Globe Costa Complete Skateboard
Riders searching globe australia cruiser or globe cruisers are looking for a complete cruiser like the Costa, a ready to ride skateboard from Globe Australia's Cruisers lineup.
What Makes It a Cruiser
This is a complete cruiser skateboard, meaning the deck, trucks, wheels, and bearings all come assembled and ready to ride rather than sold as separate parts. Cruiser decks are built for rolling around rather than technical tricks, favoring a comfortable stance and smooth ride over park style performance.
Who It Is For
- Riders who want an easy way to get around a neighborhood, boardwalk, or campus
- Skaters coming from a longboard or standard deck who want a shorter, more maneuverable cruiser
- South Florida riders who want a board for casual transportation between the beach, home, and everyday errands
Riding, Breaking In, and Caring for a Cruiser
- Check that all truck and hardware bolts are snug before your first ride
- Expect a short break in period as the bearings and bushings loosen up with regular riding
- Rinse or wipe down wheels and bearings after riding near sand or saltwater spray
- Periodically re-tighten hardware and check wheels for wear
About Globe
Globe traces back to the mid 1980s, when Melbourne's Hill brothers, Stephen, Peter, and Matt, began designing, producing, and distributing third party boardsports brands in Australia through Hardcore Enterprises. That work grew into Globe, a global boardsports brand of their own, starting with shoes for skaters and surfers in the mid 1990s before expanding into apparel and hardgoods.
