sup guys. I have an aluminum mold from a while ago with a fantastic shape but the only downside is that it's 31mm wide. I'm wondering if anyone would buy a 31mm wide board if they really liked it or is 31mm too narrow?

thank you

I'm sure people would, you can clamp the outer edges of the veneer as well with those small clips to try and make wider boards. Might work.

thanks. I just realized that 32mm and 31mm are not that big of a difference so there wouldn't be much of an overflow of wood in the mold when cutting. I did a quick test and the 32mm deck is not going to be much of a problem:

I've made a few different stencils with varying widths and found that the deck & truck width combination plays a big role in how it feels to ride. I prefer a 29-31mm deck on standard TD wides or China wides and a 32-33mm deck on the TD longboard trucks. My favorite width is 31/31.5mm because you have the most amount of different trucks available out there that fit comfortably.

A lot of people go for wide decks, but a ton still ride 29's.

I think a lot of people would buy a 31mm wide deck... My friend is riding a 31mm wide flaked board and it doesn´t feel much slimmer than a 32mm deck

i personally still prefer 29s and 30s...   

some days I ride my 32mm and others I ride my 30mm also depends on terrain type for me anyways. If I am on one of my parks I like the 32mm. If I am in the hotel during work week I ride 30mm on desk a lot.
