I bought it for my 11 year old. He really liked it. It was his 3 board and the best one he had. He is no expert but has some skill.

I got my son this board as his first "real" board at 13 a year ago. It is a great kit and has held up well. Looks good, rides well. The wheels that came with it seemed "soft" - they wore out kind of fast. But they are easy to replace. Also, one set of bearings kind of gummed up. Might need to keep an eye on those. But definitely I'd say a good first board to get used to.

Yeah zeros are great and starting out with a complete is the best way to go. My only issue is this board could be a little big for you, though it all depends on personal preference and you'll figure out what you like when you start riding. I'd say go for this or look for an 8.0 inch deck. That's basically the standard size, this is just a tad bigger.

It is a great starter board for anyone. You are not going to want to get a short board because he will grow into it. I have been hard on mine and it still rides like the day I got it.

I bought it for my 12 year old, she said the wheels were not very good. For a smaller child I think it would be fine because the wheels don't turn super fast. For an older, or heavier child, I would go with something with better wheels. The board itself is nice though.

This is a good board! My sister is 15 but the kids in the nieghborhood(ages ranging from 7-11) ride it also. Riding a board requires balance so i would recommend getting a helmet and pads if he can't get the hang of being on a board at first.

I mean it says 176 by these boards seem pretty tough. I ve seen YouTube videos where cars run over them and they don't break. If you re concerned just get the stereo cruiser wood version. Idk if amazon offers them. Another brand is z-flex they offer crusiers and tiny skateboards. Then there others like sector 9 and stuff but again don't know if amazon offers them. But they are a little bit more because they are wood. Idk hopefully this helped. I bought my stereo for $40 bucks on here . Which is a good deal? I mean you should try it for that price.

Yes...my son is almost ten and it is a good viable option. It is a strong board and yet rolls well. He will not outgrow it anytime soon.

Hi Maryann, I bought this board for my 13 year old daughter and she doesn't have a problem with it. The board is well balanced. It also, has a hand grip in the center that makes it easy to carry. With regard to the length it will benefit you on the water and because of the balancing and grips it's not difficult to move around.

My 11-year-old had no skateboarding experience, and he mastered it in a matter of minutes. If your child is well coordinated, it should be fine but keep a close eye out at the beginning!

Absolutely, this board is great for beginners. When I first received it, it was my first time riding a longboard. But with this board, I learned very quickly.

Yes. Its a great board for the price. Just make sure to loosen the nuts when it arrives to get a better ride.

@cheetah2000, it is a great board if you are around 110 or more. Is gunna feel weird at first but definatly loosen trucks before you ride.

Yes I got for my daughter. She's 13 and loves it. Great skateboard.. For the money.

Definitely. I would consider purchasing new wheels eventually though. The board is great for cruising though I have no problem with its everyday use.

Yeh definitely a great 1st board as it was my 1st, and is able to keep up with now intermediate riding as well. As far as rough surfaces that's kind of open ended but it has handled well around town on less then ideal sidewalks. Would recommend this board!

Yes. This a great board for cruising. The length of the board means that you can go real far on each push. Upgrade to Bones Reds bearings, and you go even further. I've had mine for a year ( with Reds bearings) and I am really happy. Even good for some tricks such as cross stepping. You can pay a lot more for a complete longboard, but it's more than good enough for cruising.
