FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
What is a skateboard deck?
A skateboard deck is the flat board you stand on when skating. It’s typically made of multiple layers of maple wood and comes in various shapes and sizes to suit different riding styles. Decks do not include trucks, wheels, or grip tape unless stated otherwise, so they’re ideal for skaters looking to build a custom setup.
How do I choose the right skateboard deck size?
Deck size depends on your height, shoe size, and skating style. Generally, a deck between 7.5”–8.0” is great for street skating and tricks, while wider decks (8.0” and above) offer more stability for ramp, park, or cruising.
What’s the difference between deck shapes and concave levels?
Deck shapes and concave (the curvature across the width) affect how a board feels under your feet. Steeper concave provides more control and helps with flip tricks, while mellow concave offers a more relaxed, stable feel.
