Keep it steady, balance is key
The longboard allows you to balance yourself while moving through life. It forces you to raise awareness and stay in check with your surroundings.
A lot of new riders are coming in, even now in the off season to ask questions about boards for beginners. We always recommend a drop deck because it ads stability and low and high speeds. Feeling comfortable is important to gain the confidence necessary to progress.
If you really need a handicap to get going you can even try a double drop deck, with drop through truck mounts.
Many people start riding on a pintail, the most classic surfboard style shape on the market. Our concern is that a pintail is higher off the ground and usually has some flex. Fun for cruising the board walk but less practical for getting comfy as a new rider.
Choosing the right deck is important and Longboard Living store and brand is a good place to ask questions and learn what might be right for you.

Years blow by
We have not been active on our blogger for a few years and are glad to be back. A lot has changes through the seasons including: our shop locations, the crew and the graphics on our skateboard deck line.
A few highlights include production runs of 100 decks with art by: HeyApathy!, Jimmy Chiale, Poser, Adrian Hayles, BSC / Flips, Masta Myst and soon with Kizmet.
Even Milk got his own pro model!

This winter we beat the winter blues with a trip to cancun to host a longboard slide jam and enjoy the perfect year round skate weather.
