I longboard frequently, you will want one if you already own a normal skateboard, they are awesomeI own several longboards..the three worth rec'g are as follows:
For aggressive or carv'y rides (also the one you can bounce up/down on like a trampoline while riding, and most difficult to ride as well as most fun)
Fibreflex Arrow head that is still amazing and 4 years old too!! it is a pintail design shown
here..with randall trucks (randall make great heavy duty trucks for longboards)
This is one of the best longboards I have ever seen or owned (owned dozens)..and can say firmly, these boards can take the abuse. Mine literally got ran over by an SUV the FIRST day I got it, (in the first hour actually) --I was in SD Ca and purchased it from
Soul Grind , which is a very reputable seller of boards..Anywho, the board did not snap or crack, only went all the way down to the ground when ran over..sprung back up like a little kid!!
I too have sec9, similar
this one in the middle is closest.
this board type and ride is more like a Caddy' smooth, not as aggessive nor fast...but really fun and MUCH easier to ride, better for beginners or guests whom don't ride at all, very smooth lines, not flexible like the above board.
The third suggestion is the Original Longboard..This board is sick, it is a new concept that few skaters are hip to, and even fewer consumers have gotten to yet...they are made by a new company with new concept of the S-Truck...called
Original Skateboards...and this carves like no other board made period..you can skate in tiny circles over and over, literally that great..
These are three choices that are all great, but for diffrent reasons...a Good board will cost you, but is worth it for campus riding, casual downhill bombing, and just straight up cruising..much less pushing,way more carving
