Top 15 Skateboard Decks

Have you ever wondered which skateboard deck brand is the best? If so, you are certainly not alone. Of course, we don't have a definite answer for that either. However, based on 2023 data, we can tell you which skateboard decks or brands are the most popular.

To do this, we checked sold decks, brand shop visits, search queries and other factors and created a list of the most popular deck brands. Check out the top 15 skateboard deck brands and find out if the small, independent or even long-established brands are among the best according to our ranking.

Our own brand, skatedeluxe, was not considered for the ranking. Still, we say thank you and appreciate the trust you put in our skatedeluxe decks!

By the way, below you can find out which deck brands were the most popular in previous years.
