How long should my first skateboard be in length?

Question

i can do some kicker tricks but cant ollie yet. how long shud the board be for a real beginner? what is the exact measurement.

Answer 1

What's your shoe size? If it's 5 or under it should be around 29 inches in length. If it's 6 or higher should be 31 or 32 inches. Personally I like small skateboards better because they are easier to control and lighter to do higher ollies.

Answer 2

There is no correct length.  Get a board that you like.

Answer 3

It depends how big/tall you are and what your shoe size is. Ask the guy at the skateshop. He'll help you.
