Old school shaped skateboard decks are a nostalgic throwback to the early days of skateboarding in the 1970s and 1980s. These decks feature a distinctive shape that sets them apart from the modern popsicle-shaped boards commonly seen today. The old school shape is characterized by a wider nose and tail, with a more pronounced kicktail and a less symmetrical design.

The width of old school decks typically ranges from 8.5 inches to 10 inches or more, offering a more stable and comfortable ride, particularly for cruising and carving. The wider surface area also provides ample space for a skater's feet, making it easier to land tricks and maintain control during high-speed manoeuvres.
