Longboarding or Skateboarding?

If your not into tricks, you should get a small sized longboard. The longboard wheels and trucks differ from skateboard ones and are awesome for transportation. If you don't have hilly areas, you may not be able to downhill, but that doesn't really seem to matter much to you. Right now I can't think of any boards to fit ur needs cuz i'm more into skateboarding, but check out silverfishlongboards.com. Post about ur size and what you are looking for in a board and the people there are really helpful and will respond within minutes. Goodluck and hope you have fun longboarding!
