Bob, without hesitation, shop online or run to a local skate/surf shop/ I was just looking at some retro old school boards tonight with my son at the surff shop, and am about to make a purchase again. My current stick is 41", with 52/76 wheels........But what I would give for something similiar to 31", with some OJ's or Road Ryders, or even Kryptonics, 5.75" trucks oh man I could go on and on!!!

Bob, ask him if he wants to do tricks/flips or carve/cruise.........Thats a good starting point....These are some of the best boards on the planet Bob.........
Thanks guys Patrick that site looks great, those boards look awesome. My son wants to do tricks/flips and I think I may also get one and learn with him although I will probably lean towards the carve/cruise side He hasn't shown a lot of interest in sports so when he mentioned this I thought it would be a great way for us to spend more time together although I have to admit skateboarding wouldn't have been something I would have picked myself
