# Tiger Shark Skateboards The Santa Cruz Tiger Shark Cruzer is Built for the Boardwalk By Michael Hines | Published 2010-04-26 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiger-shark-cruzer References: [radcollector](http://www.radcollector.com/news/2010/04/23/santa-cruz-tiger-shark/) & [nhsfunfactory](http://www.nhsfunfactory.com/item/11111856/santacruz/) I am almost certain that the Tiger Shark Cruzer from Santa Ana will be a California beach staple this summer. [Longboard skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-skateboards) are matched only by [beach cruisers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surf-lx) as the transportation of choice during the dog days of summer. The Tiger Shark Cruzer is truly a longboard. This behemoth measures in at a whopping 10" x 36." It doesn't matter how big it is, people always get out of the way when a [shark is coming](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ziggis-coffee-bad-bruce). The Tiger Shark Cruzer also features a bottle opener on the bottom to help you easily crack open your refreshment of choice. There's nothing like summer in California. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Longboard Skateboards:** The trend of longboard skateboards continues to grow, offering opportunities for innovative designs and features. - **Beach Cruisers:** Beach cruisers remain a popular mode of transportation, creating opportunities for enhanced comfort and functionality. - **Multi-functional Design:** The inclusion of a bottle opener on the skateboard highlights the trend of multi-functional design, presenting opportunities for integrating useful features. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Skateboarding Industry:** The skateboarding industry can capitalize on the growing popularity of longboard skateboards and explore new design possibilities. - **Bicycle Industry:** The bicycle industry can leverage the demand for beach cruisers to develop improved models with added features and innovations. - **Consumer Goods Industry:** The consumer goods industry can embrace the trend of multi-functional design by incorporating useful features into various products, such as skateboards. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Electric Motorized Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thunder-electric-surfboard.md) - [Artist-Collaborated Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impala-hera-cruiser.md) - [Lounge Chair-Inspired Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eames-lounge-cruiser.md) - [Hybridized Electric Longboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybridized-electric-longboards.md) - [Accessible First-Time Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/redo-skateboards.md) - [Skateboard-Inspired Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bustin-boards-skatex.md) - [Shark Bottle Openers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tacray-shark-pocket-opener.md) - [Industrial Surfer eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/howler-brothers-x-super73s2-ebike.md) - [Intuitive Remote-Free Electric Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-skateboard.md)
