IF you have a local shop I would highly recommend going there. If you have some previous skill/ knowledge I would just look for a board that has the concave and pop you like. Most big name brands have good construction so it all comes down to your own preference.

Deluxe boards. Real, Anti-Hero, or Krooked.

But really go to your local shop. If you're still in the very early stages of learning how to skateboard, as long as it's a decent deck from you local shop you'll be fine. You won't really notice different "pop" characteristics, steep/shallow concaves, big shovel noses, steep tails etc, until you've been riding for a while.

Expedition and Krooked decks are nice, I also heard Real boards are good but I've never skated one myself

The price isn't worth it, they are hardly more durable than normal boards

I weigh about 240 and usually go through seven to ten boards in a summer. Last summer, I bought an Almost Double Impact board. Insane pop and ridiculously strong. I still have it. It's been run over by my friend's jeep, taken countless landings down lots of stairs, rails, etc. and is still holding up.

What I have ridden in order from favorite to least favorite: Chocolate, Element Helium, Regular Element, Mini Logo, Zoo York, Plan B
None of them broke just my personal preferences. Chocloate and Element felt rigid and poppy. Plan B and Zoo York just felt dead

Get one, they're only like $10 more than an average deck and I rode one every day for about 8 months and it didn't break. probably one of the sturdier decks out there for sure

Go to NoHo and find a good light deck with good concave(because it helps pop, and its easier to do kickflips with). for trucks you should get ventures. reds bearings. you should try out friends wheels and see what style youre going for.

if youre a shov-it type, get a fatter deck.

but dont do that because shov-its are kinda dumb. (unless you get it steez-tastic)

but yeah i'd get a planb bout 7.725w
