I feel retarded for asking this but what deck size does eric koston ride

i believe 7.5 seeing as almost all of his decks are that size. then every once and a while his deck will come out with a 7.75

most pros ride wide boards which i noticed lately, like somethign close to a 7.8 or something. but koston rides more slimmer boards.

7.8 isn't really considered wide

Yeah pros really usually ride like 8 boards, no matter how thin their pro model decks are. You'd have to read an interview where he described his setup.

Just because their pro model is ____ (size), doesn't mean that they ride that size. Erik E. rides 8.(something) boards but you see a whole lot of his pro decks being 7.75.

I'm not saying Edward is wrong, but who knows.

Yeah take Brian Sumner for instance, he rides a 8.19 but his pro models are 7.75 or 7.8...

Jay.....why are you trying to ride exactly like koston anyways? Find what you like. Not what he does.

Cole rides 8.25. Spanky and Herman who are both midgets ride 8 inch.

The bigger the board the more consistent, thats a fact. Much less room for error. I tested that out my self. I usually ride 7.75 but I tested an 8 inch out and loved it. It's pretty hard to get used to it because you need to put more strength into your tricks but it's much more accurate.

Thats why about 95% of my decks are 8'' or +. The rare 5% is from what I get from other people who all ride shitty little boards.

Corey Duffel rides a 8.25, I believe.

7.8 isn't really considered wide
