 😂. Great review and videography.
Lol thanks so much. I'm 47 years old and honestly while I love to skate I would hate to take one fall right now. I think grown folks like us it's best to just cruise on longboards with pillows strapped to our butts LOL
i just bought a dinghy as an upgrade from my penny brand boards! thank you for this review :) it was really helpful
Hey Scarlett thank you. You can't go wrong. By the way can you shoot a little test clip of you shredding to upload here? whenever I ask my viewers to shoot a video they say no no no no no LOL
Hey thnx to your review it actually helped me on my decision wheather or not to buy a landyacht or penny board and I chose the landyacht so thank you again and hope you have an amazing 2020
Thanks big Chris. Good looking out
man this did not age well 😂 hope y’all are good though
great video. trying to get my daughters to replace their penny boards with the Dinghy and this video will be perfect to demonstrate why they should switch as they become more regular riders. Thanks!!
Word up bro thanks so much. This video has become so popular it's eclipsed anything else in the channel. So cool
Amazing review and great camera work!
Such high quality, thanks for the review!
Thanks so much. This is prob the most popular vid on my channel even though my CZcams is about photography. Respect for stopping by
currently trying to decide between the two so this was real helpful. thanks!
awesome thank you
This video was really helpful. I wanted to get either a penny nickel or a dinghy. Thank you for posting this
Liyuan Cheong you're welcome liyuan. Let me know what you finally decide to get. You can push the dinghy harder though.
Your reviews are great, I really appreciated your intelligence and explanations in the review...
Hey thanks so much, the older I get the more I love skating.
You're a cool dude, I say the exact same thing about my penny it's just so much fun to ride!
The Dhingy looks awesome
Hey man thanks for checking it out. I really wish I had more skate Gear 2 review I think the channel would be awesome if I did.
Fantastic review and just a fantastic video overall. Super high quality in all respect, hats off! Great visuals, explanations, the works.
Hello James thanks so much. Yeah man trust me if I had more skate gear I would start a skate channel because my photography videos aren't doing squat LOL if you haven't already check out my how to skate for adults video I produce a few months ago
@@Raychristofer you're so kind to reply. I'll check that out for sure, I'm 38 and haven't skated before so gosh knows I need it. Looking forward to learning with my kids!
@@ronnienes Payless just take it easy and don't try to learn everything in two days. Just ride a little everyday like an hour at a time and your body will naturally build up the reflexes like riding a bicycle. Definitely watch out for those pebbles and cracks in the sidewalk they can make you fall bad. 38 is a good age, the moms in the neighborhood are gonna tell your kids your dad is so cool. be careful lol
@@Raychristofer ahahahaa that's awesome. Great advice, thanks again!
Great review, just ordered a Dinghy, cant wait to ride it!
Older video I know....but just found u bro.
Loved it. Great review btw! Keep it up.
(I got a dinghy cruiser not long ago & am loving it)
Thanks for checking in my man. I'm always surprised how popular this video is. I actually did a review of the tugboat you may have noticed as well Landyachtz like this particular review enough to allow me to choose anything from the catalog. Something about the dinging is just perfect to me. Now that you're on the grid I challenge you to do your own review of the dinghy, no pressure lol
Great review man! Just bought a dinghy board and loving it 😍
Sam H what's up Sam I am? One thing I learned about that board is it's a lot of fun because it's so maneuverable. Most longboards use reverse Kingpin but I like the way the traditional Kingpin feels and carves better. I keep that board in my car trunk. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. This is one review that I did not expect to get so many views and comments. Peace
Exactly what I was looking for man, you're a blessing!!
Thanks Bc, hey I dedicate this video to you!
I have a dinghy and your review totally cover the exact feels of the board. Great review.
drifting dust what's up DD? Thanks bro, I've been riding this board for a year now and the bearings are spinning faster than when I first got it LOL. I have no excuse to buy a new one because this one ain't going to die no time soon. By the way I finally was able to review the tugboat the larger version of this, check it out in my video feed let me know what you think
Raychristofer Sure will do. Totally forgot to sub your channel. Thanks for the reply and look forward to other good vids.
Great vid, just what I was looking for. Am in a similar situation and it was great to get your opinion. Am also into photography so will check out your other videos!
