Frequently asked questions

What size skateboard should I get?

Choose by deck width, matched to your shoe size and style. Adults street skating typically use 8.0–8.25"; park and transition skaters prefer 8.25–8.5"; cruisers go wider still. Children use 7.0–7.5" decks. Width is the key measurement — length and wheelbase matter less for most skaters.
