Children's Skateboards Are Smaller Skateboards

Our kids’ skateboards section features complete boards tailored to smaller skaters. These mini skateboards boast sizes perfect for kids, offering varied deck widths and lengths to suit their needs. From beginner-friendly setups to more advanced boards, finding the ideal match for your child’s skill level is easy.

There’s no strict age for starting skateboarding, but it’s recommended that kids have good motor skills and balance before hopping on a board. Typically, children aged 5 to 6 are ready to begin their skateboarding journey.

Comparing Kids’ Skateboards to Adult Ones

Kids’ skateboards share similarities in construction and functionality with adult boards. However, some beginner models for kids might have softer bushings and wheels for a smoother ride, especially geared towards beginners.

One noticeable distinction lies in the deck graphics. Our kids’ skateboards showcase vibrant, colourful, and playful designs, setting them apart from adult boards and appealing to the youngest skaters.

Picking the Right Skateboard for Your Child

Choosing the right skateboard for a boy or a girl hinges on the board's size, especially for beginners. Opt for a deck width appropriate to your child’s shoe size to ensure better balance and an enjoyable experience. Too narrow a board can make balance challenging.

The right skateboard deck size allows kids to maneuver and control the board effortlessly, making their initial skateboarding experiences more enjoyable. Check our Skateboard Size chart for guidance in selecting the perfect-sized board. Beyond size, consider your child’s preferences for brand and graphics.

Once you’ve found the right board, ensure your child’s safety by outfitting them with proper Kids Skate Protection, such as skate helmets and skate pads for children.