Hey thanks for checking this out, much appreciated.
Nice showcase! I love my penny board, it's great for getting around place to place quickly.
Austin Jones thanks Austin, I appreciate you taking the time to watching comment. Yes my younger daughter loves the nickel also we ride together a lot.
MAANNN how did you know I am changing from Penny (same colors) to Dinghy.
You just read my mind and answered all the questions.
Brilliant. Gotta love your reviews.. I hope I will have more excuses soon to watch them.
;)
love you man thanks so much sorry for the late reply, check out my latest skate tutorial for adults also
Good comparison and info. Thank you, Ray. My 1 question for you is, however, what do you consider "heavier riders"? The weight limit for the Penny is 220 lbs. Do you think that the increased flex in the board and increased "Gs" going into turns lower your center of gravity, and help with traction and handling? Just curious. Thank you again, Ray.
fantastic video I just subscribed did not want the video to end keep up the good work
Thanks Anthill, believe me im not a hardcore skater but I felt these boards deserved more than a lame unboxing in a dark room. in that case I dedicate this video to you, respect
Wait, I just realized you are the one who made the video that teaches adults to skateboard half way through the video. I started skateboarding several months ago after watching your video, and I protected my head from a fatal injury by listening to your advice to wear a helmet. Now I’m much better at cruising and checking out smaller cruisers for portability well and alive, thanks to your advice!
Great review! Thanks for posting it. The Dinghy is an awesome cruiser board, no doubt. But one thing I really like about the Penny Nickel board is that it closely resembles the boards that people rode in socal back in the 70s when pool skating was born. It's a cool feeling to ride something that pays homage to that kind of old school skateboarding. Best regards from Brasilia, Brazil.
Keto Gustavo how are you? Thanks much for stopping by and leaving that comment. I agree with you and that's why most skaters have several boards for different occasions. I was going to challenge you to shoot a short video of you skating what most people don't respond when I give them that homework lol
@@Raychristofer thanks for the suggestion! I will ask my wife to shoot the video for me when I get back home (I'm a business-jet pilot and am currently on a trip). I should also to get a stand for my phone so I can film myself skating.
@@sganzerlag that's awesome, if I could live life over I would try be a pilot.
Excellent review with very relevant assessments. Just stumbled on this and you just picked up another subscriber.
Hey thanks so much Tony that's really cool. The sad thing is I only have two skate videos on my channel I primarily focus on photography so I don't know if you would dig my other content.on the other hand definitely check out my follow-up video to this one reviewing the tugboat compared to the dinghy. Good looking out
@@Raychristofer I'm a photographer first and a just total noob on the skateboard, so your channel is a perfect match! @tonyjpix on insta if you wanna check out my work. Cheers, mate and keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to more of your vids!
That was a very fair comparison and review - thank you! I have a Penny Longboard which I am enjoying a lot, but would like to add a smaller board that has a better turning radius, which will facilitate traversing down the hills in my neighborhood. That said, I may have to go with a Dinghy or maybe a Tugboat. Thanks for the vid - liked and subscribed.
I dont make to much comm on YT, but you are the guy thx Ray i'm with that problem and you give me all the answers!!
Hello Luiz believe me that I really appreciate you taking the time to stop and type your comment. We're so busy in our life that we neglect to do that sometimes and it makes the hours of shooting and editing this worth it. If you like this video definitely check out my Landyachtz Tugboat review so slightly larger version but I've come to find that that doesn't necessarily mean it's better than the dinghy. If you get a chance to check it out let me know what you think and yes I tried to shoot my videos as if I'm watching it because too many skate reviews consists of a dude sitting at a table talking for 15 minutes and not riding LOL
Amazing job with the review! Camera quality and editing was absolutely flawless and it was an absolute joy to watch. Do you know the differences between the tugboat and the dinghy? I feel like the dinghy might be a little small for how tall I am (6 ft).
nasaman23 thank you nas I really appreciate it, I'm a big guy too I'm about 250 and six foot tall also and me and you are in the same boat, I've been talking to Landyachtz seeing if I could get them to send me one to review but they dont do that. If you think the dinghy may be too small the tug makes more sense. Strange thing about the tugboat is there's like three different boards that they use for it, it's 30 inches long some boards on 9 inch wide While others are 9.25 wide. the Bigfoot model is the original shape and size that I like and that's the one I may get. The way the trucks are tuned out the box is pretty perfect in my opinion I didn't feel the need to change bushings I only tightened up the back trucks because I was getting some wheel bite and I put some very thin risers on it. I appreciate you taking the time to comment because believe me it took probably over a week to shoot an edit that thing LOL
best review i have seen right here.
