The Board

The Freebyrd is a symmetrical cutaway drop through longboard, aimed at the beginner.

It features a super-comfortable rockered profile and a nice responsive flex.

Drop-Through Trucks

The Freebyrd Woodgrain features drop-through truck mounting.

This means that the trucks are mounted through the deck via the top of the truck baseplate, rather than on the bottom of the baseplate like a regular skateboard or longboard.

This results in:

  • lower deck height = easier to push and footbrake
  • lower center of gravity = more stable at speed
  • lower ride height in relation to the wheels = slides become easier to initiate and control

All these characteristics make the Freebyrd a perfect beginner longboard. It’s great for learning longboarding basics and learning to slide.

Rockered Profile

For a lower ride height and a more comfortable board feel, we’ve pressed the Freebyrd Woodgrain in our rocker mold.

The rockered profile and the drop-through truck mounting combine to make a lower profile than most other longboards out there.

We use rocker on this board because it feels great under your feet. This isn’t something that a lot of other board companies care about, but to us it’s everything.

Why?

Because we know that if a board feels good under your feet, you’ll skate it more.

The flex and the drop-through trucks work together to create a comfortable cruiser that will also do a bit of dancing and sliding if you want.

Learn more about what rocker is and does right here.

A Premium Setup

We build the Freebyrd up with Sabre Trucks, bushings and bearings, and Cult Wheels. Many cheaper drop-through longboards out there come with no-name or inferior brand undercarriage.

If we’re honest, it’s the undercarriage – especially the trucks – that really makes the difference to how well a longboard skates.

We’ve also treated this board to a custom die-cut griptape job with a top logo, which makes it a bit easier to see (and feel!) where your feet are on the board when you’re skating it.

With the Freebyrd Woodgrain, you’re getting a premium setup – it’ll feel awesome underfoot, straight out of the box.

The Ideal Cruiser Board

The Freebyrd Woodgrain is a great all-rounder, perfect for nipping to the shops, learning to slide or just cruising around.

 

It has a flexy ride thanks to the rockered maple construction, giving great energy return from carving turns and a smooth ride over rougher road surfaces.

If you’re looking for a drop-through longboard cruiser – you are in the right place!

This was my first board of any kind and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone who wants to get into skating but isn’t sure what type of longboard to get. Honestly a brilliant board to try a bit of everything on.

 by Eléa

I’ve had the board for about a month now. I’m a beginner, but instantly felt comfortable on this board. I progressed rapidly after just one day of going around the backroads of North Wales. It’s super smooth, quiet and accelerates well. Excellent service and postage.

 by Mike Q

This board would not be out of place hanging on the walls of the louvre in Paris!
When at the tender age of 50 I found myself asking if I could still ride, it turns out I can, I don’t think its due to muscle memory as I last rode 38 years ago! It’s down to this Board and the excellent attention to detail and design, most people think I’m mad picking this sport up again, but living in Bristol it had to be “Lush”, well done guys, I think I will collect the set.

Just received this board. I’m in the USA and am amazed at how quickly it arrived. It arrived in perfect shape! It’s absolutely beautiful. Can’t wait to set it up. What a gem.Cheers!

 by Manon

I was so confused about which board to pick but with the help of Adam and a quick phone call I decided to go for the Freebyrd Lo-Pro. It arrived quickly and it is incredible. I have country roads and it rides so smoothly. I am a beginner and I’m obsessed with my new longboard! Would definitely recommend buying!!

 by Kelly Buxton

Such a great ride, very smooth and responsive. Arrived sooner than expected too!

 by Martyn Fisher

This is our daughters second long board from you guys, she also has the Legend X-Flex. Excellent service, safely packaged and an unbelievable quality board. She is loving it and looking forward to learning some different skills on the new board. As always, the personal touch, hand written message and stickers from Adam let you know you are dealing with a quality business who value what they do and you as a customer. Stickers are now on the old beat up board, Sophie isnt ready to deface the beautiful wood of the new one just yet! Thanks guys, see you in another twelve months when she has washed enough pots to afford to add to her growing collection! Sorry this review isnt really about the board itself but I'm just a 50yr old dad with a bad back and a fear of tarmac hitting my face!

