Penny Board 27 inch
What is a Penny 27'' board?
The Penny 27'' is a slightly longer mini cruiser that combines the compact, responsive feel of smaller plastic boards with extra stability and comfort. Measuring around 68.5 cm in length, it provides more foot room than the classic mini models while remaining light, portable, and convenient to carry on the bus or train.
This board is ideal for commuting, cruising, and relaxed rides around town. The soft wheels and flexible deck design offer a smooth ride, even on uneven roads, paving stones, and asphalt. The Penny 27'' appeals to both beginners and experienced skaters who want a compact, easy-to-handle board for everyday use.
How to choose the right Penny 27''
When selecting a Penny 27'' board, it mainly comes down to finding the option that suits your physique, skill level, and how you plan to use it day to day.
- Size and foot space: The length of approximately 68.5 cm offers more stability than smaller boards of about 56 cm, making it a great choice for beginners or those with larger shoe sizes.
- Wheel hardness and size: Soft, relatively large wheels roll easily over cracks and small stones, ensuring smoother and more comfortable rides over longer distances.
- Trucks and stability: Wider, sturdier trucks give a more stable ride – ideal for commuting or for anyone still building confidence at cruising.
- Comfort and flex: A deck with light flex helps absorb surface vibrations, providing a comfortable feel underfoot during extended use.
- Design and colours: Penny boards come in a variety of styles and designs, so choose one that matches your personal taste to ensure you enjoy every ride.
If you’re new to skating, the Penny 27'' offers a great balance between manoeuvrability and forgiving handling. For more experienced riders, it offers a quick, playful board that remains steady enough for everyday travel.
Use, skill level and everyday comfort
The Penny 27'' is well suited for short to medium rides to school, college, work, or simply cruising with friends. Its compact design makes it easy to switch between riding and carrying, and the sturdy plastic deck can handle regular urban use.
For beginners, the added length helps with balance, particularly when learning to push, brake, and turn. Experienced riders will value the sharp response and ability to carve or make tight turns along cycle paths and promenades. Compared to a standard skateboard, it’s lightweight and easy to carry around.
When you’re ready to move up, choose the Penny mini cruiser that best suits your style and level – a reliable and comfortable choice for everyday travel.
