Penny Board 27 inch
What is a Penny 27'' board?
The Penny 27'' is a slightly longer mini cruiser that combines the compact feel of small plastic boards with added stability and comfort. With a length of approximately 68.5 cm, it provides more foot space than the classic mini models while still being easy to carry, store, and take on the bus or train.
This board is ideal for commuting, cruising, and relaxed rides through the city. The soft wheels and flexible deck construction deliver a smooth ride on uneven surfaces, paving stones, and asphalt. The Penny 27'' appeals to both beginners and experienced skaters who want a compact and easy-to-ride everyday board.
How to choose the right Penny 27''
When choosing a Penny 27'' board, it’s mainly about finding the model that suits your body, skill level, and how you plan to use the board in your daily life.
- Size and foot space: The length of approximately 68.5 cm offers more stability than smaller boards around 56 cm and is often a better option for larger feet or beginners.
- Wheel hardness and size: Soft, relatively large wheels roll more smoothly over cracks and small stones, ensuring greater comfort on longer rides.
- Trucks and stability: Wide and solid trucks provide a more stable setup, which is beneficial for commuting and for those still learning to cruise confidently.
- Comfort and flex: A deck with slight flex absorbs vibrations from the surface and feels more comfortable underfoot over longer distances.
- Design and colours: Penny boards come in several style variations, so choose a look you’ll enjoy riding every day to ensure you actually use it.
If you’re completely new, the Penny 27'' offers a great balance between manoeuvrability and forgiving ride characteristics. If you’re more experienced, you’ll get a fast and playful board that’s still stable enough for daily transport.
Use, skill level and everyday comfort
The Penny 27'' is perfect for short and medium-distance rides to school, university, work, or just cruising with friends. Its compact size makes it easy to alternate between riding and carrying, and the plastic deck is built to withstand everyday urban use.
For beginners, the extra length provides greater balance stability, especially when learning to push, brake, and make small turns. Experienced skaters will appreciate the quick response and ability for tight turns, carving, and quick manoeuvres on cycle paths and promenades. Compared to a regular skateboard, it’s light and comfortable to carry.
If you’re ready to move forward, you can choose the Penny mini cruiser that best matches your style and level, making it a reliable and comfortable everyday means of transport.
