Abstract: A skateboard that simulates the feel and ride of a long board surfboard, comprising: an elongated deck, having a flat front section, a convex central portion, and a flat rear section which is elevated. A front truck assembly is secured to the flat front section of the elongated deck. A wheel block is mounted adjacent to the convex central portion of the elongated deck, and a large wheel is operably secured within the wheel block. A rear truck assembly is secured to the elevated flat rear section of the elongated deck, the rear truck assembly being elevated above the convex central portion of the elongated deck, thereby allowing the skateboard to be balanced by the front truck assembly and the wheel unless the skateboard is turned abruptly to the left or right.
