Is a longboard best for beginners?
99% of beginners should start with a cruiser longboard. If you’re looking for a beginner cruiser board, I’d recommend it being at least 30” long and 8.5” wide.
A long, wide deck will be easier to balance on. The wheels should be large/soft (60mm-80mm / 77a-83a) so they can easily roll over cracks/bumps.
