Like any skateboard, go pro quality.

Rayne is making very good wood these days as is Comet—both popular with my customers.

Socal has them.

Agreed.
The Comet Professor Schmidtt is on sale at SoCal for only $65.

I have that Metric Bomb and it is an awesome board. I'm surprised there's not some excitement about it here, with the Schmitt Stix heritage and all..

Yep, Comet makes quality stuff. I have a 10"x 39" topmount of theirs. Nice and thick with killer concave.

I also dig Jet longboards.

he bought a complete santa cruz from ccs. now ive never had a long board or ever even ridden one for that matter so if this is a stupid question please forgive me but it looks like the trucks were put on backwards. are the king pins supposed to point outwards?

Yes. They call those "reverse kingpin trucks", or RKP's.
They actually turn better than regular trucks, or TKP's as they're called.

Do yourself a huge favor, ride that board, you'll love it.
