Blank skateboard decks are the foundation of modern skateboarding. From street skaters and park riders to artists, skate shops, and private labels, blank decks are used worldwide for their simplicity, performance, and versatility.
This site exists to document everything that goes into blank skateboard decks — how they are made, how they differ from branded decks, how to choose the right size and concave, and what actually matters when it comes to quality.
Whether you skate, sell, print, or build decks, this guide is designed to help you understand blank skateboard decks without marketing noise or brand bias.
What Is a Blank Skateboard Deck?
A blank skateboard deck is a skateboard deck without graphics or branding applied to the top or bottom. Structurally, blank decks are built the same way as most branded decks — using layered wood veneers, pressed into shape, cut to size, and drilled for trucks.
The term “blank” refers only to the absence of graphics, not a lack of quality. Many blank decks are produced in the same factories, using the same materials and molds, as well-known branded decks.
Why Skaters Choose Blank Decks
- Focus purely on performance
- Cost less than graphic decks
- Ideal for custom artwork or printing
- Allow skaters to judge boards by feel, not branding
