What's a good skateboard deck size for me?
I ride 8,5 shoes and I wonder what a good deck size is.
Post below if you have any recommendations

i was size 8.5-9 when i used to skate and i rode 7.75 and size 8 so i suggest trying that. If you have an chance to go to stockholm buy an coyote skateboard, they are really sweet!

Skateboarding is all about experimentation. Try out a few different brands/sizes over the next few months. See what you like best. If I were to give you a suggestion, however, I would say try something a little smaller. Maybe try an 8.

Or I could order one but I have been to Coyote gotta love that store :3

77.5

i ride a 8.0, has the perfect wideness

8.125

7.5 - 8. I dont really care i just get a deck that looks nice

I ride 7.8 - 8 .

Start with a 8', then decide if it's too large or not

I use to ride 7'75, then try a 8'. I found 7'75 easier to flip tricks and all, but 8' are better for grind and general feelings.
I also tryed larger deck, don't like them cause I found them to heavy (cause of larger trucks, so more metal). But they're more suitable for bowl and ramps (I'm a street skater, don't like ramp and bowl too )

There also the trucks high that can come into play. I love tensor low slider, with 52-53 wheels, but you need to have strong ankle or you'll get a lot of wheel bits (happen to me yesterday when I want to skate for 15 minutes).

So my recommandation : Deck 8', Independent truck 129 (high) and and set of powell wheels in 53 or 54 : you'll get a good overall skateboarding

I already have a full setup and I have an Almost deck but I don't know what size it is.So for my next deck I wanted to know

Which almost model ? you can find it's size on there site.
Almost are dope (except for the dual core wheels, like all dual core wheels )

9.5
