I have a 40" Greenbrew handmade board with risers in between indy
150mm trucks. It's got a kicktail and a little flex with some super
grippy seismics.

I would recommend finding a local shop and trying out some boards,
that's exactly what I did and I love my board. Now, I'm still
freaked out at how fast I can go but otherwise it's fun.

Sometimes the perfect board will find you so just go out there and
ride some different boards.

Oh yeah, figure out if you want flex, no flex, a kicktail, no
kicktail, a shorter long board, or a longer one, how wide you want
it, then ask someone at your skate shop what they would recommend.
