Surf One Beirut Review

Get a little more “down to earth” with the very versatile and durable Surf One Beirut Complete Longboard which is a great combination of handy features and competitive pricing. Because longboarding has gone mainstream within the past decade, Surf One has taken on the challenge of becoming the most sought after longboard brand in the sports gear industry. Surf One decks are specifically designed to withstand the life of a skateboarder, regardless of the boarding style, and the Beirut is no exception. This board is designed as a classic cruiser. The long and flat shape makes this board ideal for city & campus cruising.

The versatile Surf One Beirut Longboard is just the piece of hardware you need to cruise on day after day. Rack ‘em up and try to concentrate because this smooth ride is no joke. It measures 43.75 inches long by 9 inches wide and comes complete and fully assembled.

Additionally, all Surf One manufactured products are warranted against delamination and/or manufacturing defects for the useful life of the skateboard. If you feel your skateboard or components are defective, you may send it back to Surf One, freight prepaid. The company will inspect it and let you know of its findings. If Surf One decides your skateboard was defective or failed to give reasonable service, it will replace your deck with a similar, available skateboard of the same or better condition and pay for the shipping back to you.
