How to choose your skateboard size?
Make sure to check the rider's shoe size VS skateboard width to get a better idea of what size skateboard will work best.
6.5" → 23 - 28
6.75" → 24 - 28
6.825" → 6 - 30
7.0" → 28 - 32
7.125" → 29 - 33
7.25" → 30 - 34
7.375" → 31 - 35
7.5" → 32 - 38
7.625" → 33 - 39
7.75" → 35 - 42
7.875" → 35 - 42
8" and wider → 42 and bigger
Does the length of the skateboard matter?
The length of the skateboard also plays an important role. The length of a skateboard is usually in balance with its width. The wider the skateboard, the longer it usually is. Shorter skateboards are easier to turn/steer (especially for children), while longer skateboards give more stability. However, the width of the skateboard is the most important factor to look out for, as in the skateboarding world it is the measure that best describes the final choice.
