Nowadays, it is absolutely normal to see a five-year-old kid skating fluently with any support from his or her parents. The age of skaters has widened more and more. For each age, the size of skateboard will be different. The post will help you make it easy to choose a complete skateboard for different age groups. The post is in reference to SkateAdvisors.
If you are new to the sport, what is the board that suits you the most? My answer for this question is based on your body size. As long as you feel totally comfortable with the sport, this is the right one for you.
Besides, you need to buy the board with soft wheels and other durable parts in order to avoid being fallen from the board when unintentionally skating through cracks or rocks.
Now, what should we care about when buying a complete skateboard for kids? First, it is the size. The most suitable size of the complete skateboard is from 6.5 inches to 6.57 inches in width. And soft grip tape is the next thing that needs to be considered well.
Next, we will choose complete skateboards for 6-to-8-year-old kids. The best width size for them is 7.0 inches.
From 9 years old to 12 years old, the appropriate deck size is from 7.25 inches to 7.5 inches.
For the adults who have just played skateboarding, the most common width is from 8 inches to 8.25 inches. This is the standard size but you should mostly determine the size based on your height, your weight and your shoe size. If your shoe size is from 6.5 to 9, I suggest you try the 7.5- to-8.5-inche skateboard width. If your shoe size is above 9, the best size is from 8.0 inches to 8.5 inches.
