| Real are great,
I'm currently using one now..
Quick tip:
Don't buy a deck that's expensive, like big brands.. just to roll with the crowd.. If you like the shape of the big brands such as element, Enjoi etc.. then go ahead.. (I'm not forcing you not to buy them, lol)
that's why I had a Landscape for a bit, they are really good and pretty cheap for a deck..
My answer would be either Landscape or Real.

| I'm riding an enjoi 7.9 atm and its sooo nice. All the resin 7 boards are the same shape and AMAZING. The cheapest of them are cliché decks, I had one before my current deck and its amazing. I got the enjoi super cheap though, hence buying it over a cliché. I also love chocolate/girl decks, but they are like £50, which is more than I've had recently.
Definitely recommend the resin 7 boards (I think its enjoi, cliché, blind, and some other companies? I forget which), the decks are SOO strong its ridiculous. And they don't loose pop either. Like, they might delam if you fuck them up, like any deck, but even with a delam they don't loose shit loads of pop, which I find other decks do. So a huge thumbs up from me there, and I've tried soo many decks in my 7-8 years of skateboarding, so I think I know fairly well what I'm talking about.
BUT it is down to preference. |

| yes elliott just like me bruvdren :3 i recommend a cliché or a Kill City,( which i have, i think its a UK based brand) kill city are quite cheap, about £35 - £40, and have the quality of all the mainstream boards |
