The Rune Excalibur Longboard Deck is a good beginner deck to get a feel for some speed. With the big drop in the deck and drop through mounting it is also nice for long distance riding and cruising.
The Rune is a light weight deck and comes without griptape so you can decide what you want.
The board is designed more for beginners and not so much for true hardcore downhill/ freeride riders.
