alright so i no there are lots of longboard theads but im a beginner and i want to be more specific i need a board for cruising around town i dont really want to have a sector 9 and my price range is under $200
Kracked Skulls are dirt cheap (under 130$) and will get you great hardware and a good deck. It's a great commuter all around setup. I'd recommend getting decent hardware as a beginner and not buying some shitty sector 9 setup that you'll have to completely replace.
Go with an Arbor. I've had a bunch of friends start out on those, and their a good way to begin. Not to expensive, and a really solid ride for someone who's new to longboards.
