Strong Board

I have been longboarding for a few months now, not to bad at it. But I've had two boards already and both have snapped within a month or so. Could anyone suggest a nice strong board that is fairly low to the ground, but will last me atleast 6 months?

What the hell are you riding, Downhill boards don't snap that easily... and what are you doing to the poor boards?

Buy the Glyde.

Strangely enough there is two for sale!

They last a lifetime. Honest. Made in Aus. One of the best boards around. Super solid!

Plus the guys selling are top guys, won't rip you off and they are the nicest guys.

the last board i had was a comet fsmini, not really a downhill board, but im just looking for something a bit more sturdy.

Good effort in breaking that! I haven't managed to after over a year of riding on mine and abusing it to bits!

Go the Glyde, or check out the Daddow boards, or any thing that is 11ply or up.  The evo will last forever, but I don't like the feel of that board, and get a topmount or drop deck, not drop through, that will make it break easier.

 

Go out, try some friends boards, or go those glyde boards, you will love them.

how about the landyachtz switch?

Good board for sliding and everything, can handle speed quite well, and should be strong.

Have a look and decide for yourself.  With good quality boards, you pretty much can't go wrong.

Rayne Nemesis is another good option.

 

You're going to get a million opinions because there are a heap of sturdy dropped decks out there.
