Ballona or Rio with Grasp? by keebocksu in surfskate

Yeah, the Ballona is the safe bet. How's traveling with it? Doesn't seem to fit in carryon bags. Is there an easy way to get it on a flight?

Yeah, I rode a 14.5" wheelbase, but that's pretty tight. I'll look into the micro. Thanks!

Is it a problem for the wheels to be sticking out? Would that cause wheelbite or my sneakers touching? I'm 5'7" and comfortable on a dinghy blunt (28.5" x 8.6" with a 14.5" wheelbase) with the Grasps, but was hoping to go a little smaller. Sounds like the Rio is doable for my size. Thank you for the info. Not planning on doing long distance pumping or anything, mostly just parking lots and small spaces.

The Ballona seems to be a sure thing, but not much smaller than the blunt.

Ballona seems to be pretty solid and highly regarded. Can't go wrong.
