Old school shape vs popsicle shape skateboard.

In this video, Aaron Kyro talks about 2 common deck shapes, the old-school fish deck, and the popular modern popsicle deck.

More info: Old-school fish decks were popular in the 1970s and 1980s. They have a distinct shape with a wider nose and a narrower tail, giving the deck a fish-like appearance. The shape of the deck allows for more stability and control when riding, making it easier to perform tricks. They have been making a major comeback in recent times.

Popsicle shape decks, on the other hand, are the standard shape of modern skateboards. They have a more symmetrical shape, with a similar width at both the nose and the tail. This shape provides a more versatile riding experience and allows for more variety in tricks.

Both shapes of decks have their advantages and disadvantages and it ultimately comes down to personal preference. Old-school fish decks are great for cruising and performing classic tricks, while popsicle shape decks offer more versatility for modern skateboarding.

Would love an explanation between the Maple and Bamboo options on the Braille website.What makes them different? Seem to both be 7-ply. So, different concave? Different weight? Different feel? Different durability?

For years I used my dad’s old board he used in the 80s. I’ve had to retire that board as it’s wayyyy to old for ramps and might snap

Shaped boards are more fun for the average skater. The popsicle board has lead so many kids to quit, that I believe it’s a dark force in skating! They’re ugly and unimaginative! I get for some types of skating the popsicle is better, but anything with a ramp I have to believe that the old school board is preferable for the average guy.
