Autobahn Enduros. You can get em for like 25$ and they're great. Hard enough to fly in a bowl, but not so hard that it makes you cry on your way -to- the bowls.

85a Powell Bomber series are a decent choice on the cheap.

abec11 noskools
retro bertz
retro vertz/invertz
66mm strykers

i think a mid to high 80a range will do well, but harder abec thane can be pretty harsh for cruising. but to each his own.

Id definitely recommend the Rat Bones, I have a set and love them. They are super fast too, and slide real well. Not as hard as id prefer, but best bet for you IMO.

i figured that much, but most small wheels over 90a are going to suck for cruising. so i figured the mean of the two duros would work ok for both (but im kinda skeptical)
