Help to pick my skate deck

Question

i need help, i skate alot and am buying a brand new board off ebay for $30 and its 7.5" is this too big for my size, i am 178cm tall, please dont write any spam

Answer 1

How tall you are is not what effects your board. It's how big your feet are and what you like. Thats a skinny board. Some people like skinny boards ...others don't

Answer 2

i would get an darkstar armorlight in a 7.6/7.63 or an almost impact support

Answer 3

i've been skateboarding for about 8 years now trust me, your height dosen't matter im '6"2 and i have skated a 7.0 up to a 8.0 size. it matters if ur comfortable with it.

Answer 4

Thats around 5'10 so I'm guessing your shoe size is anywhere from 9-11?  Just a guess.  7.5 will be a bit bigger than half of an 11 shoe.  This is very thin, you may want to get a board around 7.75 or higher if your shoe is 10+.  Also, I don't recommend boards off of Ebay, you may want to get a Mini-Logo deck, they can be bought from any local skate shop for $35 immediately, they are pretty light, have good pop, and aren't a big trade off from a pro board.  Hope I helped.

Answer 5

no 7.5`s are skinny they flip faster ..i would try  7.75.. you should get a habitat they got lots of pop for high ollies  

Answer 6

I'm 160 cm tall and i use a 7.5" Darkstar that suits me fine for skating. I think a 7.5" is pretty good for your height. Remember, Thinner boards are better for tricks while thicker boards give better ramp control.
