Answer:

7.5-7.75" are average sizes. Anything in that range will be fine. If your friends skate, try riding their boards around and seeing what feels best. I have size 11 feet and skate a 7.75, and my friend has size 12 and skates a 7.5, so that's not really important. the thinner boards flipping faster thing is a myth. If anything, slightly bigger boards flip easier, because you get more torque on the flip while adding very little weight.

ok ur shoe size has nothing to do with it...listen to crazy kid. it all depends on what type of skating ur gonna do...but i suggest a 7.5 board if ur gonna be street skating (i street skate and i have a 7.5 it works great) and dont go out and buy an expensive board. cause u will go threw alot of skateboards before u get good

Ummmm, Crazy Kid said it all so I got nothin to say haha! But yeah 7.75 is a great deck size for street skating.

crazy kid is WRONG!!! Shoe size has everything to do with it. 8.00 is a great size. that is what the pros skate. But with your shoe size being so small i would go with a 7.75 or 7.8. this is coming from an experienced skater
