How to Replace a Skateboard Deck

Introduzione

If your deck is warped, broken, or just need style change, then use this guide to replace your deck.

The deck is the part of the board that you stand on, and with time it is subject to wear and tear. Sometimes, it just snaps in half on you after very heavy and intense use.

Be sure to first obtain the new deck, and purchase grip to go with it. Decks do not come with grip pre-applied, which we will cover how to apply it in this guide.
