BZ is a really good board,Manta will prob last the longest, toobs are good too. even if you are still starting off, try get something with a bat-tail, which makes it easier to do spinners(360s) that is the most basic move in bodyboarding. you will also need fins to help you paddle onto the waves, i recommend either "vipers","redley's" or "toobs blunt cuts", you will also need wax, a leash or cord, and if you want to avoid a rash on your abbs, a rash guard or vest.

Burton is by FAR the best. The only problem with them is they are marketing geniuses and know a thing or 2 about getting your hard earned cash. My Burton Canyon is now called a Baron and has a $100 higher price tag. They are the EXACT same board. Stood them up side by side at the board shop, same EXACT info on the tags and everything. Like I said, it's all marketing, but they do put out a quality product. One of those love/hate deals, lol.\nI have Ride boots and Bindings, had em for 6 years now so they definitly can take the wear and tear. Saloman makes some nice stuff too as well as K2-good boards.\nWhen I bought my canyon, I bought one from the year before that the board shop had in the back of the rack. Caught a NICE discount.

The best/cheapest board for begginers is probley the 2006 CWB Sol with The CWB Torq bindings. You can find good prices at www.bartswatersports.com. I just bought this same package last night. Also check out www.wakeboarder.com. It cost me about $350 with shipping. You can get wakeboard packages alot cheaper but you will find that they are all junk. I had a pair of cheap orbit bindings and they ripped after a month. You want to make sure you don't skimp on the bindings because you will reget it if you do. www.Westmarine.com and www.sportsauthority.com are other good sites. good luck

Grind King [obviously] is good for grinding....\nI've heard that krux are good too, but i wouldnt know personally\n\nBY FAR, the best bearings ever are Zero Black Widow Bearings, and they seem to fit good with the best deck ever, Zero....

Just about anything is good enough for a beginner. There's no need to spend $150-200 on a board for someone who is just beginning. Go to your local skateshop. Most will have package deals on complete boards that are pretty generic but still a good board for a beginner.

If you have a tight budget, maybe consider getting a setup that's not ALL burton stuff. There are other good brands, and burton bindings will fit into any board and any bindings will fit into a burton board. If you aren't willing to consider other brands then try these places:\nwww.the-house.com\nwww.overstock.com\nwww.backcountry.com\nwww.christysports.com\nwww.shorelinesnowboards.com\nwww.boardsforless.com\nwww.snowboarddepot.com\nwww.boardzone.com\nwww.nextag.com\n\nAlso try looking at ski swaps and end of the season sales (now is a good time for that :) hope you find what you're lookin for!

ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe. It is a good board. It runs around $120. I have had excellent luck with Hitachi hard drives and they have excellent performance. 400GB Hitachi will run about $175.

Ok.\n\nFirst of all, A board. Since your first starting to skate, you wanna get a good street board. From my view, ZERO is the best board to start with, they are easy to get used to, and have a lot of pop to get your ollies down. Other people have told me that Alien Workshop is also a really good beginners board, and they seemed pretty good boards....\nStay away from Birdhouse, [which is REALLY heavy, you will never be able to ollie with that], Blind [cheap and flimsy] and Element [Widely made, and made cheaply]. Believe me, get a Zero or an Alien Workshop.\n\nNext is shoes. It really doesnt matter what shoes you get [I like etnies, globe, and osiris], they are really all the same. It seems harder to ollie with DC's, but people i know can do just as good with them.\n\nBy far, the best truck brands are Phantom 2, and krux. I have heard Grind King are good, but i know personally that Phantom 2 and krux are reeeeaaallllyyyy good.\n\nAsk anyone, Zero Black Widow Bearings are by far the best bearings.\n\nSpitfire are the same for wheels.\n\nYou don't really have to completly dress like a skater, like the girl said, but dont wear like Abercrombie and skate, unless u wanna be called a poser. So if you want, get some skating brand shirts and hoodies, or just normal clothes that feel comfartable. [A t-shirt and blue jeans work fine for me...]

If you're learning to surf, I suggest you rent boards for a while until you can tell the difference in different boards. Then you can make an educated decision on what kind of board you want without dishing out a lot of money on a board that you won't like or won't work for you. If you have friends that surf, borrow their old boards. At least it's free and a great way to experiment on a variety of styles. Be aware of what you like about different boards and how variations to the shape of the board will effect the performance (length, width, rocker, tail, fins, etc). That way when you get a board of your own you'll have some idea of what will work for you most of the time.

Well first you need to buy a ccs mag. Then you can look at the boards. Personal I like the Zero boards with element barring or abek 3,5,or 9s. The  trucks are your choice. You can also buy a complete board and not have to worrier about getting different trucks and Bering's.

Element Fibos suck,\n\ntry Blind, easy to do flip tricks on.\n\n\nDarkstar, they use to last alot longer now a days they try to hard and the boards kinda suck, but I heard alot of a good, but bad.\n\nFlip, those last for ever, so far Blinds and Flips have lasted the best for me...\n\nElements suck as to begin with...\n\n\nBut try other boards man, find one your comfortable with, and try to get one that lasts.\n\nKeep up the skateboarding
