Another "What board should I get"

[Mythicalsoul]

Hey hey,

New to London, had to leave my (short)longboard back home.

I'm fairly new to longboarding, didn't do any tricks but know that I like a board that turns easily and is good for cruising on.
My roommate had a standard 42", not flexible, longboard and I know I didn't like it as it didn't have any bounce to it and didn't turn well at all.
I'll be using mine for commuting, so the ability to turn in and out of ppl is important. I'll also be using it for longer trips, I suppose what one would call "cruising".
I'm undecided if I want a 38" as my last one was that size, or go for the 40 to 42 inch as I noticed that the longer one cruised a lot further.

Not sure if it matters, but I'm about 5'3 in height

In any case, I have taken it down to these 4:

Ah, that's a little too pricey for my budget. I suppose I'm pretty cheap as I'm a beginner, looking to spend max 150.

Get a Kracked Skulls Scimitar thats 44" long. They are great customizable boards that are cheap too. Do a you tube search on them and you will be amazed. These drop-through boards are low to the ground which make them great for DH and sliding. The flex of the deck also makes them ideal cruising carving boards.Overall any advanced to beginner boarder will find the Scimitar to be a great ride. Also save 5% off any purchase from KrackedSkulls.com by using the code "DECA" at checkout!

Any Landyachtz or Loaded would be good to, and make sure to avoid brands like Sector 9.
