oh god no, if you want to buy a longboard get a landyachtz, they are in my opinion the best that you could ever buy.
If you don't want to spend to must money on a complete I suggesed a Krown or if you don't mind spending $150 or more get a Loaded or Landyachtz. Krowns our good quality though, but Loaded and Landyachtz are just better. It all depends on what you want. I have a Krown a it work perfect for my weight and size.Or you can go to skateboom.com they have really cheap but good quality boards.

Anything by original skateboards.
there is no best longboard for anything there just different but a good crusing board must be quiet smooth and easy to push.
purple orangutans are good

Look in the silverfish classifieds for a good fast longboard that is affordable and fits your requirements.
what brand are your wheels good brands like orangatang, gumballs retros sector 9's dont often split. just try and ride smoother
There seems to be good reviews for the Santa Cruz Stormtrooper longboard. Many who have purchased this and tried it out have said they really like it and it is better than other boards they have had.
Surfing- on the longboard- was created in Hawaii. It is the best.
