| To me, the biggest change in a set up is deck width. I changed the other way, 29 to 32, and I could barely use it, because the change. If you have small fingers, get the 29, but if they're normal/large, stay with the 32 |

| It doesn't depend on the size on your fingers.. It's all about your preference. Get a 29mm see if it works you. For some people it takes time to get used to a new size. I skate 26mm and 32mm on the same day without trouble. |

| I can go from deck size to deck size, with no problems. I say go for it. If it fails you, trade it for something. I personally prefer 29-30mm decks. |

| I started on a 26, change to a 32 was easy for me, I can still ride anywhere from 26 - 34 without more that 10 minutes getting-used-to. My favourite is still my Blosom 32.5 tho |

| I like 30mm, and that's the size I make for myself. Good feel and flow of a wide deck with the performance of a 29mm. Give it a try! |

Wider isn't any "flowier", it gives you more control while sacrificing some responsiveness. Flow is all your skill and riding style, it has nothing to do with the deck. Really it's up to your preference, and while I hate to recommend china, it might be worth it to try some different widths to see what's your liking. And wilco let's see some pics! |

| It will defiantly make a difference on your kickflips, tres, etc. But it wont make a huge difference, just some getting used too |

| Like everyone said here, it's all about preference and a lot of people are able to easily adapt to a new size.
If you know some fingerboarders or are going to some fingerboard events, try out people's boards and see how you feel. |
