Size chart (inches)

Picking a width: 7.75"–8.0" for technical street skating and smaller feet; 8.25"–8.38" is the all-round sweet spot most people ride; 8.5" and up for transition, bigger feet or a more stable feel. Match your trucks to the width – see our skateboard trucks.

FAQ

What does “assorted stain” mean?
Blanks ship with whatever veneer colors come off the press. The photos show the shape and quality, not the exact colors you'll get.

Does it come with grip tape?
No – blanks are deck only. Pick up a sheet from our grip tape collection.

Which blank brand should I get?
BBS is the benchmark many brands use for their pro decks. Control MFG is made in Canada on an automated line, so every deck comes out identical. HLC MFG offers shapes the others don't, like square and twin hybrid. Compare them all in blank skateboard decks.
