The Zenit catnip is my first longboard and so far it has been a great experience! Perfect for cruising around, very nimble as the deck is rather small. The tails allow to do some fun tricks. It is also super light, so its easy to carry it around when you cant ride it. Im 6 feet and Id say it is a bit too small for me, as the drop through trucks reduce even more the wheelbase. But that might just be my own experience! The blem version of the deck was also perfeclty fine
