I'm looking to purchase a longboard sometime soon. 

I don't really know anything about them so i was wondering if anyone could suggest some solid brands or even solid setups of your own? 


any feedback will be much appreciated

yeah rayne make good board but the killswitch is the way to go, tbh the best set up you can buy would be the rayne killsitch top mounted with aera truck but this is fucking expensive, but deffo the kill switch for the best performance

Check out Bustin Boards. They've got some pretty sick boards and you can make your setup right on the website and have it ship. You can even sort of make your own custom graphic. (they have some cool graphics that you can change layers of colors to what you want.) I ride their Maestro but go check them out.

rayne vendetta, you literally cant go wrong with this board. And i ride them with paris 180s and o'tang durians 86a. Slides great is good for some light bombing and is great to cruise on.
