Picking a board depends on a few different factors, especially what activities you plan on using the board for. Longboards with wider decks and lower centers of gravity tend to be easier to learn and find balance on, and they’re great for hitting high speeds without wobbling. If you plan on bringing your board around with you, cruisers are the most lightweight and portable option. If you plan to hit the skate park with your board, a classic skateboard will be best. If you’re interested in using your board as a means of longer-distance transportation, consider an electric longboard. Refer to the chart below for help choosing a board.
