SUBVERT SKATESCHOOL EMPFEHLUNG!
An absolutely brilliant deck, among other things (but not exclusively) for skateboard beginners who want a deck with a kicktail, with the longest possible wheelbase (i.e. axle distance) for extremely stable/safe standing, but without being unnecessarily long.
This deck is just 2 inches, i.e. 5cm longer than a normal skateboard, but the wheelbase is up to 5.5", i.e. over 13cm longer than a skateboard. This is a must for beginners if you want to avoid falling as much as possible . It's easier to pop a 1-inch narrower board when doing tricks like drop-in and pushing, but the board is just as suitable for those with a larger board -If you practice weight, you will later be able to pop a typical “popsicle” deck more easily (i.e. ollie it up).
So: perfect for beginners, it could at most be a little narrower, with a more rounded nose. But there is no such deck on the market, so this deck remains our biggest recommendation at the moment, especially for adult skateboard beginners.
As a second deck we would then recommend the Z36 of the same width with a 16" wheelbase, and later the O33 with a 15" wheelbase. All 3 decks could be driven with the same set-up (9" axles, approx. 58mm wheels)
And this is what the supplier (USA) writes about the deck:
This is a great double kick free ride board. The board has adjustable wheel mount holes for adjusting your wheel base.
Length: 34”
Width: 9.25”
Wheel Base: 18 to 19.5" - ” inner hole to inner hole, + 0.75" by 8-hole-drilling on both sides
Tail: 7”
Nose: 3"
Concave Depth: .5”
Plies: 8 Canadian Maple Plies
Material: Cold Hard Maple Pressed
The decks are made of Canadian Maple. The quality is great.
We also offer this as a complete board!

And the set-up choice also includes the following option:
Sharkwheel upgrade.
The surcharge is usually extremely low and we barely earn anything from it. But because Volker Lux, passionate skater, founder of subVert and the skate school, wishes everyone the best possible start on the board AND we received feedback from beginner customers that they roll over everything with shark wheels that they fell over with normal wheels , it is our belief that a beginner cruiser board should be equipped with shark wheels. Be sure to take a look at the Galileo contribution to this brave reinvention, here on Prosieben.de
Then you still have the following choice:
Bushings
For children with little weight, you definitely need softer rubber bushings.
Stock bushings (the ones that come standard) are often too hard, especially on cheap axles.
The kilos are only intended as a rough guide.
