Deck Wheelbase Calculator

Like other board sports, "what size should I use" is a common question. Compared to the deck's overall length, the inner truck holes wheelbase is a more crucial measurement as it closely relates to your stance.

We offer a calculator to help you choose a deck for Synergy Surfskate Trucks. It uses three data points: Synergy Surfskate Trucks' wheel axle offset (pre-set in the calculator), and your shoulder width and knee height (standing) which you need to measure and input.

Shoulder width is the distance between the outermost points of your acromions. When arms are raised, the depression between the humerus and shoulder joint marks the outermost point. Measure from the back to avoid confusing it with the clavicle's end.

Knee height (standing) is the vertical distance from the ground to the kneecap's midpoint when barefoot.

There's no absolute right or wrong in deck wheelbase choice. Your riding style and preferences matter, and anyone can ride any deck. User feedback indicates Synergy Surfskate Trucks adapt easily to various deck lengths. If you have a Carver CX complete which you like, its deck usually offers a good start for the Synergy Surfskate Trucks.
