Complete Skateboards

Defining Complete Skateboards

As the term suggests, a complete skateboard is one that arrives fully assembled. From wheels and trucks to bushings, each component is carefully integrated under a specific concept. Once the package is in your hands, you can immediately start practising tricks and enjoying yourself.

These skateboards are ideal for beginners as there's no need to be concerned about the assembly process or selecting the appropriate parts. Complete boards are designed with all components harmonised to complement the board's style. However, they’re not just for novices. Many brands also create complete adult and professional skateboards for those with more advanced skills.

Factors to Ponder When Selecting a Complete Skateboard

Beyond just the brand and cost, technical aspects also warrant consideration when selecting a complete skateboard. Two primary aspects are outlined below.

Skateboard Dimensions

The board’s size is arguably the most crucial aspect when selecting a complete skateboard. Generally, your shoe size should guide your choice of board width. Narrow boards are apt for younger enthusiasts with smaller shoe sizes, whereas wider boards better accommodate larger shoe sizes. Nonetheless, personal preference plays a significant role, and size guides merely offer guidance. Our Skateboard Size Chart suggests initial options for you to consider.

Wheel Durability

Consideration should also be given to the wheel’s durability. Usually, skateboards feature relatively hard wheels, although some beginner or smaller completes come with slightly softer ones. Softer wheels offer improved grip and enhance the initial skateboarding experience with additional comfort. Conversely, harder wheels facilitate greater speed, robust landings, and slides, and boast extended durability.

If your style and technique are already determined, constructing a customised skateboard might be the best option. With our Custom Skateboard Builder, you can combine various components to create a bespoke complete skateboard tailored to your specific requirements.
