starting to make longboards

As far a wood goes, my source here (New Mexico) orders it for me from some place in Phoenix. So you should have a good source. Just call around to local lumber yards and see if they have 1/8in or 1/4in baltic birch.
and make sure its actually baltic birch. Many hardware stores carry birch plywood, but that stuff is garbage and will result in a build that wasnt really worth the time/money

Go to Woodworkers Source. It's on Kyrene and Elliot plus a couple other locations. That's where I get my stuff. They've got 5'x5' sheets for 30 bucks and some maple for a little more money too.
