Longboarding is a sport and recreational activity that involves riding a long, stable skateboard designed for smooth cruising, downhill racing, or performing tricks.

Different styles of longboarding include downhill, freestyle, and cruising, each requiring balance and skill. Riders use techniques like carving, sliding, and foot braking to control speed and direction.
