Decks Most decks are constructed from 7 layers of hard rock maple wood. The layers are laminated together under hydraulic presses, cut to shape, sanded and then finished. So, what’s the difference and how do you pick the right board? The differences range in overall length, width and the concaveness of the board. What’s right for you? That really depends on your personal preference and style of skating. Some skaters prefer a certain size and others just like the brand or look of the board. |

As a general rule, wider boards like 8"-8.5" may appeal more to Vert (ramp) skaters. Narrow boards like 7.5"-7.75" typically appeal to street or trick skaters. If you want a board for transportation or for cruising, you’ll want to go with long board. Click on Decks and then Sector 9 for the best Longboards on the planet.
