Ok i have had so much trouble landing tricks and i think it is because my board is too small for my feet. If I am a size 12 will a 7.75 size board do the trick? Right now i m riding a 7.5

dude yeah go for the 7.75. I wear size 10 and i ride a 7.75 board.
You just gotta find the board that feels the best to you.

Well it depends what kind of tricks you do.

If you're doing a lot of stair sets and flip tricks down stair sets, I'd suggest an 8, I wear 12s and I won't skate anything less than a 7.75, and that's only if I can't get my hands on an 8.

Wider boards generally make your tricks bigger and slower flipping, but it's up to you.

i like them smaller and thiner

I prefer the 7.5

haha i have a size 8 1/2 and i skate an 8.

im size 8 i skate 7.62 currently used to skate 7.5

Skate an 8 son. Better feel and more control.

I skate 7.5, but i skate .75 atm..
Think weight too.. and prefences

I'm size 14 feet (49 european), and I ride a flip 7.75 inch deck. It feels a little small, but it does the trick and is super stable if you keep your feet centered over the board...feels like its 10 inches wide. But the only thing that bothers me are practising kickflips. My ankles get tired just trying to stay in a stance.

Your two sizes smaller though, same like me when I got the deck (I was 11), and it was perfect.

go ahead and get it. If your not sure, get an 8.25.

Im size 9 and I skate 7.5 and 7.75!

Skate an 8 son. Better feel and more control.


I agree.

7.5 for me

I skate an 8" and I'm size 9-9.5 .
Feels great.

You were skating a 7.5 with a 12 shoe? Nuts man...

I have a size 11 shoe. I tried 7.5...meh. 7.75 is good, but I am absolutely LOVING 8.0", of course I'm not a tech skater.

7.5 its much easier to do flip tricks

I recommend an 8.0.
I'm a size 8.5 shoe and it feels very nice.

i wear a size 7.5 and use a 7.5 board perfecct

I wear 8 - 8.5 and ride a 7.5 and it feels great. Thinking about moving to a 7.63 though for my next board to try it out.

just try diff kinds. im size 10 and i like size 7.6.

im size 10 and anything between 7.5-7.75 is fine for me

Wow, my deck is 7.8 and I have small feet :0P I'm like a size 5.5 in shoes maybe I should have bought a deck that was 7.5...I hope it doesn't matter that much.

^^^ it doesnt wider means easier to land on

thin boards for the win!!! 7.5 here

7.5 is small indeed, but i ride it too it works for me =) but buying someting else might solve your problem

7.7 is perfect

Skate an 8 son. Better feel and more control.

WORD!!!

I skated 7.75 for 3 board straight when I recently got back into it, I also wear size 12 shoes, and its was impossible to land on the board cleanly. So I upgraded, and its been the best thing for me yet.

I wear a size 13 shoe a rock a 7.5....I did try a couple 8's and I simply did not like the feel. It really is preference, I am just really used to little boards.

i have size 11 shoes and i ride a shop blank that is 7.83 its perefect

i wear a size 11 shoe and im stickin with a 7.75 for now.
but i agree its all about preference because my best friend is probably 3 inches shorter than me and probably weighs 40 pounds less and he skates an 8

i had a 7.5 for a while before switching to a 7.75..its perfect for me my shoe is only a 9.5-10

Eights!

7.625: not to big, not too small.just perfect

7.75 are good boards

I have size 12 feet to. I have a size 8 board.

i like them smaller and thiner

thats what she said {rf) but, i skate a .75, i always skated a 7.5 though. once i got it, i hated it because it was too big..but now its perfect for me and i wear a size 10

Heavyweight like me needs size 8 board.

I think the smaller, the better. I think it gives more control

7.75 the best size for flips

I ride a 7.5, but i also have a 8.0 .. I think the 7.5 is good overall...

I have size 12 (uk) and i had trouble too on smaller boards so i ride 8.0's all the time now

Bigger board = more room to land
Bigger board = spin or flip slower
Small board = spin faster
Small board = less room to land

I'm size 9.5 and i skate 8 :)

i wear a 11 1/2 (US) and i skate on either a 7.75 or 8.0

my current deck is a 7.75

i skate 7.25-7.75 and i really like em

I wear size 8 shoes and i ride 7.75s. I could switch to a 7.63 but it would take a few days to get used to.

I roll with anything from a 7.5 through a 7.75 so I usually ride a 7.625, but now I'm riding a 7.5 (lots of numbers.)

I wear size 12 and use a 7.6

I wear size 11 with a 7.5 board, but it's too small for me. I want a 7.75

7.2-7.5
smaller deck makes mah flips look classier. Hhaah and I don't like wide decks, they feel weird for me to ride on.

i am a size 10.5 and i am luving the 7.9 and 8.0s

I'm size 9 and i use 7.75-7.8

well, it just depends on preference. size 11-12 here, 7.8 almost impact chris haslam does the trick for me. :) yeah...i HATE 7.5...anything below 7.75 is uber annoying..

i like them smaller and thiner
