    Just got my Ditch Life ATV and it's a hoot! It's what I like about my Dinghy Classic but more stable!! My #1 favorite is still my Drop Carve, I can push 20+ miles and have a great time bombing paths with confidence because of how low it is, versus a top-mount like the Ditch Life and Dinghys.

    My all time fave Landyachtz is my 38" Drop Cat from the first year of Drop Cat production. It feels more agile, capable of tighter turns, than the 38" Drop Cat from last year (I guess that's down to the 2 degree difference in truck angle?). I also have (and love) last year's 33" with the Vibes graphic. It rides almost exactly the same as my older 38", I just pick the one that best matches whatever shoes I'm wearing :P In any case, the Drop Cat is a lovely board, I would recommend the current 33" Drop Cat to just about anybody looking for something fast and stable, good for commuting, and generally just a joy to ride. Also Landyachtz completes are so good, just buy a complete board.

    My second ever board (after a cheap amazon drop through) was the Stratus 46 spectrum since I knew I wanted to do dancing. It's an absolute blast and my favorite purchase of last year hands down. Every day I can I go out and practice around 2 hours! I've transitioned into freestyle too so I'm eyeing the Tony Danza for that shorter, lighter setup.

    Not realizing was a thing, and slowly inching towards what I'm actually looking for/what works best for me, has been my whole journey so far. First, it was, like, "I want to skateboard", then it was, "I probably just need a cruiser, actually", then, "A longboard is kind of awesome". At this point, "I should have a cruiser and a longboard, and practice with both" is where I've settled. I wonder where I'll find myself next month...

    The Drop Cat is so good, I don't think you'll be disappointed if that's what you pick. I like the feel of the 33" over the 38" myself, the 38" is maybe a little too stable and not so turny. If you're very very tall then maybe the 38" is the better choice just to give you the larger standing platform. Personally I wouldn't pick the Evo unless you're actually planning on going blisteringly fast down crazy hills, although even if that's your plan, there are other boards that can do that and more these days. The Evo is very heavy and not a great cruiser. Using it to get around town is like taking an F1 car to the grocery store, it's out of it's element and will struggle with curbs and driveways. It's so dedicated to being fast and stable downhill that it's not very good at doing anything else.

If they want a kicktail check out some of our Cruisers or ATV boards. Skiff, Raft, Perfecto, DitchLife, Dinghy Blunt. All are good options for a first board Here's a short video about some boards for campus: kzread.infoGiSyIMvyD6U This one was filmed on campus: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mqCV08-IhJnRcpc.html

This comment is a little if not entirely corrective in pointing out a video like this highlights experience shredding. So much so it’s seductive and misleading. Maybe even dangerous to beginners, like whom you’re educating here. Tragic reality we know and seen firsthand that is unsettling and never escapes you. Riding discipline types vary and take months to years of solid dedication. Assuming the target audience doesn’t know basics, at least throw in some advisory jive. Simmer on that. Observation less safety in the community. Not good.
