sector 9s are a great way to get started cheap and get the job done. I'd look at arbor, insect and landyachts

Sector 9's work. plain and simple, but if you want one that looks way cooler and isnt what everyone else has, get something else.

I in particular have an Arbor. I love it.

Sector Nine is one of the best longboard companys out there. I have an Arbor, and I love it. I defenently like it better than any of my friends sectors. I would go with a short arbor, like the fish, and get gull wing trucks with sectors wheels.

You totally just named my board, minus the sector wheels.

I have the Arbor Fish, and Gullwing trucks.

and then I have these really cool Generic wheels on it that are spectacular.

I hate people who say shit like that. All of a sudden, in the last 2 years people all over the place have discovered longboarding. and, since sector9 is a big company that is all over the place, people go against it and say they are for posers and shit like that. I have had the same sector 9 board now for 8 years and it has been great for me, so shut your fucking mouth.

i got a loaded pintail with abec 11strikers and it's perfect flex for cruising and carving, and occasionally hills. go to www.silverfishlongboarding.com though and you can find out a lot.

sector nine are...ok. the boards that is. there trucks, wheels and bearings tend to be a little less quality. the board i am riding most is the Landyachtz Wedge Flex with Randal 180's and some coned out kryptos. the turned up nose gives you improved carving, very improved. and the R-180s are very carvy but very stable. krypto wheels are grippy, slidy and fast. dont bomb on them to much in hot weather. i ahve seen some kryptos melt. crazy shit. spread the longboard stoke! and if your from Canada, support local and buy Landyachtz. or Rayne or Redneck or Godspeed. or Skull Skates.

Arbors are good boards but DON'T get Gull Wing Trucks they are terrible and have bad problems with speed wobbles. As for Sector Wheels stay away from those too, they are cheap poly wheels. I would get 180 Randal II if your board is any longer than 30", for wheels it all depends on what you want to do. If you are carving and bombing hills then go with the Abec 11 Gumballs, they roll over everything. If you are planning on doing some sliding just make sure that you get a wheel with a durometer over 75a. Just don't get gull wings or sector wheels they are cheap and you will be dissapointed when you try to progress your riding.

sector nine is the burton of snowboarding
pretty good for the price, and way easy to get ahold of, and good for begginers. I dunno, go with arbor. I like their boards.
