Opting for a custom complete over a pre-assembled complete can make sure you get exactly what you’re after. With a large selection of product available this helpful guide will break it down so you can make your dream board a reality.

If starting from scratch doesn’t appeal to you head over to to the completes page on our website – but keep in mind the advice and tips this guide gives you can be very helpful.

Having some eye candy to look at is important, so hopefully out of our huge range of skateboard decks and skateboard completes, we have something that takes your fancy. The shape and size of your board is the probably the most important factor, it affects every element of your riding (you’ll also spend a lot of time starting at it). If you look through our selection of boards amongst the majority you will notice that the width of them varies from about 7.5″ all the way through to some which are 10″ wide. We tend to recommend that a small person selects a board on the narrower end of the spectrum so between 7.5″ wide and 8.5″ wide. Our thinking behind this is that the less board there is, the easier it is to flip around and work with when it comes to that. We can advise when it comes to shapes and sizes but finding a board you are happy with generally comes first.

When it comes to trucks – you’ll probably try a few different brands over the years so it’s less important on your first board (Ace Trucks being a shop favourite). What is most important is that you have the right sized truck for your board, a mismatch either too short or too wide is never practical and can often lead to disastrous results. We’ve attached a guide to different brands and sizes
