Sizing is mostly based on feet. If it's comfortable under your feet when riding, it's a good size for you.

When choosing a deck size, don't just think about the rider's size, but also the type of riding. 

As a general rule, wider decks are good for vert riding (ramps, pools) and cruising because they're more stable. They're also good for bigger riders. 

Narrower decks are good for street tricks like kickflips because they're more responsive. They're also best for smaller riders.
