It depends on what type of Skateboarding you are going to be doing. Do not buy the cheapiest ones that you find because they are dangerously designed. Go to your local shop and ask for a blank deck that is sized properly to you. You can also visit http://www.skateboardinguniversity.com and go through the first course that they have all about the proper and best skateboard equipment!
It depends on your shoe size and height and weight if you wear a size 7.5 in mens to 12 and are about 5'5 to 6'0 get a 7.75. If you are around 5'0 to 5'4 and wear a size 2 to 7 get a 7.5.If you wear a size 12.5 and up you should be looking for a board 8.0 and higher
getta custom
dont get a complete
the complete boards come with the crappiest parts (bearings, trucks,wheels)
1.look for a nice deck you like
2.if you're planning on sliding, get orangatang wheels, if not doesnt really matter
3.bearings-ceramic bones if u have money to spend (they can go through rain)

You can use a longboard on any type of wave but gently breaking waves are best.
It depends on your riding style, but for a Loaded board, I'd suggest something like Paris brand longboard trucks or Randal brand longboard trucks.
i suggest 7-9 can longboard with parent guidance.then 10+ can longboard without parent guidance
no go for the Sector 9 they are very reliable
longboard races
If you want to try longboard surfing you should go to First Point, Malibu, California. Makaha in Oahu, Hawaii is also a popular place. Cardiff in California is known as one of the best places for longboard surfing.
No, you'll need some stronger type of wood.
My personal favorite longboard trucks are Paris trucks.
no go for the Sector 9 they are very reliable
It doesnt matter it should just fit
The current land speed record for a longboard is held by Mischo Erban, who reached a speed of 95.83 mph on a longboard in Quebec, Canada in 2012.
