Longboard?
Where is the best place to get a longboard?
Sport Chalet?
or
Zumiez?
and what brand should i get?
http://www.zumiez.com/zshop/ProductDetail.aspx?DepartmentID=2&CategoryID=686&ShopByBrand=False&OrganizationID=-1&ProductID=38694?
Neither one of those is going to have much in the way of longboards. There are skateshops that have a good selection of longboards, and if all else fails, go online for one. One of my local shops, Woody's Halfpipe (www.woodyshalfpipe.com) has an incredible selection. I've gotten three longboards there, and I'm looking at possibly two or three more. You could also go directly to the manufacturer, like Gravity, Insect, Kebbeck, Loaded, or Landyachts.
Would putting longboard trucks and wheels on a skateboard work as a longboard?
I have a skateboard deck, but think that a longboard is so much better for getting around. Just wondering if anyone has done it and how it turned out / what differences would there be from a normal longboard
?
i have done this . .. with a smaller deck you may lose some balance points not alot so depending what you are skating on. but it is not uncommon , if you are using normal skate board trunks with bigger wheels this will not work not even with raisers because you will still inconter deck bite (where the wheels touch the deck and makes you face plant the ground)
What length longboard skateboard should I get my son?
My son is 12 and wants a longboard skateboard for Christmas. I know he wants a Sector 9. He is 4'10" and about 88lbs. Very athletic and an intermediate skateboarder, but new to longboarding. Any advice?
this is the board i would sugest to any one allthough it is a little pricey.

but if you're sticking with sector 9, go with a bamboo board about 40 inches in length.
Whats the difference between surfing on a longboard versus a shortboard?
Other than the obvious difference in board length, what differs in the experience of riding a longboard compared to a shortboard?
Think of a longboard as a cruising board. For the most part, you're going to be surfing mellow waves, getting long rides, and doing slow and "artistic" maneuvers. Think, walking on the board, hanging ten, cross stepping. Real chill vibe.
On a short board, you're moving a lot faster, and doing quicker moves. Think cut back, floater, and roundhouse. A short board is more of a high performance board. You're going to go faster.
A long board is easier to learn on. It's easier to catch the wave, and easier to stand up on. Because there is a larger area you're standing on, it's a lot easier to balance on a long board. The shorter and more narrow a board is, the more "wobbly" it is going to be.
Also, when you're on a long board, it's almost impossible to duck dive when a wave is coming towards you and you're trying to paddle out. Most long boarders have to "turtle" their boards. That's when you grab the rails and flip upside down, so you're under your board, and the fins are pointed up. The wave will usually just pass right over you, so you can flip back over, and continue paddling out. On a short board, you can duck dive to get out to the line up. Basically grab the rails, up closer to the nose of the board, pull yourself up and place a knee or foot on the tail of the board. Kinda make a triangle with your body and the board and shove the nose under the approaching wave. You will "dive" under the wave, and be able to paddle out to the line up.
I recommend owning a few boards that you can choose to ride depending on what the conditions are like. I take out a long board when the waves are small. It will be easier to catch the small waves on a long board. And, I can have a fun, chill day walking up and down the board and doing fun little tricks. On a bigger, more powerful day I'll take out one of my short boards. It's easier to get out to where I want to be, and more fun to do fast maneuvers on the bigger waves.
What is the width and length of a longboard deck for a skateboard?
I am looking for longboard decks online, but I don't know what the width or length of a longboard is.
as youve probably already discovered, not all longboards are cookie cutter shapes such as the dominant street/freestyle boards are. longboards range from 34 to 100+ inches in length.
for a more help, just go to this link. sure, its a grip to read, but nearly everything you need to know about starting up is there.
