When buying a new board, firstl consider two things: price range and skill level.
If you’re trying out longboarding as a new hobby and aren’t yet sure that it’s going to stick, you really don’t want to be splashing the big bucks quite yet.
Look around online and you’ll find some very decent full boards for around £50.
As with surfing, the bigger the board, the more balance you’ll have. Some beginners do learn on a thinner board or with a more custom design, but this will be harder.
Make it easy for yourself and buy a big old deck of a cruiser or a downhill rider to begin with, while you find your feet!
