If you are interested in skateboarding, the most important thing to do is buy the best shoe you can find. Before you buy your first skateboard, skates, try your friends, or to other guests about what they do and do not like about them.
Before you buy skate, make sure you know what to look for. Cover (or "board") is the most important. Most are made of plywood. The biggest difference here is between 7 and 9 layer-layer boards. 9 layers are usually cheaper, but also heavier and difficult to work. covered plastic is cheaper, but there is no capacity for intensive use. Fiberglass or carbon board are good options that will be long lasting.
