INFORMATION:
Which skateboard deck is right for me? What should I know before buying a deck? What separates the different types of decks from each other? What effect does my shoe/body size have? You can find answers to all these questions and more here!
You’re looking for a skateboard for your daughter or your son? Here you’ll get all infos on how to choose the best skateboard for your kid:
Throughout the history of skateboarding, decks have gone through many phases of development and changes. Today there are decks suited especially for particular terrains, with specific widths, lengths, shapes and special construction technology.
Most decks are made out of North American maple wood, which due to its slow growth, is particularly durable and stable. Traditionally, seven layers of maple wood interlaid with a water-based glue or special epoxy resin are pressed together under high pressure in order to create a skateboard deck.
The size of decks is almost always measured in the American unit of inches. One inch corresponds to the European unit of measurement of 1 Zoll, which is 2.54 cm.
1.1 SKATEBOARD DECKS: CONSTRUCTION & SIZE
Normally, a skateboard is 28”-33” (70-80 cm) long.
The board is divided into three parts: the nose (front), the wheelbase (between the trucks) and the tail (rear). o find out which end is the front and which the rear, take a closer look at your deck. The nose is usually slightly wider and steeper than the tail.
Tip: The design of the deck can also help distinguish the nose from the tail end. Most graphics are designed so that the nose is the top, or left, respectively.
The nose and tail are the rounded ends of your deck, which are more or less steeply curved upward. There are also flatter and steeper designs based on the type of board. The theory is that steeper nose and tail ends lend more pop to your deck because of the increased leverage. In contrast, a flatter nose and tail provide a better board feel.
Pop = the effect of kicking the tail of the board against the ground in order to propel the board upwards and become airborne
The wheelbase is normally 12”-15” long and not only impacts the overall length of the board but also how it handles. Simply put, the shorter the deck, the agiler it feels, and the longer the deck, the smoother and more stable it feels.
1.2 SKATEBOARD DECKS: CONCAVE
Concave refers to the longitudinal curvature of the deck. The higher this curvature, the more pressure you can put on the edges of your deck, which improves the steering and enables you to flip your board more easily. Skateboard decks are usually distinguished between low, medium, or high concave. You can decide which level is most comfortable for you by trial and error. We’d recommend beginners to start with a medium concave skateboard deck.
Unfortunately, manufacturers reveal very little information about their decks’ concaves. Therefore, a medium concave by brand “x” can turn out to be very different from the medium concave of another brand. Due to deviations and variances during the manufacturing process, you can’t assume that the concaves of two similar decks will be 100% identical.
1.3 SKATEBOARD DECKS: SHAPE
Street skating, bowl, vert, and cruising all place different demands on a skateboard deck. For this reason, different shapes have been developed to best suit the respective requirements.
STREET SKATEBOARD DECK
A standard deck shape for street and park skating is the Twin-Tip. This means that the nose and tail are virtually the same shape so that you can easily ride switch. When it comes to the form of skateboard decks, this so-called “Popsicle Shape” has been the standard for years.
switch = The position when you’re riding forward, but the foot that would normally be on the tail, is on the nose. Essentially, the rider is “switching” his or her stance from regular to goofy (or vice versa), which is not to be confused with riding fakie. Fakie describes riding backwards, with the tail facing the direction of movement while your feet don’t change position.

POOL / BOWL DECK:
Skateboard decks for transition skating are almost always a bit wider. Here you’ll normally find decks with a width upwards of 8.25”. In addition to the normal but broader street skateboard shapes, there are also decks reminiscent of old school skateboards. These are now commonly referred to as “shaped decks.”

SHAPED DECKS:
Shaped decks have established themselves in recent years as a hybrid form of new school street decks and old school pool decks. These decks were originally developed for transition skaters who also wanted to enjoy the occasional street session. Thanks to their pronounced concaves, as well as curved noses and tails, you not only have the perfect transition board, but also the possibility to skate the streets and still do tricks.
Hint: If you’re just starting to skate and want to learn tricks we would recommend a classic popsicle deck.

CRUISERS:
Many different types of materials are used to make cruisers. In addition to the traditional pure maple, bamboo can also be combined with maple or even used exclusively. There’s also the famous cruiser made of plastic, better known by its name “Pennyboard.” Besides the Penny brand boards, Bureo, SK8DLX, Anuell, Globe, and Diamond also make plastic cruisers.
Cruiser skateboards also differ in length, width and shape. The special thing about them is the softer wheels and easy manoeuvrability. Thus they are perfectly suited for cities, to get you from point A to point B. They typically have a small curved tail and a flat nose. Cruisers are generally already fully assembled and “Ready to Skate.” If a longboard is too large for you, or just isn’t your cup of tea, then a cruiser is the right choice for you.
2. SKATEBOARD DECKS: SIZE RECOMMENDATION
The decisive factor in choosing a skateboard deck usually is its width. Beginners, in particular, may find it difficult to decide on the perfect deck width. If you’re not sure what width suits you best, your shoe size and height are good indicators. By trying out different sizes and getting a feel for your board, you’ll find out what’s most comfortable for you. Therefore, we’ve assembled a few recommendations for you to make the selection a little bit easier.
HOW SKATEBOARD DECK WIDTH INFLUENCES RIDING PERFORMANCE
One of the fundamental factors is that wider boards offer a smoother ride at high speeds. However, they are also heavier, which makes them a bit harder to flip so you’ll need more power in your legs. On the other hand, the wide surface provides plenty of space for catching the board, which can be an advantage when landing tricks. So if you’re into gaps, transitions or just going full speed, a wider board might be right for you.
Contrary to wide boards, narrow boards are lighter and easier to flip. Especially for beginners, this can be an advantage because you’ll need less power to learn your first tricks. However, narrow decks can be hard to control at high speed and have less space to catch and land on. Therefore, narrow decks are ideal for technical skateboarding like doing combos on curbs or on flat ground.
HOW SKATEBOARD DECK LENGTH COMES INTO PLAY
Next, to the width, you’ll also find the deck length in our product descriptions. In order to hold the balance on your skateboard, we suggest that you use your height as a point of reference. You’ll find more information about that in paragraph 2.2.
Regardless of special shapes, wider decks are also typically longer. Of course, they perform a bit differently as compared to shorter decks. While short decks are easier to spin or rotate horizontally, like with 180s or Shove-Its, longer boards provide a bit more surface to catch and make landing easier.
Tip: A long board with short legs isn’t usually a fun combo since it’ll be hard to pull your front foot all the way up to the deck’s nose. So if you’re not that tall, it’s probably best to get a shorter board.
