Santa Cruz Mini Haka cruiser skateboard. With blue and clear stripes this is one classy cruiser complete. The best thing is that it is ready to ride out of the box.No assembly required with this mini cruiser. Just buy and ride! Note: Components such as trucks and wheels may differ in color from those shown in photo.
Other than the general specs and one video, I could find zero information/reviews/forums on this board before i purchased it, so i thought i would put some out there. i hope you find it somewhat useful.
i really just wanted a cruiser board for the neighborhood. I'm not interested in tricks or bombing hills. I believe this board will be exactly what i want; a board sized like a traditional street board but with the smooth ride of a longboard. The components are ok with ABEC 3 bearings, bullet trucks and OJ III wheels. They'll do for what i want, and one can't expect too much more from a board in this price range.
Some key dimensions that i was curious of prior to purchasing (some from below were included in general specs on the website):
Length-31.00 in.
Width-8.00 in.
Wheels Centerline to Centerline-17.50 in.
Width of trucks including wheels-7.75 in.
Diameter of wheels-2.38 in.
Width of wheels-1.75 in.
The slightly concave deck is stiff and has a kick nose and tail. The spray- on grip seems fine but prone to wear and the board's finish is decent.
I'll try to update this review after i get some time on the board and break in the wheels and trucks. They feel a bit stiff, but that's to be expected when purchased new.
I'd recommend this for the average leisure skater looking for a fun ride. If you're a more experienced rider, the components of this board might leave some things to be desired.
Overall, i believe this board will serve me well as a smooth, affordable cruiser. i can't wait to rip some ass-phault in my neighborhood tomorrow!
Have fun and be safe!
my first cruzer/longboard ever, and i managed to learn how to ride this board in a matter of hours, its really smooth. the trucks needed a bit of loosening to be able to carve, overall great board, excellant for beginners!
Pros - Easy to pick up and ride
- cheap
Cons - have to loosen trucks to be able to carve
love this board got it yesterday its my first board and it dose everything i need it to im just looking for something nice to cruise and this is perfect its a little stiff at first needs some looseing other that that its very nice one other thing the finish might start to wear eventually i will find out soon enough
This cruiser is great!! This was my first board and i picked it up right away. It is great for riding and bombing hills. I cant do tricks i can just ride but my friends can and if you are good you can. My friend landed an ollie, shove it and a kickfip!!! It can go pretty fast but i was thinking about getting new bearings but every thing else is fine. A little stiff but it breaks in. I would recommend for any one who wants to ride and wants to have fun to buy this affordable cruiser! Have fun and be safe.

Its not a begginer longboard idiot its for anyone......
So, I recently taken an interest in longboarding in cruising ( regular skating just isn't enough for me) and I saw this. My freinds have cruisers, but this is just amazing. Once you get used to it, you can carve and bomb all you want.
Fantastic cruiser!! I always get compliments from other kids even my teachers. The only thing is that rolling over glass and sharp stuff has cut up the wheels so now there small junks missing, but nothing to worry about. I'm 17, this is the first board I've ever owned and I couldn't be any happier with my purchase!!
p.s. after doing constant tricks on the board the bottle opener fell off :(
