Longboard Skateboard Decks

What are the different types of skateboard decks?

I am going to get a skateboard and I know there are a few different kinds of decks. Longboard, shortboard, pool board
I am going to mostly going to be pool surfing. I have tried a few different boards and I would like somthing kind of wide. So what kind of decks are there?

You need to decide if you want to go with an old school board, a wide new school board or a hybrid board. A hybrid board has the nose of an old school and the tail and concave of a new school.
