Landyachtz Dinghy Classic in Wave. 28.5" x 8" 7-ply Canadian maple, medium cave concave, 105mm Polar Bear trucks, 63mm 78a Fatty Hawgs wheels, Spaceball bearings. Over 20 years of getting it right — still the one.
The Dinghy Classic is the board that built Landyachtz's reputation and it hasn't needed a reinvention since. For over 20 years it has been the compact cruiser that riders keep coming back to — short enough to stash in a backpack or on a crowded bus, wide enough to feel stable underfoot, and set up with components that were chosen specifically for this shape rather than just bolted on to hit a price point. The Wave colourway features artwork by San Diego artist Nathan Ledyard — a clean, flowing graphic that sits as well on a wall as it does under a foot.
At 28.5" x 8" with a 14.6" wheelbase, the Classic Dinghy is sized for maximum manoeuvrability without sacrificing the foot space that makes cruising comfortable. The 7-ply Canadian maple is sourced from the finest Eastern Canadian veneers and pressed stiff — light, poppy, and built to handle years of daily skating without losing its character. Medium cave concave keeps your feet planted through carves without becoming aggressive over longer rides, and sanded wheel wells expand wheel size compatibility beyond the standard setup. The 105mm Polar Bear trucks deliver the tightest turning circle of any truck in this class, and the 63mm 78a Fatty Hawgs wheels are the benchmark cruiser wheel in the Landyachtz lineup — soft enough to absorb cracks and rough pavement, fast enough to keep rolling between pushes. Spaceball bearings have washers and spacers built into the inner race so you never lose them.
Landyachtz has been skater-owned and operated out of Vancouver, Canada since 1997. They design their own trucks, pour their own urethane through the Hawgs brand, and plant a tree for every board sold through their One Board One Tree programme. The Dinghy Classic is the board that proves you don't need to overcomplicate something that already works.
