Why do I need an 8.5-inch skateboard?
If you prioritise stability, control and a solid base, a complete 8.5” skateboard is the one for you. They generally measure up to 33” long – but this can differ by an inch or so, depending on the brand. They’re great for skaters who love transition skating (from ground to vert) and carving bowls and ramps at skateparks. With the additional width, you get more control to help you land those awesome tricks.
Plus, if you’ve got larger feet, you’ll have lots of room to ride – without hanging over the edge. The wider surface area can make a complete 8.5” skateboard more durable too – allowing it to absorb the impact from heavy impact tricks. Looking to do tricks? You can certainly land them on an 8.5” skateboard, but beginners may find it easier on a board with a smaller width – like an 8” model.
