people say 7.5s are easier to flip, but harder to land on, 8s are hrder to flip but easier to land. I can flip an 8 better than a 7.75 which is wierd but its like running with shoes that are too big

it depends on 3 things
1)the concave on the board as well as the width
2) the size of you foot
3) how comfortable you feel
some cunt over the internet can't tell you what board is best for you, go out and try it and if its not so good you can go back down a size for your next board.

I agree with the person who said thinner decks are easier to flip and wider ones are easier to land on.
I normally ride a 7.5, but then I went to 7.625 and now I'm on a 7.75 with a spare 7.5 when that breaks. If you also have a range of widths you can ride then it doesn't really matter too much.
