I'm just getting back into it, and I realized I needed a new board. What are some good brands and models?

I love consolidated skateboards.

http://www.consolidatedskateboard.com/

They are great quality and have the funniest graphics of all time. They say things like IM STUPID, I BOUGHT THIS SKATEBOARD and I SUCK and RENTAL BOARD. Check them out they are awesome!

dude I will sell you mine. I put a shitload of money into it but I don't even have time to use it or anything. Its an Element. Brand new Independent trucks used once. Grip tape is in good condition, only a few scratches. No name wheels but they are in really good condition. The bottom of the deck is in really good condition (its red and black, it says element in white writing). I want $100 o.b.o. The trucks were $40 alone. It is all set up and everything. Message me or drop an email to powdr13@hotmail.com if anyone is seriously interested.

alien workshop/habitat(pretty much the same), girl, anti-hero, real, and illenium. I personally think illeniums are the best boards around

get a bulletproof deck if you can afford it! my buddy sk8s for them and he used to go through a normal wood deck every 3 days now he goes through a bulletproof deck every 2 weeks. they're made of kevlar which makes them strong

$100 bucks American plus like $10 UPS shipping. I can probably only ship in the US, I don't know about shipping to Canada. I know it is alot but it is pretty much a brand new setup.

Baker Andrew Reynolds.

Baker is the shit and so is Reynolds. Seriously, also get his spitfire wheels with his name spelled out in weed leaves. Avoid CCS at all cost, go to skate america. They have all the shit I just mentioned.

P.S. If you don't know who the piss drunx are, you'd better find out. They fucking rule.

POWELL POWELL POWELL!!!!! Mini logos are real nice, and briteilites rock too. Right now, I bust or focus like one board each week. good thing i ride free!!!thanks to my brother running a local shop, i am on the store flow, free shit!Jessup griptape is great too, it lasts the longest. Kreeper trucks are cool, cuz they have a glow in the dark model. and wheels dont matter at all

if you like flip.tech skating, the Powell Hella Concave K-12 kills every other board on the market.

get a freeride!!!They are the best longboards mass produced. there are some small companies that make real nice ones too, but stay away from sector9 ones. I broke one clear in half just carving around a bowl. they are shit

I got a flip team victory, with some destructo trucks and flip wheels, it's sweetass. Tons of pop, and I already can do flip tricks again after a couple years.
