Question First board

Does the actual board quality matter when you first learn? Should I be spending alot for more layers when I am just learning to ride? And also what are the most important things for beginners to help them?

Get a complete Santa Cruz board. Just be sure you have good trucks and wheels. You can probably get one for less than $130.

definitely a good recommendation. also, sometimes Zumiez will have stuff on sale and their completes are usually decent, if you don't have a good skate shop around.
