    Out of those, I would say get the Loaded pin.

    If I were to get a campus cruiser type board at the moment though (and I lived in the US, shipping over the boarder is a pain), I would probably get a Subsonic Swift 40k. Those are suuuper nice.

    The 39" gravity carves look pretty nice too.

    It REALLY just depends on what turns your crank.

    i would go with the loaded out of that list.

    but i hear that lowered boards are easier to push than a "regular" board.
    i just ordered the swift 42 because of this. plus Scott is a great guy to deal with.

    Yeah, that is 110% true. Lowered boards are SO easy to ride it isn't even funny.

    For a lowered board though, I would say go with a Landyachtz Drop Carve or a Kebbek Caften.

    The drop carve would be nice because of the kicktail, and the Caften has that wedged nose so it would have a tight turning radius.

    It kind of depends on what you want. It's hard to find a package that's going to have a smooth flex, a good turning radius, small enough to lug around, and be easy to push. I would say pushing would be the least of your concerns.

    Not only will the loaded perform better, it will also look better than the boards everyone else will be riding.
    I'm a man...I can change...if I have to...I guess.
