Any size you want and any brand you want. It doesn't make any difference when your first starting.
Everyone likes something different with brand, size, shape etc. The only way for you to know is to get a board and skate it, next board you get, get something different and see what bits you like more between the two and so on and so on until you have a personal preference of the set up you like.
doesnt matter what size cause u have to start somewhere... i will ride any size board as long as my trucks are the same size... u will have to get used to it anyway.. but ya deathwish decks are good.. im riding the lizard king edition right now
i recommend boards from either element or deathwish. and u should get a 7.75, which is what i think i used to have. when i used to skate i used those boards and it felt pretty awesome so this is just my opinion.
Hey guys im not sure what skateboard I should get. I am mostly looking to do flip tricks. I am about 5''2 and a size 7 shoe. Should I get a 7.75 or 7.5 and how long should the deck be. Should the board be about 29in for me cause that might be good or is that too short. Please Help. Thank you. Btw what skateboard brand has kinda short boards like in length. about 28 to 29 in. Thank you.
