how you doing, i am new to the longboarding scene. always have been drawn to it. i surf, but with a full time job and lack of waves i have been really interested in getting into this. i have no idea what board to get. i have narrowed the choices between Originals torpedo 40 and the apex 37. when i surf i usually roll with my 6'6" and fish carve a little, but i love getting and nice long ride. anyone have any advice????

yo dude whats good? im pretty new also to this community, but if u want a longer' longbord thats good for carving, dancing and even dh lok at the sector 9 mundaka. its 46", u just might want to look at buying new/better wheels for it. Also take a look at the loaded dervish, or pretty much any Original carve board. www.sector9.com Go Longboard; Original Skateboards LoadedBoards.com - Skateboards, longboards, freeride
---check out their websites a look around---

Bottom line: don't be a hater just because you can't do a grind on vert on your DH board

Hey Silverfish! I'm new here (well i joined awhile back but wasn't active) and I've been skating for about 3 years now. I started on my brothers boards, then i got my own trick board; which wasn't much fun. My bro taught me how to carve and drift one year in. I got my first board after 2 years, a Sector 9 Rasta Native. That year my brother and i mobbed Fresno CA nonstop and he taught me how to do check slides, layback slides, and 180 slides. I moved from Fresno to Morro Bay, and my brother passed his dancer and DH board to me. I've been mobbing the hills around here nonstop and decided to come back to the Fish.
Another thing I'd like to add, My family and i make Longboards and have been for the past 2 years. Though the production rate has fallen, we can still pump out our models. They are great boards, 40" pintail with great camber and concave, 48" speedboard, and now we are making a Dancer (length not specified yet). PM me with questions and ill get back to ya.
Well, apparently my thread got moved, said hi, then provided feedback in the forum feedback section and thread got closed, so here I go again:
Nice site, great people, good moderation (I guess?), and great cause.
Greeting all. Huh, Im not really good with this whole introductions thing so ill just splurt it out. Hi, Im very new to longboarding, so new in fact that I have only gone through one pair of shoes. I started because I saw a board that I liked when I moved to Vancouver. I then later realised that I dont like it and I want a new on. Its a S9 (dont judge me, it had a pretty graphic on it and I had never skated before). So now I am here, the home of longboarding so that you guys can school me and I can learn. I have a passion for the rush and I really enjoy this as a lifestyle. So hi to all I hope I can engage in some awesome converstions from here on in!
Hey all, new to the forum, and interested in getting into long boarding so these seems like the place to go to get some exposure to it. Apparently this is one awesome forum so i hope to stick around for a while

Hi everybody, just found silverfish, lots of great information on here.
Now for my story lol
I live in naples FL been wakeboarding for about 5 years and bought my first longboard (sector 9) about a year and a half ago cause it looked kinda similar and thought it would be fun.
After about an hour i realized that longboarding was the greatest thing on land and decided to order a loaded dervish.
Started out just cruising and eventually got into dancing and pretty much anything else you can do on completly flat land. No hills=no dh
Current Set-up
Flex 2 (150lbs)
Bear Grizzlys
Khiro barrels orange/blue
Otang In Heats 80a
MHS bearings (best for the $$$ by far)
Here's a pic of the dervish the day I got it.
(I never realized how shiny and green my big zigs were)
i'm new too. i'm stevo from lafayette La. have a vanguard flex 2 with orange venoms on randal 180's with 86a otang freerides. parking garages are all we have. anyone from austin texas, please give me some addresses for some good runs. we're spending a couple of days there and wana get some skating in.
