For skateboard decks, the width and shape of the deck determine the experience more than the brand: a 7.5" deck prioritizes street maneuverability, while an 8.375" one offers stability in the ramp. Here we offer decks only, without griptape, so you can adapt the board completely to your skating style and personal preferences.
The width of the deck is the first criterion. It ranges between 7" and 9", with the most common sizes on the market in between. For a street skater, narrow decks from 7" to 7.75" greatly increase maneuverability and control of the skateboard. For ramps, decks from 8" to 8.375" offer greater stability and more support surface in transitions. Body weight and height also play a role: a heavier rider benefits from wider decks to better distribute the load.
Besides the width, the shape of the deck matters. The popsicle is the standard shape with symmetrical nose and tail, versatile for street and progression. The concave defines how much the board curves: a medium concave is the reference for balancing comfort and control. Multi-ply laminated maple wood guarantees the durability and impact resistance demanded by skateboarding in street or ramp. The decks we offer maintain consistent characteristics: durable and long-lasting, with no surprises.
The brands in our catalog are Jart, Flip, Plan B, Sovrn and Cruzade, each with an established reputation in the skateboard community. Choosing between brands depends less on the name than on the size and shape of the deck that best suits each person’s skating style. Our customers rate these decks with an average of 4.6 stars, based on more than 440 verified reviews that reflect real experience in street and ramp.
The first question I ask myself is whether the rider’s physical proportions are well aligned with the deck width. If you are under 1.60 m, decks from 7" to 7.5" provide balanced proportions; if you are over 1.75 m, decks from 8" to 8.375" improve support. The right size reduces the learning curve and maximizes control. On the water—or in this case, on asphalt—that translates into a more direct response under your feet from the first session.
What really makes the difference here is the full customization you get when you buy skateboard decks only, without griptape included. Set up the board exactly how you like it: choose griptape, trucks, wheels and bearings according to your preferences and specific skating needs.