Hey thanks zero I appreciate it. What's crazy is I run a photography channel but this is the most popular video and blows everything else out the water, I should have started a bloody skate channel in the first place lol
Great review! Really enjoyed your style.
Awesome Moe thank you, I don't shoot a ton of skate videos but if you haven't seen it already a few months ago I posted a very detailed how to skate for adults tutorial you might dig that one also
your videos are all such good quality!!
Hello thank you. Gosh it takes weeks to put them together. I shoot it as if I was the one watching.
I needed this video as I was so set on penny but then I bought something different at skate shop he recommend the 28 inch Rad roller cruiser board and this confirmed that I think I’m more confident that I bought thta it’s worth mentioning I’m a first time skater. Thank you so much! If there’s any personal recomentaions you can make I would be so greatful
Thanks Ray! You're my favorite skater!
nice review, the quality and editing is really good and far above a lot of other reviews I've seen, super in depth, too
Yo big Elliot thanks man, means alot, you can tell it took me a few days to put it together. I love photography and skating, not exactly cohesive content but you gotta throw up what you know and love. thanks for taking the time to comment. im curious what led you to find this video?
I mean, I too love photography and skating so you may have a niche market here haha, I just found the video searching for reviews of the landyachtz dinghy as I wasn't sure if i should get it but after seeing your video I think I will
Elliot after riding them both I kinda never ise the penny anymore neither my longboard. the only thing i miss with the longboard are the wheels are a bit larger making them go over pebbles better. what i really want to see is a proper review of the Tugboat but theres not alot out there. one thing I did do with my dinghy was add a 1/8 riser pad, I found because im a big guy in extreme leans the back truck would bite and this stops it perfectly. let me know how you like it. what do you ride now?
Raychristofer I was riding a globe cutler (fantastic board, I highly recommend it) until it broke after a few years of good use and was just looking for a new board. if you were thinking of getting a new board you may want to consider getting one with wheel cut outs to stop getting wheelbite, they're super handy and quite common in a lot of board designs. after I get paid and get the cruiser I'll let you know how I feel about it haha
You have a point elliot because I notice the taller the riser the lower i have to step to push off and sometimes I feel it in the tendons the next day.
great vids man! love it
Hey man. Greetings from Malaysia. Love ur videos. Inspiringly good. Quick question. Which boards are faster between the two?
this video is a solid 11/10, very well made 🙌🏽
Thanks big bro. Much appreciate the love
Thank you very much for this video! Really insightful and very nice quality!
Word up Stanley. Thanks, I'm glad it was able to help. I had fun making it. respect.
Just seeing you skate down looks sooo fun!
Hey I'm going to tell you a secret, skating down that ramp at the end I have to do about 15 takes because each time I would pick up too much speed and of course I had to move the camera but thanks man I had fun making this video
Hey, great video! Could you maybe say anything about the weights of the boards? I have a Penny that I use for commuting and what I love about it is that it is so light to carry around. I'm considering upgrading to a Dinghy though.
Hello thanks. Yes the weight is something I never thought of. They're so close I don't think that would affect the choice of which one to carry. You can try the links in the description which should have detailed weight specs.
@@Raychristofer Landyachtz actually doesn't specify the weight on their site, that's where my question came from. Great to hear you don't feel a difference! Thank you for your fast response !
Got a Dinghy and I love it :D
@@RadioactiveSheep that's what's up bro, do a kick flip fo me!!
Nickel is great to carry... Less gripping...
I like how you use inches and centimeters in your dimensions. I have the same internal struggle.
This is a solid video.
Just bought a dinghy ;)
Word up my man thanks so much. Plz take a short Instagram video of it for me to see you shredding.
