We've just added a link to our skateboard sizer to our profile. This is to help you buy for kids, because too often we've seen small kids struggling to kickturn a huge board 😢 

Our sizing guide is based upon wheelbase (distance between the front & back wheels), rather than width, because in the past we've made recommendations based on width, and the wheelbase has turned out completely wrong for the rider in question. We've had much more success with correlating wheelbase with the height of the rider 

We've added a wheelbase range for a given height range. We'd suggest if you are heavier for your height and/or have poor balance, go for the upper range - prioritising stability. If you are lighter for your height, and/or have good balance, go for the lower range - prioritising manoeuvrability 😊

Skateshops, list wheelbases please!
