Where can i rent a longboard skateboard?

Skateboard or Longboard?

• I want to learn how to skate on a board purely for travel purposes alone. should i buy a longboard which is a lot more expensive to learn or get the cheaper skateboard? Basically, will i see a considerable difference in using a longboard than skateboard?

• Answer:

  If you want something just for travelling purposes, you should go for the longboard. You can pick them up cheap in some places if you want. A longboard will travel further with less effort and less pushing and they go faster than skateboards. Longboards are also less likely to get caught on rocks or make you fall off. Hope this helps :) Oh and also there are a lot of cruiser longboards out there for travelling purposes, so here's some websites to get you started if you like : http://www.hopkin.com.au/decks-cruiser-longboard/ http://www.originalskateboards.com/longboards (look at carving/cruising longboards) http://www.daddiesboardshop.com/search.aspx?find=cruisers Just have a look around on websites like these if you like or you can just get a longboard from a local shop or second hand or whatever :) Pintails are also good for travelling puruposes .
