I was just wornding what is a good board to start out on for not too much money? I seen this board on evogear for $50 but that seemed too cheap to be a good board. http://www.evogear.com/productdetail.asp?pn=922

thanks,

Kampus makes a good board. I've ridden that board and it was nice. It was a bit small for me, but I'm 6'-1" & 190lbs.
For $50, you should pick one up. It's a flat deck, but it'll be good for learning. You'll probably want to move up to a concave deck once you start progressing.
Good luck.

hiace1469, the scape is cheap ( 99 new, 50 used ) u can find some awesome kampus decks on ebay for cheap. cassette makes sweet decks too...70 bucks in Barts.

Basically any cheap , like around 80ish or cheaper wakeskate is good to learn on. Older cassetts, kampus and others. I learned on a 03 HL scape like wakeguy said, its a great board for learning too.

hiace1469,

I have a K39,,,,,, I LOVE IT! For 49 bucks, it's not a bad mistake if you don't like it.

I am thinking about getting another one for that price.

Now Muck, why would you need two?

You should get something different to have a variety.
