Looking for a longboard that's like a giant symmetrical skateboard or close to it. (fedia.io)

I want to get a longboard for cruising that's basically just a giant skateboard so I can transfer my existing skateboarding skills to a longboard.

Something with big wheels that would make a decent commuter would be ideal.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Edit: Thanks everyone! I think I'm going to go with the Arbor Shakedown. Going to keep this up in case others have suggestions for people in the future (or maybe I'll need a backup board lol)

Update: Aw shit, I went with the Arbor Shakedown but it's basically a normal sized board. That said, I'm still probably going to keep it because it seems like a pretty nice cruiser. Guess I'll have to pick up a long board some other time.

Feel free to make more suggestions, I'm still in the market lol

Loaded boards do cruisers too, along with a ton of other formats. They also own ( I think) Orangatang who does bushings and wheels.

I personally roll a Land Yachtz board with Paris trucks and 80 mm Kegel wheels by Orangatang. Even without ceramic bearings, the thing rolls for days.

I definitely recommend Pantheon as well, they make some beautiful boards

You're the second to recommend Pantheon, they look cool but aren't really the shape I'm looking for.
