Shaped Decks

What is a shaped skateboard deck?

A deck that steps outside the standard popsicle mould, with wider noses, tapered tails and directional outlines built for cruising, bowls and transition. Compare with old school decks for more classic shapes.

Are shaped decks good for beginners?

Yes. Their wider platforms offer more stability, which can make them easier and more comfortable to ride.

What are shaped decks best for?

Cruising, bowls, transition and creative lines. They give a different feel to standard popsicle decks and suit riders after more surface underfoot.

How should I set up a shaped deck?

Pair it with softer wheels and looser trucks for a smooth sidewalk surf feel, or browse ready-made complete skateboards.
