Definitely Element and Alien workshop I would say are the top two because of the good sturdy board and a plus for the awesome designs, plus if you buy a complete board the wheels are great to, i know from experience

almost any skateboard from your local skateboard shop would be a good board, you should steer clear of walmart boards though. my favorite is Girl and Plan B.

Element it lasts the longest and has the best pop. But my second choice is planb

Girl and Habitat

Element and Deathwish always last me the most

GIRL AND REAL!
