Does Riding a Longboard Attract Girls?
Let’s Talk Honestly.
This is a question I’ve heard more than once — often from guys who catch a glimpse of my Playshion board and get a little starry-eyed. And look, I get it. There’s something undeniably smooth about gliding through campus, carving turns, feeling the breeze. You might assume it’s a guaranteed attention-grabber.
But here’s the short answer:
No, riding a longboard hasn’t magically turned me into a chick magnet.
My College Experience on a Longboard
In two years of cruising around campus, not once has a girl approached me with a dramatic “Oh my god??? Is that a longboard? Ughhhh, wanna come back to my place???”
Yeah. Never happened.
It’s not that I looked unapproachable or grumpy. It’s just… not that deep. People are busy. Especially women — they have their own lives, their own classes, their own stuff to worry about. Longboards don’t exactly scream “talk to me!”
Let’s Be Real: Shyness Plays a Role Too
Another factor? Shyness.
That what if this goes badly? fear is real for everyone. Even if someone did think your board was cool, the hesitation might still hold them back.
But Hey — The Fantasy Is Fun
Look, I’ve imagined what it’d be like to cruise around with someone clinging to my waist, two people balancing on one board like it’s some coming-of-age anime.
Would it work? Probably — if the board’s big enough (and now I know that it can be).
Still, I barely fit myself sometimes.
So, Will a Longboard Get You Girls?
Honestly? No.
But what it will get you is fun, freedom, and a vibe — and that might just attract the right kind of energy.
So ride for the joy of it. And if someone notices you while you’re in your element? Even better.
Final Thoughts
If you’re spontaneous enough to try tandem longboarding or just want to express yourself in motion — go for it. It’s not about impressing anyone. It’s about having a good time.
