The stiffness of a longboard for sliding typically depends on the rider's weight and skill level, but generally, a medium to stiff flex is preferred. A stiffer board provides better stability and control during slides, making it easier to initiate and hold them. Riders may choose a stiffer board if they are heavier or more experienced, while lighter or beginner riders might opt for a slightly softer flex for better feel and feedback. Ultimately, personal preference plays a significant role in selecting the right stiffness.

What type of Longboard do you have to have to power slide?
You can powerslide any board if you have the skill. If you're a beginner I would probably go with a board in the 40 inch range (37-42) and it should have nice concave so your feet won't slide off. Make sure to get good griptape.
What is the best wood to make a longboard out of?
The "best" wood depends on if you want your longboard to be flexible, stiff, light, or heavy. Maple is a common wood used to build stiff longboards, it is a tad heavy but not really a problem. An alternative to this is Baltic Birch wood, it is cheaper than maple but a little more flexible. Bamboo is also used on longboards but may be harder to press and access. If you are going to make a longboard I would recommend using fiberglass on the bottom and maybe even top layer to add some strength.
