Collection: Street/Park Decks

The size of your skateboard deck is primarily determined by your foot size and personal preference for the type of skating you do.


For Street Skating: A deck width between 7.5" and 8.25" is typically ideal for most skaters.


For Transition or Ramp Skating: A wider deck, ranging from 8.25" to 8.75", provides more stability when skating on ramps or in bowls.


Foot Size Considerations:


Smaller feet (below size 8 US): Go for a deck size between 7.5" and 8".


Larger feet (size 8 US and above): A deck width of 8.25" to 8.5" provides more room for comfort and control.


Tip: If you're unsure, it's best to start with a deck width around 8.0" for a balance of street and ramp skating.

The main differences between regular and cruiser decks are their shapes and intended uses.


Regular Decks (Standard Skateboards): Typically have a symmetrical shape and are used for street, park, and technical tricks. They are ideal for doing flip tricks, ollies, and grinding.


Cruiser Decks: Cruiser decks have a more skateboard-like shape with a wider, often longer design, providing better comfort for downhill, commuting, and carving. They are perfect for smooth cruising over long distances and navigating through streets.


Tip: If you're looking to cruise around town or use your skateboard for commuting, a cruiser deck is ideal. For technical street skating, stick to a regular deck.

Skateboard decks are typically made from maple wood, but there are some other options, too.


Maple Wood: The most common material for skateboard decks because of its durability, strength, and flexibility. Most skateboards are made from 7-ply (layers) or 8-ply maple wood to provide the right balance of pop and durability.


Other Materials: Some decks are made with bamboo, plastic, or fiberglass, offering different flex and weight characteristics. Bamboo decks are eco-friendly and lightweight, while plastic decks are used primarily for cruisers.


Tip: Maple wood decks are the standard for most skaters because they offer durability and solid pop for tricks. Bamboo is a good option for those looking for a lighter, more flexible board.

Taking care of your skateboard deck will prolong its lifespan and ensure better performance.


Protect from Water: Avoid riding through puddles or wet conditions. Water can weaken the wood and cause delamination. If your board gets wet, dry it thoroughly.


Store Properly: Store your skateboard in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or moisture. Extreme conditions can affect the wood and cause it to warp.


Regular Maintenance: Clean your deck regularly to remove dirt and debris that can affect your grip tape. Check for cracks or damage to the deck, as well as loose bolts on your trucks.


Tip: If your deck starts to lose pop or feel "soft," it might be time to replace it. Regularly inspect the board for wear and tear, especially if you're skating on rough terrain.
