hey NS I skate so Im not looking for a complete beginner type longboard but I want one for mostly cruising or some small hills. Im not sure what length or shape I should get .. so help me out. Im 5'1 and 90 lbs if that helps, but I want one that will last a while. I was looking a the sector 9 carbonite deck and mama rasta deck. Plus, sell me one if u got one I would like. Also I need bearings hardwear trucks etc.

I just ordered a BC board and i'm stoked to get it.  They are 230 complete so idk if your looking to spend that much, if you looking for something to just cruze around town with get a cheeper sector nine or arbor.

switchblade or 9to5 yes. Demonseed, No. That is a purpose built DH board and unless you are planning on bombing hills at considerable speed, It would be a bit overkill. Not much flex to it either to cruising in the flats or very mild hills would seem relatively boring. Of course you'd want something that is a "futureproof" but a Demonseed is definitely overkill. Especially for your height/weight. You could jump off a 2nd story onto that board and it wouldnt flex.

sector 9 is the most affordable board but it isn't the best. if you looking for a more advanced board check out the loaded dervish or original apex 34/37, maybe even one of their pintails!
