How to Choose a Blank Skateboard Deck

Choosing a blank deck is simple when you focus on the fundamentals: width, concave, shape, and construction quality.

Step-by-step deck selection

1. Pick a width that feels stable (most skaters land between 8.0–8.5).
2. Choose concave (medium is the safe all-around option).
3. Decide shape: popsicle for street/park, old school for cruising/transition.
4. Buy from a consistent source that stands behind construction and shape repeatability.
