Skateboarding: What size deck should I get?

  • Ive just started skateboarding, and my setup feels too small, it's a 7.5 and my shoe size is 9-10 uk sizing, im 15 years old and need some ideas about what deck I should get, ...show more

  • Answer:

    You could try an 8 inch but the wider you go the more difficult it is to learn flip tricks. So get an 8 inch if you want to ride vert and half pipe or if you think that you will still be able to learn how to do flip tricks. I would recommend going into your local skate shop and standing on a few decks in the shop and ask the workers for advice on what they think. But Its mainly personal preferences, what ever feels good for you. If an 8 inch feels to big for you you could try a deck in between a 7.75 and an 8 something like a 7.8 or 7.9. Hope you find the right size deck