Hi, great video! I know I'm late to the party, but I'm planning on buying a cruiser board for upcoming summer. I initially wanted to get a Penny nickel (as it's a lot cheaper than most wooden cruisers here in Europe), but heard from someone Penny's are much more uncomfortable for your feet and less suitable for longer distances than Dinghy's for example. Was wondering if anyone else has that same experience and if I should maybe for once spend that extra money and go for a wooden board.
very nice viedo... thanks! 😊 I've ordered a Dinghy now.
This was very helpful, thanks for making it!
Thanks Phil, yeah man Landyatchtz need to sponsor you boy.
Better review than the shops selling them. Thank you!
What's up Stands Alone. I appreciate it. As time has passed I almost exclusively stick to the dinghy now. More and more I can feel my shoes slightly slipping on the plastic board. And the fact that I'm 240 pounds doesn't help the situation lol. Now, when I ride my long board It feels boring. Good looking out and thanks for the comment.
Thanks man for sharing your video. Was helpful.
You skate too!?! the man is simply amazing what can we Say! 😏
Hahahahaha Great review my man! Love it!
Whats up big Max, I didnt know you were a subscriber. Your taste in channels is only exceeded by your photography skillz. yeah I try to be diversified, the older we got the more we gotta go for it. peace.
I have the 2015 Cats and Knives Dinghy. Got into longboards coolin with the soccer team at UNC. A lot of people ride 40 inch sector 9 type boards around chapel hill. But when I went to Zumies, it was no question I was leaving with a dinghy. I think it the best mix between a classic skateboard and a longboard. My homeboy can Ollie my board atleast 2 feet. And Ollie onto any curb.
Hey Daisaun whats up, thanks man, yeah i ride this everyday even to get my phone when i forget it in the car. ollying is something I never learned which is a shame lol. im tempted to try the larger tugboat also.
It's never too late. I'm still working on my Ollies everyday haha. If you get the tugboat and do a review and ill def watch. Been wondering myself how they ride compared to the dinghy. Much live tho my dinghy brotha!
Another thing to note in relation to portability is that the Landyachz is 2.6kg and the nickle is 2kg
Wow man this is so well done. Instant subscribe
Hello thanks so much. Definitely check out my dinghy versus tugboat video also. Unfortunately my channel is about photography so I don't have a bunch of other skateboard reviews. I just don't have enough gear make a dedicated skate channel 😞
Raychristofer funnily enough, I’m getting into photo and video myself! So I’ll definitely check out some of those videos! I love your shooting and editing style it’s really nice
@@HieronymousLex thanks man, it takes a long time to shoot a video like this especially the last part skating down the overpass. I probably shot 16 takes and of course I couldn't do it all from top to bottom because I have to keep moving the camera but yes I've been running the channel over 10 years so I learned a lot by making tons of mistakes LOL
Just what I needed, thanks !
Sunil Wijesinghe Yeah man you're welcome. Ride on. Oh a couple months ago I did an update review of the Landyachtz Tugboat comparing it to the dingy you might want to check that one out also. Peace
Great review as always 👍
Hello thanks so much Chris Kermit
Great video. Very informative. I noticed your particular dingy has wheel flares on it, and not just wheel wells. How is it riding with wheel flares? Does it limit your foot stance, or make it less comfortable than a regular concave board would be? I have my eye on a Landyachtz board that has wheel flares, and since I've never road a board like that, I'm a little apprehensive about getting it. I've only ever ridden flat or concave. Any info would help. Thanks.
No thank you, you know now that I look at the wheel flares I realize I never felt them or paid them any attention when riding. They're like the slight curve of a woman and don't affect riding.
@@Raychristofer haha, thanks.
thanks main!! just got me a nickel not to sure at first but damn,, when u break it in its golden.. Much love all da way from Norway
Lars Ryan Pedersen good afternoon bro that's really good to hear. What I really like about it is how stable it is when cornering, I think that has something to do with the narrow trucks being not so Twitchy. I rarely get comments from Norway that's really cool I hope you have enough dry weather to use it often. Respect
Great review sir! I weigh 220lbs what kind of bushings did you use? Barrel/cone? And durometer?
