Mini Cruiser Longboard: Guppy
A compact, lightweight cruiser originally designed for commuting, campus riding and everyday transportation with 60mm Shark Wheel California Roll wheels.
The Guppy by Shiver Boards was created as a compact commuter cruiser: lightweight enough to carry easily, small enough for everyday transportation and equipped with Shark Wheels for a more versatile riding experience.
A compact 28-inch platform designed for transportation and easy carrying.
Built around everyday riding, campus trips and neighborhood cruising.
California Roll wheels designed for cruising, grip and varied pavement.
A Compact Commuter Cruiser
The original Guppy was designed as an easy-to-carry cruiser board for riders who wanted something smaller than a traditional longboard.
At 28 inches long and 8 inches wide, it offered enough deck space for comfortable cruising while remaining compact enough for everyday transportation.
That made the board particularly useful for short commutes, campus riding, trips along the beach or simply moving around town without carrying a much larger board.
The Guppy was designed around mobility. Its compact dimensions paired with soft 60mm wheels created a board intended to be practical both while riding and while carrying it.
The Original Guppy Setup
The Guppy came standard with 60mm Shark Wheel California Roll wheels, Origin trucks and a 100% Canadian maple deck.
The color-stained underside also gave riders space to personalize the deck with stickers or artwork, making the board both functional and customizable.
Although the original Guppy complete is part of Shark Wheel's earlier board lineup, the wheel configuration behind it remains highly relevant today.
Why 60mm California Roll Wheels?
Shark Wheel's current 60mm California Roll collection is designed specifically for cruising, freeriding and smaller skateboard decks.
The 78a versions provide a softer cruiser-style ride with grip and comfort suited to uneven pavement, while the Shark Wheel geometry is designed to interact differently with small debris and rough surfaces.
Campus & Commuting
A compact cruiser can be easier to carry between rides while still providing a useful platform for everyday transportation.
Cruising & Carving
60mm California Roll wheels are built for cruiser boards, smaller decks and riders looking for a softer wheel setup.
Built for Everyday Pavement
A commuter board regularly encounters pavement seams, cracks, small stones and other surface imperfections.
Shark Wheel's wave-shaped wheel geometry is designed to approach small obstacles differently from a traditional wheel while maintaining traction and rolling performance.
For the Guppy, that made the 60mm California Roll an important part of the board's commuter-oriented design rather than simply a visual feature.
The Guppy Concept Today
The original Guppy should now be viewed as a legacy Shark Wheel and Shiver cruiser rather than as a currently promoted complete board.
Riders who like the same compact-cruiser concept can still build a similar setup using the current 60mm California Roll wheel collection.
Shark Wheel also currently offers complete cruiser skateboards equipped with 60mm wheels for riders looking for a ready-to-ride option.
Recreate the compact cruiser experience
The original Guppy is a legacy cruiser, but Shark Wheel continues to offer the 60mm California Roll wheels that made this style of compact board useful for everyday cruising.
