ummm don't buy a 9 ply deck. If you must get a blank buy it from www.blankdecks.com or atleast tell me where your geting it from cuz stuff like that can be kinda sketchy,

select canadian blank, if you dont' have a prefered size then get 7.75 in whatever color you want. select the free grip on board so that they grip it for you. get white, clear or blue wheels, wont' matter. 52 or 54 mm wheels. 99a for the white or if you pick colored wheels then 96a is fine. 1" hardware and 1/8" risers. then click buy.
level 1 and level 2 just have more options and less generic stuff in it, level 1 is fine for anyone

yah, West 49 has a huge line of skateshops across canada. They are Canada's 2nd best skateshop probably. They only sell the "real" stuff.... Wordlife where do you live?

canadian blank or full dipped are both fine, i doubt you will be able to tell a difference and yes they're real boards.
