    I’m 26 and I have been skating on and off since I was 6 years old, I will tell you guys that if your shoe size is around 11 and your 5-11 6 feet like me. I would recommend going with a 7.75 to 8inch width of board if you are going to do trick skating. If your a little smaller and your shoe size is about 7-10 then a 7.5 or 7.6 is a good way to go.

    they come in different sizes because people come in different sizes.
    A little kid would feel good on a 7.5 but try putting a guy with a 12 size shoe on one and they will feel unconfortable.
    That guy will feel alot better on a 8.0 or bigger board but the kid will feel unconfortable.
