What ever cheap plywood you have lying around. Don't worry if it's to flexy, the trucks will stiffen it up. You don't need grip tape either just rub some dirt on it. Oh and wood screws are fine for holding the trucks on with your rollerskate wheels.

Or you could use the search function and see that I'm full of crap.

3/4" oak is nice, you can get it at Home Depot

or Baltic Birch plywood you can get it at a lumberyard

Make it at least 48" long and whatever shape you think is cool - remember, it's YOUR board, so it has to appeal to you.
