Skateboards for Kids

Why skateboards for kids?

In principle, children can use the same skateboards as adults. However, the size of the board may not necessarily be suitable for them. Therefore, there are special skateboards for kids that are slimmer, smaller and more lightweight than standard skateboards. Additionally, the colours and graphics are a bit more kid-friendly as well.

With the right skateboard under his or her feet, your child will have more fun, learn faster and hopefully won’t be so quick to lose their passion for skating.

What to consider when buying a skateboard for your child:

The right size skateboard

If you’ve never had a skateboard yourself, all these sizes can quickly lead to some confusion. So here are a few tips to help you find the right size for your son or daughter.

Complete skateboard or a deck with individual components?

If you choose the complete board, your child can start right after unpacking. All components, such as trucks and wheels, are chosen to fit each other and are already assembled.

With an individually assembled skateboard, you have much more freedom of choice. To make this easier for you, we’ve developed the skatedeluxe skateboard configurator. With this tool, you first select your deck and then you will see the trucks, wheels and parts that fit.

You'll only get quality from a skate shop

The quality of the skateboards and the components can have a considerable influence on the enjoyment of skateboarding. And let's be honest, that's what’s really important to your child - that they enjoy what they’re doing!

Even if supermarkets or sports shops offer visually appealing skateboards for a cheap price, you get what you pay for. If you’re interested in a little anecdote, we recommend our blog post about the mistakes parents can make when buying a skateboard as a gift.

To guarantee long-lasting fun in skateboarding right from the start, we recommend that you buy the skateboard for your child from a skate shop. That way, you’ll only get high-quality products from established brands who really know skateboarding and understand what it takes.

Helmets & protective gear? Definitely!

The first steps are always the hardest. To ensure that your child will be able to enjoy skateboarding for a long time: Safety first! Of course, many skateboard pros don’t wear a helmet or protective gear in their video parts. But for children, they’re a must-have. Beginners who are still a bit wobbly on the board should definitely wear a helmet. Wrist, elbow, and knee protectors are also useful. Of course, you can also find skate helmets & protectors for your child in the skatedeluxe skate shop.
