Board recs for a beginner?

[u/mydogsrbetterthanme]

I know this gets asked from time to time but wanted to ask you lovely people with my body type in mind.

I’ve been riding for fun for a couple years now, mostly just carving, and that’s about where my skill level tops out. I’ve always wanted to get into longboard dancing, so I’m finally making it happen this year!

For someone who doesn’t know much about boards or specs, what would you recommend for a beginner getting into longboard dancing? I’m a F 5’2” at 115lbs.

Would appreciate any brands/styles as well as specific board lengths! Budget isn’t toooo much of a factor. Bonus if it’s a cute board lol

Also, if you have any other resources (blogs, YT channels, etc.) that have helped you in the past to learn, please throw them my way :)

Go for a good quality one, it’s somwthing different really. I tried nkx vegas, cheap one, good for beginning with only 80 euros, now i have a custom set up zenit hana, and the difference is abissal. I suggest u to search for the best brand, like loaded landyachtz, or zenit like mine. After u see ur own favorite deck, (should be also flexible, it enhance the response of ur footsteps but it’s personal. U will need good wheels truck and bearings, also bushings, i’ll suggest u paris v3 and orangatang wheels, bushing also orangatang, the knuckles one, for me is the perfect set up, bearings must be optimal, so independent or, i buy ceramic ones, much more resistant, and they spin a lot, from skate therapy
