Collection: 8.38" Skateboard Decks

8.3 Inch Skateboard Decks

When approach speeds matter more than flip trick precision and you're hitting spots that require confidence over board control, 8.3" decks provide the platform stability that separates committed skating from tentative attempts. Andrew Reynolds, Jamie Thomas, and Erik Ellington built reputations on slightly wider boards that enable confident gap skating and powerful impact absorption without completely abandoning flip trick capability. Real and Baker understand that some skaters prioritize platform confidence over maximum board sensitivity, developing 8.3" models that provide stability for powerful skating while maintaining enough responsiveness for technical applications when situations demand precision over power. Modern power skaters appreciate 8.3" decks for their ability to handle larger obstacles and rougher terrain without sacrificing the board control necessary for contemporary street skating that combines impact confidence with technical versatility.
