Where can i rent a longboard skateboard?

Longboard skateboard for a beginner girl? Help please :)?

  • So I'm a girl, 19, looking to buy my first longboard, never ridden one before, been on a skateboard a few times in my life. Don't plan on doing anything fancy like tricks, but to just get and maneuver around my college campus and around my college area, that happens to be pretty hilly. (im taking into account of not only the joy of going downhill, but the trek back uphill) Which i have some questions about; are you able to push longboards uphill? or would that be too tiring and would i just end up having to carry it back on foot? Im between 3 longboards at the moment: http://www.amazon.com/Atom-Pintail-Super… I like that it's a 'carver' which Ive learned that it just means its more easily maneuverable by leaning, which i like the idea of. i can dodge ppl and make turns more easily. but i gotta admit, the whole pintail thing just doesnt make it seem like a longboard and doesn't attract my eye as much, and does it mean less stability?, because it seems smaller in width. http://www.amazon.com/Sector-Drainer-Com… This brand, i know, is pretty good. and in the description, it says its a pretty well rounded longboard, so i guess its still easily pretty maneuverable as a carver, but probably not as much as the one above. another thing that i like is it seems it has a wider deck, which means better stability for a beginner like me? http://www.amazon.com/Sector-Vagabond-Co… this honestly just attracts me because of the combination of the brand + the slightly lower price; and again the style and shape of the deck/ a wider deck/ more stability? p.s. im 5'7", 120 lbs Also I'd like to know which of these boards requires less amounts of pushing to keep going. Upgrading any parts or getting a more expensive longboard is kinda out of the question, financially. ANY and all information is appreciated that you can offer since I'm a beginner and totally new to longboarding. Thanks in advance! :)
