The Krooked Skateboards Arketype Mid Complete 7.5" is a compact, ready-to-ride setup designed for skaters who want a responsive board with quality components and classic Krooked style.
Built with a 7.5" wide x 29" long, 7-ply North American maple deck and a 14" wheelbase, this complete offers a quick, maneuverable feel that works especially well for street skating, skateparks, and developing technical skills. The narrower deck makes it easier to control and move underfoot while still providing a stable platform for learning ollies, kickflips, manuals, and grinds.
WHO DOES THIS BOARD FIT?
Using skateboard manufacturer and Create-A-Skate founder Paul “Professor” Schmitt’s wheelbase sizing approach, a 14" wheelbase is a good starting point for riders approximately 5'3" or taller.
That is important because deck width alone does not determine whether a skateboard fits a rider. Wheelbase is the distance between the front and rear truck mounting points, and it helps determine how naturally the board matches a skater’s stance.
The 14" wheelbase gives this Krooked complete a compact, responsive feel while still offering enough room for balance and control.
Height is a helpful starting point rather than a strict rule. Leg length, shoe size, experience, skating style, and personal preference can all affect what board feels best.
COMPLETE & READY TO SKATE
One of the standout features of this complete is its component package. The Arketype comes fully assembled with Venture trucks and Spitfire wheels, giving skaters quality components from two well-established skateboard brands straight out of the box.

BEST FOR
A great choice for skaters who prefer a narrower, responsive setup for street and skatepark skating. The 7.5" deck makes the board easy to maneuver, while the 14" wheelbase provides a stance that can work especially well for riders around 5'3" to 5'8".
The Arketype is also a strong option for progressing skaters because it comes equipped with recognizable skateboard components rather than a basic generic complete setup.
With Krooked design, Venture trucks, Spitfire wheels, and North American maple construction, this complete delivers a quality setup that is ready to skate from day one.
