Longboards are crafted with bamboo in order for flex and durability. Bamboo is usually on boards that are meant for a hold on the rider. The flex of the board allows the rider to be more cushioned with the board, causing less slippage and more grip between the board and the rider. Bamboo is very tough, but it is not recommended for those above 200 lbs. Bamboo boards are also ideal for downhill riding, because of their flex. Non-flex bamboo boards are all-around good boards, because of their long life and strength.
Maple/Mahogany is the most common board material, allowing less flex, but more overall stability. These boards are usually pin-tails or Drop-through/Drop-down decks that are used for downhill riding or sliding/free-riding. These boards are good to use for most weight ranges, and can be meant for anything from downhill, to free-riding to just cruising.
All-in-all, both types of boards are great. It all just depends on personal preference. Get out there and skate!
