Replying to Recommend me a skateboard

Yo guys,
So I'm pretty much done skiing for the season :( and I really need a hobby to keep keep my sanity, which isn't easy in Iowa these days. But anyways, I was thinking of picking up skateboarding just for the hell of it. I'm not really sure what set up I should get though and I know some people on here skate so help me out! I don't really want to spend more than like $150. And I have to order off the internet, no skate shops around.

I'm 5'9", 135 lbs, and I have pretty much no experience skateboarding. If you need any more info to make a recommendation, let me know.

I'm also not sure if this belongs in NSG or gear talk. Figured gear talk is a bit more serious though.

Finally, I'm not talking about longboarding to be clear.

Any recommendations would be appreciated, with karma of course!
