FISH BOARDS

FISHBOARDS: What is it?


A fishboard - the little sister of a traditional board.

One of the most popular skateboards from California is the fishboard. How is the fishboard different from regular skateboards?

First of all, the fishboard is significantly smaller than a regular skateboard: it is very compact and measures between 53 cm and 63 cm in length, making it super easy to transport. You can easily carry it in your backpack. The small size of the fishboard gives it an extra angle - it is perfect for children.

The fishboard is quite unique - it is slightly tapered and is designed to mimic the shape of a fish. It is this shape that makes the fishboard ideal for fast skaters. But let's be honest: if you are at a skate park and using a ramp, a traditional longboard is what will give you more speed.

 



A Fishboard Compared to a Traditional Skateboard: Differences

Shape and size are not the only features that distinguish a fishboard from a traditional skateboard. Unlike conventional longboards, the fishboard is made from synthetic material. This makes it lightweight and easy to clean, as well as quite durable. A deck made from synthetic material tends to be slippery, which is why most fishboards come with an additional anti-slip layer.

Another difference between the fishboard and a regular skateboard is the price, making the fishboard an excellent purchase for those just starting out with skateboarding.

FISH BOARD: The Structure

The construction of a fishboard is very straightforward, with the main elements being:

  • The Deck: Movino.pl offers fishboards with decks made from synthetic PP material that have an additional anti-slip layer.

  • The Track: This is the part where the bearings and wheels are mounted. Movino.pl provides fishboards with sturdy, load-bearing aluminum tracks that are adjustable, allowing you to customize the board to your individual skating style.

  • Steering Bushings: Movino fishboards feature cool-looking neon-colored steering bushings made from polyurethane.

  • Wheels: The wheels of Movino fishboards are made from extremely durable and high-traction polyurethane.

  • Bearings: Movino fishboards come equipped with high-quality ABEC7 bearings.

Fishboards: Purpose

Fishboards are designed for recreational skating in urban environments. They are perfect for short rides—such as commuting from home to work or school—and work well on hard, flat surfaces like sidewalks. Fishboards are suitable for both adults and children; however, due to their size, the "chosen rider" will most likely be the youngest family member. :)

Whether a fishboard is a good idea for beginners who are just starting to explore tricks and acrobatics in the skate park is debatable. Many people use fishboards for this purpose, although it's not entirely without risks. For tricks, a professional skateboard is definitely more suitable.

A Fishboard as a Cool Accessory

A fishboard is much more than just a miniature skateboard; it has become a trendy accessory among teenagers and children. Young people bring their fishboards to school to show off the colors and designs—it’s just another way for them to express themselves.

And we at Movino understand that! That’s why our fishboards come in so many colors! Some are even equipped with LEDs!

A fishboard can be used by both children and adults. It’s great for beginners and makes an excellent gift idea! Your child, niece, or nephew will love it!

FAQ

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsumis simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Where does it come from?

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.
