For a lot of people at the beginner level, there are two categories when thinking about buying a new longboard: budget and ride style.
Boards that offer the best performance for the new rider, depending on ride style include the Pintail 40 for cruising and carving, the Freeride Drop 41 for Hills and Sliding, and the Arbiter 36 for downhill.
Cruising and Carving: The Pintail 40 has great flex combined with s8 Original Skateboards trucks making it the ultimate cruising carving board. One of the keys to this carving concoction is that the trucks have the largest degree boardlean found anywhere in the longboard industry. This means that Original s8 Trucks take the pintail longboard up a notch giving it a carving feel, similar to that of a snowboard or surfing. This type of performance you will only find at Original Skateboards.
Hills & Sliding: The Freeride Drop 41 is a dropped deck that gives beginners a nice comfortable platform, so you can feel your foot placement. Top mount or drop-through, this board gives riders multiple options for those that are Freeride/Hill oriented.
Downhill: The Arbiter 36 is a top mount intended for people who want to get into racing, downhill, or high speed freeride. With multiple mounting options and wheel wells for multiple wheel options, this board has versatility that is unmatched by its competition.
Boards that offer the best bang for your buck: price efficient.
Double Duty: The Pintail 40 is a top performing board, and it sports a sweet price tag. Start yourself off cruising and carving, but still have some extra change in your pocket.
Pintail 37: This small board also sports a small price tag. It's great for younger riders or those who don't weigh a lot. Like the Pintail 40, it packs performance into a small price tag. The difference between the two is based on your size.
Freeride 41 Rocker Concave: The Freeride 41 Rocker Concave is more gentle than the Freeride Drop 41. It has gas pedals and drop slots, which are upgrade features seen in high end boards. You can get all the performance options with a killer price.
