Longboarding is a fun hobby and a great way to get around town. There is nothing more exciting than cruising the streets with the wind on a longboard. But you need to take care of your board to keep it functional and extend its lifespan. Maintenance tips are as follows:

Take care of your bearings

Bearings have to be taken care of when you want your longboard to function properly and last as long as possible. When your bearings start to squeak, it's time to clean them.

Scrub Decks and Tape

While you should avoid exposing your longboard to water, such as in the rain or in a puddle, this is not always feasible. If it does get wet, try to dry the deck as quickly as possible. When it's time to clean your board, use soapy water and a nylon brush to remove all dust and grime from your board deck.

After brushing the board, rinse off the soapy water with a sponge. Wipe the deck with a towel when you're done, then let it dry on its own for about four hours to make sure the deck is completely dry.
