I'm n00b on loangborad but I just got my Torpedo 40.
I bought it from www.originalskateboards.com
I love that board and have been riding it all day since I got it.

just about any sector 9 complete is good for any level. if you like carving more than bombing look for a board with cut outs and drop through trucks. the cut outs help when carving and the low stance from the drop through trucks is good for bombing hills too.

i'd say no. if anything it will help you with balance and stability at high speeds. both will help when skiing season rolls around

i have been longboarding for a few years now and have had a few setups and i would say any sector 9 would be a great first step for you. they are fairly cheap and reliable. if you want to go with a nicer board i would def. recomened a loaded Dervish or Tam Tien. they are supper nice and have veriuse flex patterns.

buy a legit company like landyachtz or rayne not the crap companies as listed above. you'll be pleased with a sector nine carver for like a month before you realize that you actually wanted something better. my 2 cents

Kracked Skulls is good from what I've heard.

I asked around and for a beginner board, it sounds like you cant beat the quality of what you get for the price from KS
