Why buy Skateboard Decks?
What is concave?
Concave refers to the curvature of the deck across its width. Medium concave provides a versatile feel, deep concave locks feet in for technical tricks and mellow concave offers more freedom for cruising and slides.
Do nose and tail shapes matter?
Yes. Steeper noses and tails provide better leverage for ollies and flip tricks. Shorter kicks flip faster, while longer kicks offer more room for foot placement. Symmetrical decks have identical nose and tail shapes, while directional decks differ.
What materials are used?
Most decks use 7–9 plies of maple wood for strength and pop. Some incorporate bamboo, carbon fibre or fibreglass layers to reduce weight and increase durability.
How long does a deck last?
It depends on usage. Frequent trick skating can break or chip decks within months, while casual cruising can keep a deck intact for years. If the deck feels “dead” (no pop) or develops cracks, replace it.
Can I mount any trucks on any deck?
Most decks use a standard bolt pattern (7/8‑inch spacing between holes). As long as your trucks match that pattern and the deck width suits your truck width (axle ends should align with deck edges), they’ll fit.
Do graphics affect performance?
No. Graphics are purely aesthetic. Choose a design that inspires you, but focus on size, concave and shape for performance.
How do I care for my deck?
Keep it dry, avoid storing it in extreme heat or cold, and don’t leave it in a car trunk or damp garage. Rotate your board (skate nose and tail evenly) to prolong life.
