A deck in skateboarding is the wooden part of the skate board which you ride upon. Now that this bit information is out of the way, which deck should you buy? Skateboard decks range in price, size, concavity, and type. The attributes most important to picking out a skate board deck is the size and the concavity. The size of the deck is normally based upon personal preference and the size of the skater. Most individuals with a shoe size of a 10 to 12 ride a deck which is an 8 (width of the deck). Individuals with shoe sizes smaller than this range often get decks in the 7 to 7&1/2 range. After realizing which size deck best suites you the next step is finding one with the right amount of concavity. The more concavity the easier it will be to perform flip tricks. Deciding how much concavity best supplements your skate boarding really depends on the individual, this can be achieved through a trial and error process. A deck that I would highly recommend based on quality and price would be a mini logo blank deck. This deck has a decent amount of concavity, sells for around thirty dollars, and is seven ply making it a very solid deck. The main difference in my opinion between a mini logo and a pro deck is the artwork on the bottom. Pro models will often have designs on the bottom while mini logos on the other hand will consist of a solid color.
