okay, my bro is 21 and has size 12 feet. He is starting to get into skateboarding and i was wondering:

1. What size of board should he get. (im thinking about an 8, but i could be wrong)

2. Does blank make 8in boards? (no i dont mean 8 inches long :P)

I have 12" shoes and ride a 7.75" deck. This size seems a little too small for me and I have a difficult time sticking some of my landings because of the smaller surface area. My next deck will be 8" or maybe even an 8.25".

i have size 11 feet and i ride a 7.625 board an i definately recommend this size to your brother also because you dont want the board to be too big as to where you hav a bit of trouble flipping it. i think 7.625 is the perfect size for you brother. if you cant find 7.625 then 7.75 is great also but plz dont go towards 8+ youll just regret it.

i've never tried an 8, but i have size 11 and a half feet, and i ride 7.75 and its a bit small sometimes, so id go with an 8
