Offering a skateboard: How to choose?

Would you like to offer a skateboard but don't know the first thing about it? Don't panic, we'll explain all the basics for a successful gift...

What's a skateboard for?

If your aim is to skatepark and/or exploit the freestyle side of things. This is the skateboard and this is where you'll find some good advice.

If the skateboard is intended for city riding.then a skateboard cruiser would be a better choice. In this case, please consult our guide choix longboard

If the skateboard is intended for dancing, downhill, surfskate, pumptrack, or slalom, we advise you to opt for a longboard. You'll find more advice in our Guide Choix Longboard

A skateboard for whom?

Depending on the size of the person you want to give a longboard to, it's important to choose one that's right for them. skateboardit's important to choose a skateboard of the right size and width.

For a child, we generally choose a skateboard measuring less than 7.75" wide, but this is not the only criterion to take into account. For children, it's also important to have a narrow spacing between the trucks is also important, as it will enable them to place their feet naturally over the trucks without their legs being too far apart. The brands Tricksbrands, Aloiki, Santa Cruz, & Creature all offer child-friendly skateboards suitable for children.

Note: We have a selection of coeur pour la gamme Santa Cruz Enfants which have the advantage of combining reduced spacing, adapted length and reassuring width. trucks adapted length, reassuring width, and components trucks and wheels adapted to the weight of younger children.

For a teenager, the skateboards largeur 7.75" jusqu'à 8" will be ideal. Bear in mind that a skateboard narrow is more agile, but a skateboard is more stable.

For an adult, the decks from skateboard entre 8" et 8.25" will meet most people's expectations. If you're going to use them primarily for bowl skating, then a width of between 8.25" and 9" will provide greater comfort and stability.

What are the differences between the brands and models of skateboards?

The main difference between brands and ranges of skateboards often lies in the quality of materials and components. The skateboards top-of-the-range models are generally fitted with trucks, bearings and wheels and harder, more resistant woods.

Most of the skateboards offered by the major brands are designed for beginners and intermediate skaters. For more experienced skateboarders, the skateboards For more experienced skateboarders, 'à la carte' assemblies allow you to choose more robust and precise components. We also have some skateboards We also have a number of complete sets that we've assembled ourselves ('pack' is mentioned on the product sheet) and for which we've chosen a set-up dedicated to the pros.

There are different types of concave. If you do not have precise instructions from the person you wish to give the skateboard. The Medium concave will be the most versatile.
