    What is the best brand for skateboard decks?
    Generally it doesn’t really matter bc most of them will feel the same anyway. There is only slight differences between brands and you’ll only feel it if you’ve been skating for years. Even then it’s all about personal preference.
    So what’s your favorite skate deck brand? My is probably GIRL

    It doesn’t matter what board you choose when you start, but there are so many variables and differences. Shape, wheelbase, concave, what wood shop that brand uses. Some brands use more than one wood shop. A Ps stix made skateboard vs a bbs made, they feel like 2 completely different skateboards

    if you’re just starting out, any deck will work fine as long as it ain’t too wide. length and wheels base doesn’t matter much when you’re starting out too because you don’t have a personal preference. if you already know how to skate and are looking for a new deck, do a bit of research on what woodshop the deck you want to buy is coming from. some brands use higher quality woodshops like bbs, ps stix, or general. some use not great shops like crailtap. thank you, and have a good day

    The best deck brand for a beginner would be capsule. They do not break literally you cannot break them. For a beginner this is great because they do not have to worry about the chips it or snapping it when trying to learn. Kids usually leave their Boards out in the rain and that does not affect the capsule board.

    If it’s true that the deck doesn’t really matter when you’re a beginner (although I am not convinced it is), then surely the best advice is to get a small deck (7.75”) because they are significantly cheaper.

    Rather than saying all the decks are the same size and shape (which I understand you’re generalizing for beginners) You might say “most boards have the same general shape with the main variable being the width. So go to you local shop and stand on boards until you find a width that you can comfortably stand on and a graphic that you like” That lets them know that as they advance they can find alternative shapes, wheelbases, nose/tail kicks etc without making it seem too complicated.
