I have a size 12-12 1/2 shoe size and i skate a 7.5 deck. I've been thinking about steping up to a 7.65 deck. Do you think this is a smart choice? Don't start w/ any of the personal prefrence shit please.

Eric Koston skates small decks. I don't think it matters all that much, if you can do a kickflip on a 7.5 you can do them on a 7.65

well ill prob get a 7.62 or 7.63 because they're just a little bigger for more contrl but still easy to flip

The decks in the shop aren't actually what he skates.

go for 7.75,ive been trough 7.5 and 7.65 with the same shoe size as you and i found that 7.75 was the best,better control and better for flips

whoever said its a small difference. It's not. I had two 7.75's at first and it felt big. Then i tried my friends 7.5 and it felt really small. Then i got a 7.62 and it feels perfect. it does make a big difference if you've only ever skated one size. So you are the dumbass

if that much wood makes a difference, then u dont have much skating ability.
