Deck Size

[Reflection17]

I may be stupid for asking this question, but what difference does deck width make? Should i get a deck based on my shoe size? I currently have a 7.88, and i wear a size eleven shoe, Is this okay?

shoe size has nothing to do with it it is just preference my fried wears a size seven and he is skating an 8.25 so just try different sizes until you find what feels right

Unless you're mainly a mini ramp skater, get a smaller deck.

It's harder to flip tricks on a bigger deck, there's more wood to push, get it?

Try a 7.625 or 7.75. A 7.88 is way too big. I got 11 feet, and I use a 7.5.

Stick with 7.88. I wear a size 10 but 7.88's are perfect. I can flip them way easier and much better too. Anything smaller is too small for me. Well, just do what feels right.

I got arolund size 12-13 feet and I skate a 7.5, 7.75.

i dont think your shoe size matters at all, though id recommend getting a 7.5 deck width

a lot of people skate really skinny decks I'm skating an 8 mystery and waiting for 2 toy machine 8.25 to come in I dont think people should be tellin him what to get he has to figure it out for himself

[Reflection17]

Well I'm glad to hear that you're against helping people canadian sk8er.. -.-

[canadian_sk8er]

Not that its just no one is going to tell you what you like they are just saying what they like deck size you have to figure out for yourself
