It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I have a decent amount of experience with traditional skateboarding and want to get into longboarding. I am looking for a symmetrical longboard with kicks, preferably shaped like a standard skateboard.

What do you think would be a good choice? This would be primarily for commute, cruising, and maybe some mellow carving.

Not really looking to do tricks, but after riding my friend's longboard I immediately missed the kicks for pivoting quickly just getting around.

Update: After looking around some more, I found the Landyachtz Clark which looks a lot like what I'm after: https://landyachtz.com/shop/all/skate/boards/the-clark/

Thank you for all your suggestions, all these boards look awesome! This probably won't be my last longboard either, so feel free to keep making suggestions.

Plus, someone in the future might find them useful too!

Arbor Shakedown 37 or Landyachtz Coffin XL maybe?

Do you have a specific length in mind? The longer a board the harder it will be to maneuver with all the extra weight/momentum on the end.

I ordered the Shakedown 34 on accident but now I like it too much to return it so it's just getting added to my skateboard collection.

I might still pick up the 37 later on but I am trying to get something more in longboard territory but standard skateboard shaped. Is that even a thing?

Update: Landyachtz Clark looks like the deck I'm after.
