im 20 and really small (5'2 and 5/2 shoe size) i just got a board size 8, its kinda long for me length wise but i really like the board idk what to do

[@SKATEYOGI]

Maybe for your next board you can look for the same width but go for a slightly shorter length. You wouldn't have to change your trucks since it's the same width. Sometimes you can find them a little shorter. I'm 5'6" so I've even looked for shorter boards within the same width and have found it helps. Good luck! -Kevin

I'm 5'5", 120 lbs, shoe size 6.5. I prefer smaller width boards because the length is shorter. It's harder to do tricks with longer boards. I'm a bit disappointed that skateboard manufacturers don't offer 7.75 in shorter lengths. Some do but I don't like the designs very much.

Mini ramp, grinds, slides, basic flip trucks. Are Elements still good? Loved the Fiberlites. Element always had great pop & strength.

[@SKATEYOGI]

Check out the Powell Flight deck. It’s carbon fiber reinforced so it’s super strong. For size I would say 8.25 would be good for extra stability maybe even 8.5 but that’s a lot wider than a 7.75 that you were used to. 8.25 is right in the middle so you can size up or down without changing trucks

ii_Wxlter decks 7.5” and up are all about the same from 30-32” long, usually wider ones are on the longer side. But the length isn’t as important as the width which is the primary dimension. Boards under 7.5” are usually a bit shorter, around 26” long, good for a much shorter skater. Hope that helps!

[@Rikachan92]

What shoe size do you have?

[@insanogeddon]

The smaller the board you learn things on the more precise and better technique you will have. So if you want a trick on lock long term go small enough it challenges you. Bonus is better turning which is vital on the street unless you're a juvenile ass-egoist. While learning less likely to do the splits or body by getting planted on board while balance off. More likely to stress ankles as foot half off or so far to one side the board angles and stalls. I prefer an ankle sprain to a hammy or body and if you ride enough your ankles will be strong enough to bounce back. 6+ cruising 7.5+ tricks 8.375+ stairs 8.5+ bowls 9+ ramps and now surf skates
