Hey!!

I'm new to longboarding. I have been borrowing a friends and am loving cruising around Ft. Lauderdale and Miami Beach.

I would like some advice on what to buy. I have gotten so many different suggestions and figured this would be the best place to come. I have been looking at flexdeck and loaded but am obviously open to all opinions.

I don't really have a price range.

Thanks so much!!!

I would buy a second hand board around 9'2". I would ask your friends what kind of longboards they have and get one similar, I would recommend a 2+1 longboard that isn't a super oblong shape.

I think he's taking about skateboards since Flexdeck and loaded are skateboard brands. :lol:
