What size skateboard should a 15 year old get? A 8.0” wide, 32” long skateboard is ideal. Understanding the teen’s weight and size helps choose the right fit. A 28-inch skateboard may be too small. When choosing a deck, measure your inseam for the right length.
Choosing Factors for Teenage Skateboard
Factors to choose a teenage skateboard include height, weight, and shoe size. Standard decks are 7.5′′ to 8′′ for street tricks in size 11 shoes or less. Mini decks suit beginners 6-8 years old. Longboards are easier to ride than Pennys for first timers. Kids can start skateboarding between 5-10 years with safety gear and adult supervision.
