Original Skateboards Torpedo 40

I want to change the wheels - click here

Flex, forgiveness and style


The Torpedo 40 was designed for those looking to cruise, while maintaining more control than a longer longboard can traditionally provide. Combined with Original S6 or S8 trucks, the Torpedo is an ideal longboard for anyone looking to kick back and cruise their way to the beach or down to the corner store. The Torpedo keeps you in full control and makes a fantastic first longboard for beginner, intermediate and advanced cruising oriented riders.

Torpedo 40 Design

Flex is one of the key driving forces in longboarding, but keeping things balanced is the key to a confident ride. The Torpedo was designed to flex and forgive making balance recovery and stance changes easier than ever. On the Torpedo, your carving sins and misteps will be forgiven.

Fit in control

Get locked in. Full nose to tail concave keeps the Torpedo tied to your feet, while the board's flex makes sure that fit is as comfortable as your favorite slip-ons. Feel the difference a response oriented concave can make in your longboarding.

Cruise the strip

A cruise oriented design leaves plenty of room for board walking and nose riding. Throw caution to the wind and and exercise your personal style; the Torpedo's wide wheel base and expansive deck leave the door open for total longboarding creativity. Put the cruise back on your local longboard strip.

Kicktail snub nose

With all that room for board walking and stance changing, you need to know where your longboard is under your feet. The Torpedo utilizes a full kicktail and a subtle nose flair to let you know when you are getting near the tip or the tail. The kicktail also adds curb dropping to your arsenal, making city cruising much easier.

How it Rides

The Torpedo was designed as a cruising longboard with the heart of a carver. A fantastic trasport / commuter board, the Torpedo excels on the flats and can be equipped with larger S8 or S10 trucks to rip the biggest hills. The Torpedo is one of our all time best sellers, after cruising around town on this laid back carver, it is easy to see why.

Cruise the neighborhood

Whether you are looking out on the pristine double-wide paved beauty of a newly developed street or the tightly woven sidewalks of suburbia, the Torpedo delivers the tight turning radius and flex powered longboard carves you need to have fun near home, where ever that home may be. With a wheelbase ideal for learning, get a Torpedo longboard and leave your bike at home the next time you run out to the store.

City approved

Longboarding in the city is cost effective and fun. With a mindset for transportation, the Torpedo makes city riding easy. A wide wheelbase keeps you stable for distance riding while a tight turning radius makes transitioning from traffic snarled streets to the sidewalk and back again easier than ever. The Torpedo keeps you safe and in control with all the precision required for the city streets.

Torpedo the park

The Torpedo can punch its weight, even in the parks and bowls. Stay off the tail and make use of the tight turning radius keeping all four wheels on the wall. With a little practice, and a good roll-in, the Torpedo will flow with the best of them, even if dropping in isn't in it's vocabulary.
