Would A 21 icnch skateboard be good for my height?

Question

I wanna learn how to skate it seems really fun, but first i gotta now the right size. Ima about 60 something inches..so about 5 something feet.. so erm..wat size board to i need..or does it depend on weight?.. foot size maybe...im clueless in the subject...HELP!

Answer 1

i would get a 30 in. board is sort of small and 7.5 in. across would be a relatively small board but good for street

Answer 2

Where did you find a 21 inch long skateboard?!      :)

Usually board sizes are measured, Width by Length. For example I like skating 7.81x31.75 boards. It may sound stupid but in width, a half inch makes a BIG DIFFERENCE. 7.5's are pretty skinny, and 8's are pretty d**n wide. Im in the middle.

Width wise, it depends on who you are, shoe size doesnt really matter. My shoe size is 9.5, i CAN'T skate 7.5 boards to save my life. Paul Rodriguez wears size 9.5 shoes, he skates 7.5 boards and throws down switch front heels down an 11 stair. It depends. SKATE YOUR FRIENDS BOARDS. See which one feels more comfortable, remember the size of it.

Length wise. Usually is better to get one that reaches around your waist. Mine barely reaches "below my waist, if you catch my drift" but my legs are kinda long so..............

Just investigate. See what you feel comfortable with.

SUMMARY:

Width= depends, experiment.

Length= around your waist, experiment!

Weight? I know a kid weighs a ton. throws down some of the sexiest, most obese tre flips ive seen. hahahaha. dont matter.

Hope I helped!

send me a message let me know your shoe size and height. Ill try and help. But like I said. It depends. Let me know if you wanna know the right trucks and boards and wheels to buy too.

Krooked Skateboards for life though.

Answer 3

Most boards are around 31-32 inches in length and anywhere between 7.5 and 8.25 inches in width.

Height, weight and shoe size are irrelevant when choosing a deck - its a matter of personal preference.

A good way to choose is to research what deck, trucks and wheels one of your favorite skaters rides.

Answer 4

it doesnt really matter what weight  or height , foot size really but mainly personal preference,you dont need to worry about length,most boards are around the same length,but you do need to worry about width,i would suggest getting a 7.75 inch wide deck and please dont get one from walmart or somewhere like that because the board wont last and it wont ride right and you cant learn any tricks on it,go to a real skateshop and get one from there.

glad to see more girls skating!