Hello, im 250 and im using the stock bushings, in my opinion it doesnt need tuning beyond adjusting the kingpin tension
Great review! Just came across this one. I want to get a penny at some point for cruising, but know nothing about this side of skating. Definitely helpful!
Awesome my man, glad it was helpful. definitely check out my how to skate tutorial I put up about a month ago it might be beneficial also
@@Raychristofer Yes I previously watched the how to skate adult tutorial. Another great one! Keep it up!
@@SkatingwithAaron my bad, I don't know how I didn't recognize your name. I actually sent a few of my subscribers links to your channel a few days ago when they were asking for tips on how to do tricks. I'm a tiny bit jealous of your skills man, you're like the jock with the prom queen lol.
@@Raychristofer Ha, no problem. Just means you're being active on here which is great! I really appreciate you doing that! Hopefully I can help them out! And man you're too funny on the jock/ prom queen! Cracking me up!
very nicely made video! good work!
Hello thank you, this is my most popular video it's running wild.
Thank you so much! I am new to the sport. I have heard so much about both brands, it's hard to make a decision.
Hello howard how are you? thanks so much. if youre not sure I say go for the dinghy. its solid in every way and more responsive due to the stiff deck.
@@Raychristofer I really appreciate your advice! I've defiantly been leaning toward something from Landyachtz. I think the Dinghy looks like a good board for someone like me who isn't into tricks yet.
@@ahoward3503 So far the only trick I can do is riding off a curb and sometimes I have to psych myself up for that
@@Raychristofer I'm working on using my body to steer and turn right now to get a nice smooth ride. So far so good. I most certainly have the time to practice at home, since that is where I have to be right now!
@@ahoward3503 awesome man you're welcome to shoot a short phone clip and send me I'd like to see how you're doing also of you're not scared lol, by the way I use more ankle tilt and let your body lean to react
Great review, please keep it up!
Thanks Kyle, I dont get alot of skate gear to review but as you can see I dont mess around when it comes to reviewing them. thanks for taking the time to comment.
Nice review! I have a small Dusters California cruiser, but I'm interested in checking out a Dinghy. Might have to check out my local surf shop that has longboards and cruisers.
Hello thanks how areyou? That's a good idea to check out your local shop because I was on vacation and went into a Ron Jon surf shop and wound up buying both of these
@@Raychristofer Hey there
Things are well with me. Hope things are going well on your end.
Haha, cool story about how you picked these up! I picked up my cruiser board from a skate shop that was more geared toward street skateboarding, so there wasn't much selection for what I was after at the time. It's been serving me well, so no regrets.
Hey man, great vid! (your tugboat vid was really dope too). I'm looking into getting either the dinghy or the tugboat and i know this might be kid of a weird question, but how tall are you? You seem like a bigger guy and you still got around really good on the dinghy, but I'm just trying to gauge how I would compare to you size wise on the board. Thanks, and keep it up with whatever vids you do in the future!
Thanks bro I'm 6.0 . I'm tempted to get a one wheel pint also despite the price
@@Raychristofer Thx man, that helps a lot. I was skeptical of the dinghy's size, but knowing this I think I've got more confidence in that little board : )
Thank you for sharing this video!
Excellent review bro. Cheers from Brazil
Thank you Bruno, yes i tried to make it informative but entertaining as possible. respect.
i picked up a landyachtz pugboat because of this review being a bigger dude i was skeptical but its doing awesome
its incredible man no flex at all. check out my latest how to skate tutorial
Man, you're doing good. I'm 59 I like long boarding now. I like cruising all over the place on my longboard . Teaching my twelve year old daughter. Cant get it out of me even though my knees hurt. 🤟😎
Great video! I would love to see more skate videos! Where was it shot?
Hello thanks so much for that comment. The crazy thing is this is a photography channel but my two skate videos are more popular than anything else. Believe me if I had more gear to test o would start a skate channel. I'm in South Florida and this was shot in fort Lauderdale.
What a great review! Thanks!
Word up kimmy, thanks, glad it helped.
Amazing video. The quality is pristine.
Very insightful, thank you!
Killer man thanks for checking it out. I posted too Short skate videos recently and I'm working on a much more ambitious one for the upcoming weeks
Really great rewiew Thankz
Thanks so much brother bmx. I dedicate this vid to you. Respect
