It's all personal preference to be honest. I just got a plan B T.puds board and it is the best board I have ever gotten before. The pop, concave and feel is amazing! Also plan B boards are known for lasting a long time. More info below vvv
If you have a Skate shop like Zumiez where you live go in their and get a custom board made. Here are some great well known skating brands: Plan B, Element, Girl, Death wish and Rowley Flip. My first board was Rowley flip and I loved it! The pop lasted a long time (pop meaning how high you can get when you hit the tail down.) and the board was really good for doing tricks. I recently got a Plan B and it is AMAZING! My favorite board is probably Plan B now. It has a good concave, pop and feel to it, they also last a long time. On the other hand the Element boards lose their pop in 3 month and intend to break sooner but they are really impressive boards for the first 3 months. I don't know much about Deathwish. Girl is a good brand to get but they don't have any special technology like in other boards like Plan B T.puds. The plan B T.Puds board has discs in the tail so you can get extra POP. If you decide to go with Element get the Element helium board is is INSANELY light weight. The board I am using right now is the Plan B T.puds and I am loving it. Now if you're not going to be doing grinds and you want a light weight boards get tensor magnesium trucks they are really light weight but if you want to do grind I would say go for Krux trucks they last a long time and are not too heavy they are also meant for grinds. Now for the bearing go with Bones reds they make your wheels spin for forever. Eventually your wheels will lose their spin so pick up some Speed cream to place in your bearings (look up a tutorial on how to apply it, you will need a UNIT skate tool to apply it.) Now for wheels go with Spit fires or Reds. Get a wheel size of 50mm, 51mm to 55mm doesn't matter too much. Now for grip tape Mob is good and black magic is good but if you really want good grip that will rip up your shoes (good thing) go with Grizzly grip tape <3! You're pretty much done. Good luck and don't stop skating! Practice. Try, try or die. Your total will probably be 150$
If your last board didn't last you with the tricks you're describing, that's either a bad board or you got rid of it. I'd recommend a Real. They're really easy to adapt too. DGK and Plan B have their own signature shape which should be chosen once you've gotten really good.
I've skated all of these brands. My favorite was the Real. They lasted me the longest and had the most pop.
Plan B
Real or Dgk.
