What to choose for a skateboard deck size and style

Just a tid bit for you on choosing what size skateboard deck you should be buying. Depending on what type of skater you are depends on the skateboard you ride. Here is a chart that can help you out:

To choose the Length of the skateboard Deck Use Height VS. Deck Size.

Height Deck Size

Under 4" = 29" or smaller

4'-4"10" = 29" to 30"

4'10"-5'3" = 30.5" to 31.5"

5"3-5'8" = 31.5" to 32"

5'8"-6'1" = 32" to 32.5"

Over 6'1" = 32.4" &b up

To choose the Width of the Skateboard Deck
The Width depends on your foot size. The common size for a skateboard deck is between 7.5" to 8"

A lot of skatepark riders will use a wider board at about 8". Street skaters will usually choose a more narrow skateboard deck at around 7.5" which is easier for performing tricks.
