Literally speaking. In the stance you’re most comfortable or most effective in, what’s the ratio between your height vs. how far apart your feet are when riding? Measured as (your height)/(standing platform or actual distance between outsides of feet).

I’ve never stood on a board that was the correct size, and I’m trying to figure out how long a raceboard for my abnormally tall self should be. But I’m sure others might find this data useful for deciding on decks in other areas too, so here’s a bunch of polls:

Advance thank yous to anyone who takes the time to answer, and double thanks to any Imperial units users who figure out how to do math with fractions. Good luck.

This has a lot of variables. How tall are you? If you’re pretty tall and want a longer deck that has a wide stance, RedEmber Jotnar or Northcamp should be a good start, they have a 40in standing platform. Use a measuring tape to measure 40in, lay it on the ground and stand on it. Should give you a rough idea how long you like your deck.
