Which Fingerboard Deck Width & Shape Should I Ride?
If you’re wondering which fingerboard deck width you should ride, here’s everything you need to know about the width options that Teak Tuning offers:
29mm Wide Decks
Background: Fingerboards started at 26mm wide back in the early 2000s and have gradually increased in width over the years. Even though 29mm is no longer the most popular option, some fingerboarders still love to use narrow width 29mm decks.
Shapes Available: Standard popsicle shape
Teak Tuning Decks: 29mm Polymer Composite Deck
Best Trucks to Use: Teak Tuning Allen Key Trucks
Helpful Tip: The width of your deck and trucks should be the same (or close to them same width).

Shapes Available: Standard popsicle shape, Boxy shape, Pixelated shape
Teak Tuning Decks: Teak 32mm deck collection includes blank and exotic decks, heat transfer graphic decks, Boxy shaped decks, and pixelated shaped decks.
Best Trucks to Use: 32mm Prodigy Trucks, Prodigy Pro Plus Trucks, and Prodigy Swerve Trucks, are the best options, but 32mm Spacer Trucks will also work for riders on a budget.

I got a upgraded 32mm prolific board and it is a awesome board and I would recommend it to beginners.
I am very experienced thinking abt starting to enter competitions which one should i use
I’m 12, what should I ride?
I think bigger boards are better for beginners
I personally like the 34-35 I think it looks better and feels a lot better
