Skateboard deck width?

Question

I am thinking of buying a new zero deck and dont know if I should get a 7.750 or a 7.625 for street skating.

Answer 1

i actually just got a new zero deck like a week ago and its the one with zero and a skull across the length of the deck and it looks like its written in blood and i wear a size 12 shoe and i got the 7.625 and i love it and my friend wears a size 8 and he tryed it and likes it alot to so the 7.625 should work for you(i said "and" like so many times lol)

Answer 2

To be perfectly honest, it doesn't matter. I've been skateing for 11 years and ive never really paid any attention to the width of my deck. And i don't think an inch of material is going to do much. But also keep into consideration, less wood makes it lighter for higher pop.

Answer 3

yeah this kids right. depending on your feet size is what matters. if you have BIG feet, go for an eight. about average feet, a 7.5, in between 7.75. thinner boards also make the board easier to flip.

Answer 4

Don't listen to them..

Get a 7.5 thats the standard size, and thats wrong of the first user that replyed, an inch will make a difference, especially if you're small. And a inch adds weight and weight is not good.

Get a 7.5

Answer 5

get wat is comfortable also keep in mind ur truck size

if ur truck size is 7.75 then a 7.625 will make rail stands difficult.

wider boards provide more balance but are harder to flip. so it depends on ur skateing, what tricks u do, and how good ur balance is.

a 7.75 is pretty easy to flip and still has good balance and is the perfect size for most trucks. but the 7.625 may be a better choice if ur balance is pretty good and do lots of flip tricks and use a 4.5 or 4.75 size truck
