Thanks, Zanci for starting this thread, and thanks guys for your answers so far.
I´m looking for some summer sport, which is similar to alpine carving and I thought, longboarding is the one, I should try.
So please can someone give some approximate figures for a longboard, which is most suitable for summer carving, if this is possible. This way, maybe the decision is easier for a beginner. I´ve read already through a lot of sites on the net, but in contrast to winter carving there are (luckily) a lot of companies that offer longboard stuff for summer. I am a bit confused now...
I thought about figures for
- boardflex (I know its difficult to describe the boardflex in figures, maybe softer or stiffer is enough)
- boardwidth
- boardlength
- wheelbase
- concave
- camber
- truckwidth (is this term correct?)
- wheels (stiffness, width, diameter)
Should I care of these figures as a beginner anyway?
Thanks again
