"How you're doing there, it's Simon Bingham, and you're at, No Comply Skate Shop, and I'm going to show you how to buy the perfect long board. What we got here is, two different types of long board.

And then, what we have here is a flatter long board, and this one is pretty much just for carving, and just cruising down hills.

But you can also look on, long board websites, and as Austin here, our town, we have Austin Long Board Club, and you can look on there, and they talk about the different long board products, and the latest trends and technologies with the long board trucks for carving. And you can also probably find that in your town as well, or if you see somebody cruising down the street on a long board, stop them and ask him a few questions."
