Sizing is mostly based on feet. If it's comfortable under your feet when riding, it's a good size for you.- When choosing a deck size, don't just think about the rider's size, but also the type of riding.
- As a general rule, wider decks are good for vert riding (ramps, pools) and cruising because they're more stable. They're also good for bigger riders.
- Narrower decks are good for street tricks like kickflips because they're more responsive. They're also best for smaller riders.
| Deck Width: | 7.45" & Under | 7.5" - 8.0" | 8.0" - 8.25" | 8.25" & Up |
| Recommended Style: | All around riding for kids 14 & under | Street & Technical tricks | Pools, Ramps, Parks, & All Around | Vert, Pools, & Cruising |
