There really isn't a best longboard because every company makes something different. I personally like arbor but like Shane said it depends on the rider. I would do research on places that let you stand on a longboard and then I would pay a little more money to get a custom complete. Map out the best prices by going to different skate shops. I don't know if you live by one but BC Surf and Sport usually has a pretty big selection of longboards. Sliding gloves are also a good thing to invest in when your longboarding.

I agree with Shane. There's no best longboard! I'm a big fan of Rayne and Landyachtz because the boards that either company produces are unique and diffrent with diffrent specs. I cant wait to ride them all! WOOOO

I absolutely love my Sector 9 longboard. It's perfect to carve on it and just cruise around.

Longboards

I like loaded. They are nice and light but steady. If you want a cheapo longboard get a mindless.

There are no "best longboards" its all about your preference and style of riding. you see, i freeride so naturally i like stiff drop boards like my Subsonic Racecar. But the thing about freeriding is that its all about the rider. Some like drop through boards like the 9to5 and Original Freeride Beasts. Some would rather have both in a double drop board, like the Switchblade. Others prefer top mounts like the wolfshark. Its all opinion, there really cant be a "best" longboard.
