Amrgot 42-inch Drop Through Longboard - Professional Concave Cruiser Deck for Adults & Teens | Perfect for Commuting, Downhill Riding & Street Surfing

I'm a forty-something woman who's recently got into long boarding. I'm still a novice - maybe 10 hours total on a board, but I've picked it up well enough and am comfortable cruising around town - no speed or downhills, just casual "strolls". Going out to visit my two nephews (8 & 17) I wanted introduce them to long boarding - they have no experience with skateboards - so looked for some nice entry level boards - not to cheep so they had a solid opportunity to learn, but not too expensive if they just don't get into it.I had three boards sent to them (one for me to play on, too!):Krown Wood Sunset Complete Pintail (because I just love this style)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003DVATUE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Quest Super Cruiser Kick Tailhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008EZNY4W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Xtreme Drop Downhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014DSOPK0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1At home I ride a nice Gold Coast pin tail that I picked up at a local shop so that's what I have to compare these three with and to start I can say, I paid twice as much for the Gold Coast than for any of the three listed above, and you can tell the Gold Coast is a better quality board, however, that said, for the price I was really happy with all three boards. From a beginner's perspective these are all great boards to start with. The bearings and wheels were good - no, the bearings aren't as smooth as what's on my Gold Coast, but for half the price I'm happy.To get to some of he specifics...The Krown Wood arrived warped which is why I only gave it three stars. In it's defense, when I road it, I really didn't notice any problems, but the board is a pretty significant part of the complete set and I feel, even at $70 the board should be right.The Xtreme Drop Down ended up being my favorite to ride, but that was mostly because I liked the drop down set up, everything else seemed pretty comparable to the other two. The paper on the board did seem to scrape off pretty easily, but I won't ding them for that - cheeper quality goods kept the price down so I could get the boys into new toys.The Quest Kick Tail was just all around solid - not warped, paper seemed to stay on it, but it probably saw the least use of the three while I was there.In summary, as a beginner I can say all three are great beginner boards. A little disappointed with the Krown Wood's warped board as it doesn't really give them that board to build on if they want to upgrade a little at a time, but for the price I'd highly recommend any to get started.
