Do Cruiser Boards Need Gripape?

Yes! Complete cruiser boards typically come with griptape to help you stay in control while riding around town. However, cruiser griptape will wear down over time. When you notice the griptape losing its stickiness, it’s a sign that it needs to be replaced. While griptape for cruiser boards is usually black, opting for new tape with colorful designs or a branded logo is also a great way to customize your board's appearance.

For a pennyboard, the waffle design on the top should provide enough grip, eliminating the need for tape. However, if you want to ensure maximum grip or simply wish to customize your board's look, you can definitely apply some pennyboard griptape.
