If you’re flipping hand-painted skateboards, your biggest cost (besides your time) is the deck itself. The good news? You don’t have to buy name-brand blanks meant for skating. You can source plain maple decks at a discount — perfect for wall art, gifts, or resale on Etsy and local marketplaces.

🛒 Best Budget Option: Meooeck Blank Decks on Amazon

One of the best-value options right now is the Meooeck Blank Skateboard Deck. It’s 32 x 8 inches, 7-ply maple, and includes sandpaper if your buyer actually wants to skate it — though most use it as art.

• ✔️ Under $25
• ✔️ Solid surface for acrylic pens or spray paint
• ✔️ Double tail for traditional deck shape
• ✔️ Ships flat and paint-ready

Buying in singles is great for testing designs. If you scale up, look for 5–10 packs from direct suppliers or wholesalers via Faire, Alibaba, or even skate-specific forums.

📦 Where Else to Source Blank Decks

• Local Skate Shops: Ask about blemished or overstock decks
• Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace: Look for used boards you can sand and repaint
• Faire.com: If you’re running a real store or Etsy brand, this is a legit wholesale source
