America's First High Speed Skateboard Rail
The Santa Cruz Slimeline Rails set the standard for skateboard rail technology. Built as America's first high speed rail (HSR), these rails combine a purpose-engineered beveled 3D contour shape with a super-fast, durable high density material that outperforms traditional flat-profile rails in every category. If you want protection that does not slow you down or drag on surfaces, the Slimeline is the one.
Beveled 3D Contour Construction
The defining feature of the Slimeline is its all-new beveled 3D contour profile. Rather than a flat bottom that creates friction on slides and grinds, the contoured shape lets you move through tricks faster with less resistance. The pre-drilled mounting holes line up cleanly with standard deck screw patterns, making installation straightforward. Each set comes as a matched pair so both sides of your board are protected and balanced.
High Density HSR Material
Santa Cruz engineered the Slimeline with a high density polymer compound built to handle repeated impact from concrete, metal, and wood surfaces. The material resists cracking, gouging, and deformation over time, which means your rails stay functional and your deck edge stays protected through heavy use. The slim profile keeps added weight minimal while still delivering the protection rails are designed for.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are skateboard rails used for?
- Skateboard rails are plastic strips mounted along the underside edges of a deck. They protect the board's graphic and edges from wear during slides and grinds, and on HSR designs like the Santa Cruz Slimeline they also reduce friction so tricks flow faster.
- What makes the Santa Cruz Slimeline a high speed rail?
- The Slimeline uses a beveled 3D contour profile instead of a flat bottom, which reduces surface contact and drag during slides. Combined with a high density material, the result is a rail that lets you move through tricks with noticeably less resistance than standard flat-profile rails.
- How do you install Santa Cruz Slimeline Rails?
- The rails come pre-drilled to align with standard deck screw hole patterns. Use the existing hardware holes on the underside of your deck and fasten each rail with the appropriate screws. No additional drilling is required for most standard decks.
- Do the Santa Cruz Slimeline Rails come as a pair?
- Yes. Each purchase includes a matched pair of rails, one for each side of the deck, so both edges are protected and the board stays balanced.
- Are the Santa Cruz Slimeline Rails durable enough for street skating?
- Yes. The high density material is engineered to withstand repeated contact with concrete, metal ledges, and wood surfaces without cracking or deforming, making them well suited for both street and skatepark use.
