I need a new longboard, but am not too sure what type to get, how much i should pay, how long it should be, etc. I was thinking either a Sector 9 or an Arbor.

Searchbar. There have been over 10 of these threads in the past few weeks it seems like, all asking the same question.

Haha it's ok. I would go with a dropthrough or a drop deck. They are good for all types of riding, and the lowness to the ground really helps on long push rides. Look into landyachtz switch, loaded dervish, landyachtz 9two5, and the BC moray. Check those out and see which fits your needs best.

sector 9 is a solid, inexpensive and durable brand that have many longboards that are good for beginners if thats what you are. i have a sector 9 sand wedge and its awesome. also check out the aperture, i've tried it and its also a sick board.

I would look at Earthwing. Alot of Earthwing boards are the same price as S9 bards but they are much higher quality. Maybe check out the Earthwing supermodel?

the best thing to do is just to customize it. completes are good but its better to just make a board that is really meant for your riding style. definately get a deck with drop through mounts. paris trucks are probably the best for just cruizing and all around stuff.
