Perhaps a lot of skateboarders in America have been fascinated with skateboarding through Sector 9 Longboards as well. Figuratively, S9 has directly or indirectly invited a lot of newbies to try and get into the skateboarding sports. It's most fascinating to know that even those who are no longer using S9 will tell you that at some part of their lives, they've actually used S9, especially during their newbie years.

Sector 9 Longboards are best for amateurs because it's not exactly built for speed. Therefore, there's a lot of space for you to learn without worrying about going too quick. They are so far, the best practicing boards. That is the reason why newbies love S9s.
Stability is where S9 is best known for. Since there are a lot of skateboarders who are still having problems with balance, especially when doing complex tricks, this is where S9 longboards come in. This is also another reason why it's the best beginner boards - its sturdy and stiff, perfect for amateurs who have not yet practiced their balance. We have to admit that there are 2 things we probably had problems with during our newbie years - balance and speed. Unless you're like some skateboard prodigy, you may have shortcomings in these certain areas while still beginning.
Learning on more complex and larger boards may be too much for a beginner, not to mention the increased chance of getting into accidents. At first, skateboarding can be quite hard and dangerous but that's the reason why you're learning it - because you're up for the challenge. Therefore, you need a good supporting board and a good supporting board will most likely come from Sector 9 Longboards.
Despite it's lack of adequate speed, a lot of professionals still like riding with S9 longboards mainly because this company produces some of the sturdiest longboards, perfect for keepsake and leisure rides in the future. My first S9 longboard is the BH deck and although I've changed some of its components and added some innovative experiments on my own, I was thrilled to find out I can still use it after 3 years of dormancy. Also, if you haven't known, S9 also have good concave decks. Maybe some of them may not be too exaggerated and sophisticated in designs but they seriously ride stiff! Perfect for downhill!
