wood or composite?

How much are you looking to spend? You can get a new oak ebay real cheap if you want wood and since your smaller I would suggest around 40 inches or smaller.

I've heard alot of good things about this board but never ridden it myself...

if you are still growing this will be fine, I think everyone should at least start on a wood deck to appreciate them, then if you get more into it buy an integ or an arson when they come out.

marshro, you made a good choice dude... any skate youll get youll love, your just going to have to get used to that skate and then down the road if you dont like it, you can change.

$159US + Shipping would work out close too $450 Aussie so you did alright. 1st Board is always a hard buy as you don't really know what your after, and alot of shop people like to pretend they no what they are talking about, when they don't. (I am also sure there are alot of people who do know as well)

Hope you enjoy your board. Make sure you try few different ones as you progress, it will give you a good idea of what your next purchase should be.
