Skateboard Deck Concave Types

Concave is the curve across the width of the deck. It changes how your feet lock in, how the board responds, and how comfortable it feels.

Low, medium, high concave

• Low: smoother feel, comfortable cruising, less “locked in”
• Medium: balanced control and comfort (most popular)
• High: maximum control for aggressive skating, can feel steep

How to choose

If you skate street and park, medium is usually the safest choice. For bowls and transition, slightly more concave can boost control.
