Designer Joey Ruiter has already treated us with some cool products like the Growler City Bike and the Inner City Bike. Now, he has decided to dedicate his attention to the skateboard and this effort has resulted with the Lo-Ruiter Longboard. This board features innovative, futuristic design and it’s meant to resemble a hoverboard and give the rider an impression of floating. The deck is made from molded maple and carbon fiber and supported by Arbor MOSH wheels.

The Lo-Ruiter Longboard is both sophisticated and functional. Designer Joey Ruiter says that the beauty of skateboarding comes from its simplicity and that’s exactly what he wanted to keep, despite the futuristic hoverboard-like looks. This skateboard stays true to its nature and provides an amazing experience.  The deck is large enough to allow for multiple positions, as well as walking front to back and riding switch. The top of the board features cutout shapes that allow you to see the wheels while riding and make carrying the board a breeze.
