My first board

[Gibson]

Ok so a couple of days ago I was down at the beach and I see a guy just cruisin along on his board and since then i just cant get my mind of gettin one for myself.
Now where I live is flat everywhere and I just want the board to cruise down to the beach or bring with myself when I go visit the islands this summer just for a fun way to go from point A to point B

Now Im about 5'8 and 125 pounds
Im 14 growin like every day
Any recommendations on what I should get or some tips on what I should be looking for

Anything would be appreciated!

This board is everything you'll need. Independent trucks are low to the ground so it'll be easy to push, 70mm wheels will roll over lots of stuff, and it'll be a great all-around beginner board.

look around on the internet and on this fourm as well there are many different longboard companys around like sector nine, landyachtz, loaded, gravity, and many many more. i started out on a sector nine cosmic series and loved it. now i am a little more into DH so i bought a landyachtz DH Race. but if you just want to cruise you should deffinatly check out loaded or sector nine.

good luck

I found this site
http://www.loadedboards.com/newsite_v1/pintail.html
Are any of these boards a good choice?

[pirateswin]

Yeah, the loaded pins are sweet. Especially as shorter commuters. If you're riding mostly flats, I recommend you grab some 70mm zigzags instead of gumballs.

The Pintail Bamboo looks like something im intrested in
So your saying I should just get the board and order zigzags wheels?

Here it offers which wheels etc etc
It says "Flex 1"
"Flex 2" up to 4
Whats this mean and which do you recommend?

It's pretty self explanatory. Chill out a second, take a deep breath, and look around and figure stuff out. You don't want to make a 250 dollar purchase on a whim.

The flex numbers indicate how flexy the board is. The lower the number, the stiffer the board is. See the weight ranges next to each flex? Pick one that's within your weight.

I'd say yes, you should buy paris trucks.

And you're going to start getting flamed if you keep posting so rapidly, before enough people even have time to respond. Just chill, take your time and make sure you get the best thing for you.
