I need help getting a new board. I’ve been thinking about getting a new board, but I don’t know which board is best at a low price. I’ve been riding a crappy-ass board for ever so I don’t know the difference in other boards if I see one. so it would be great if you can tell what board is best and the best place to get it.
thanks,
polovin22

You can go to other websites and enter your information in there, and then they will give you suggestions on the right size, shape, etc, for the board that would fit you best.

You're no doubt going to notice a difference on any board that you ride, since you're coming from a crappy board.

And I would suggest buying a board that you can progress with, but not limit your ability to learn more tricks as you get better. If you get a strictly beginner board, you may be buying another board in two years because it's not aggressive enough.
