Longboard equipment is very similar to skateboard equipment. It is most common for longboarder skateboarders to wear gloves and a helmet. Wrist, elbow,and knee protection are always recommended. longboard skateboarders also in the sliding discipline, riders wear "slide gloves" which are a specialized sliding glove made out of a strong material such as leather that has plastic pucks adhered to the palm.

Most longboards skateboards measure between 90 and 150 cm (35.4-60 inches). Shorter boards may still be referred to as longboards when their main purpose is inline with that of longboarding (i.e. downhill & cruising). There are several different shapes of longboards including but not limited to: pintails, flat nose riders, and boards shaped like a longer shortboard. Pintails permit looser trucks and larger diameter wheels better suited for carving or a "surfy" feel. Mid-length boards, 94-127 cm (37-50 inches) are the most versatile.

Longboards skateboards using similar sklills when u ride it, but the different is more to shape of the boards dan the layout of fields.