love it so cool keep up the good work

 by Harley Goundry

I've just taking up longboarding, so this is my 1st board. But that said I'm gaining confidence quickly seems a stable board at most speeds. I did get speed wobbles at one point but I think that's because of my low skill level, not the board. Overall I'm very happy with the board and the service from the guys at lush longboards. Cheers dudes

I bought my board a year ago and he's (I named him Sanchez) been a faithful companion so far. Light, stable down a hill and really fun to push around town. Don't let the camber scare you off (I originally wanted to learn on a rocker), once you get used to it you'll appreciate the extra flex! One thing I will say is those 63mm Acid Drop wheels are a bit on the small side for the quality of pavement where I live, but I picked up some dirt cheap 76mm offset wheels in Barcelona for pennies, and now Sanchez is a monster truck!

 by Rob

Bought this deck as my son had his xmas present snapped by a car running over it. we visited the shop and Adam fitted the new deck. i cant praise the service highly enough, deck fitted, bearings adjusted, lots of good tips. These guys know their subject, ask them for advice and let them carve the right path for you. Remember, you aren't just buying a board, you are getting advice and support in the deal.

 by Phil

Just beautiful. Bought two for my nephews to start their journey down the hill. Everything I expected and more. The lads at Lushlongboards couldn't have done a better job. (Cheers Adam)

 by Callum

Bourght the board as a replacement deck. Put my own 76mm 78a wheels one with bones red bearings and swapped out the bushing for sabre's. It rides beautifully and changing the bushings has really made a difference to turning capability. The quality of the deck is exellent and shape is simple but great. I was really please with the postage time and the free bits in there. I think I will deffinetly be coming back to Lush if I need any parts or boards in the future!

 by Matt Bird

The Freebyrd is a really nice cruiser, perfect for both a causal skate along the coast and for a quick dart through town. Its really nice and flexy making it very responsive with some good pump. Although I am not a beginner, it would definitely be great for one, especially for the price!

 by E Weaver

I absolutely love my Freebyrd - ideal beginner board.

Lush Longboards Freebyrd Woodgrain FAQ's

  • Question: Is this board good for learning to slide?

    - Yes! This is a great first place to start learning to slide. Once you;ve got it down you might want something with a bit more concave and a stiffer deck - so if you can stretch to it, a Symbian 3D is worth looking into.

  • Question: Can this deck be topmounted?

    - Yes, of course. This is a great option if you want to put some bigger wheels on like Orangatang Kegels or Cult Raptures for a smoother ride. We haven't really tested this out with that many setups, so watch out for wheelbite!

  • Question: Can you use the Freebyrd for dancing and tricks?

    - Yes, there is enough of a nose/tail to flip the board if you want to. But if you're really stoked on this kind of longboarding, we recommend that you check out that the Symbian 3D, which features a much stronger construction and more aggressive kicktails.

  • Question: I am considering the Lush Freebyrd as a complete beginner for cruising and carving and attempting to improve my surfing. The Samba is out of my budget, and I'm not interested in learning to slide. How turny is the Freebyrd as standard and what upgrades can I buy to improve it's carving performance?

    - The Freebyrd is a great longboard for beginners - it's designed to skate as well as it can for those looking to buy a cheap longboard setup.

    We've found over the years that the most important thing on a cheap longboard complete is the trucks. It's the trucks that give you that carving feeling - more expensive trucks tend to come with higher-specced bushings, closer tolerances on the pivots, and a refined geometry. In our opinion, if you're really looking for the best bang for you buck, trucks should be the last thing you skimp on.

    With this in mind, it's really worth checking out the Pro and Elite setups, which come with come with Sabre trucks as standard. Whilst this isn't going to compete with the Samba in terms of out-and-out carving performance, you would not believe the difference that this will make compared to other cheap longboards out there!

  • Question: Hey, Just wondering, how much does this complete set up weigh? Looking for a light board to start out on. Cheers!

    - The complete Freebyrd comes in around around 3.1-3.2kgs.
