How wide should your skateboard be?

When choosing your complete skateboard, deck width matters ... a lot. As a rule of thumb: the larger your shoe size, the wider your skateboard deck should be .

But don't worry, it's not a law written in stone: if you have ogre feet and want a narrower skate, go for it, you're the boss.

Choose your skate according to your shoe size and avoid drama:

• Size US 7 / EU 40 → table from 7.875″ to 8.125″
• Size US 8 / EU 41 → 8.00″ to 8.25″
• Size US 9 / EU 42 → 8.00″ to 8.375″

Example : For shoe size EU 40, we recommend a full board width of 7.875″ - 8.125″.

Our skateboard size chart provides clear recommendations for choosing the deck width that best fits your shoe size. And if you want to get straight to the point, use the "width" filter in the shop to see only complete skateboards in your perfect size.

And the length of the skateboard? It shouldn't be a surfboard.
When choosing your skateboard, the length of the deck also counts , although not as much as the width.
Of course, if the board is too long for your legs, you'll end up fighting it like a dragon.

A skateboard of the right length gives you more control, especially if you're just starting out and don't want to be kissing the ground all the time.

Important fact : Wider skateboards are usually longer too. So everything goes hand in hand, just like the nose and the tail.

Choose the length of your skateboard according to your height:

• You are 160 cm tall → board from 31.5″ to 31.875″
• You are 170 cm → 31.75″ to 32.00″
• You are 180 cm → 31.875″ to 32.25″
