Step 1: Choose Your Skateboard Deck
The skateboarder’s size, skating style, and personal preference will determine what size skateboard deck you need. Standard skateboard decks are between 7.5" and 8.25" wide. For beginners and versatile skaters who want to do flip tricks and street skate on the same board, 7.75" decks are the best option. Smaller decks are better for technical tricks, and larger decks are best for ramps and park skating.
