Globe Restless Complete Skateboard
Globe Restless Complete Skateboard
Globe has been building boards with serious intent since the mid-1980s, when the Hill brothers launched Hardcore Enterprises in Melbourne, Australia and began designing and distributing boardsports product. By the mid-1990s, Globe had grown into a full global brand spanning shoes, apparel, and hardgoods for skaters and surfers alike. The Restless Complete carries that heritage forward in a package that is ready to ride the moment it leaves the box.
Old-School Cruiser Shape
The Restless is built on a wide, old-school-inspired cruiser template. The deck is noticeably wider than a standard street popsicle, giving you a stable, planted platform underfoot that translates naturally from surf to skate. The shape rewards carving, cruising, and relaxed freestyle skating just as comfortably as it handles transitions and mellow ramp sessions.
Bamboo Construction
The deck features a bamboo veneer construction, visible in the natural grain that runs the length of the graphic face. Bamboo is stiffer per unit of weight than traditional maple and has a lively, responsive snap that keeps the board from feeling dead under foot. Globe combines the bamboo layer with their standard construction process to produce a deck that is both durable and distinctively lightweight for its width.
Globe Complete Setup
Everything is assembled and dialed so you can skate immediately. Globe specifies the trucks, wheels, bearings, hardware, and grip tape as a matched system built for the deck's geometry. The silver aluminum trucks visible on the board are proportionally sized for the wider platform. The wheels are large enough to roll over cracks and rough pavement smoothly, making this a natural choice for street cruising as well as the skatepark.
Graphic and Finish
The Bamboo/Subterrain graphic features bold abstract shapes and a peace symbol motif set against the natural bamboo grain of the deck face. The underside carries matching grip tape printed with a peace symbol graphic. It is a board that looks as deliberate as it rides.
Who the Restless Is For
The Restless Complete suits skaters who want a wider, more surf-inspired ride without sacrificing skatepark capability. It is a strong first complete for someone graduating from a learner board, and an equally solid second board for an experienced street skater who wants a dedicated cruiser in the quiver. Globe's decades of boardsports development mean the spec choices are deliberate, not commodity.
