All About SkateBoarding/WaveBoarding

[triggerfish70]

H, newbie in this forum, firmly believe that children should learn some outdoor sports ie inline and skateboarding etc.


Last year managed to introduce inline to my boys and they truly enjoyed it. Sothey requested for skateboarding this year upon seeing the wonderful skate park at East Coast.

So should you have 1 in mind, please let me know, thanks.

SkateSports (try google) used to offer skateboard classes.


DD took up yrs ago, there were disruptions due to insufficient min. to form a class/ Muslim fasting mth for coach. I was told it takes years for a basic "Ollie" trick, so DD stopped class eventually. Now DS wants to pick up too… I’m hoping DD can guide him in the basic staying and steering on the board.

I think skate boarding is a gd activity to boost hand eye coordination. However, it does go at higher speeds than wave boarding so its more ‘dangerous’. My kids played with both and i find that wave boarding not as risky. They can wave board together, holding hands and it’s really beautiful, like a dancing art. I hv lobangs for good wave boards in case any mothers keen can pm me. actually i dont think kids nowadays need lessons for such activities, they pick up the sport themselves! Haha but sad to say auntie like me cant even stand on a waveboard or skateboard for a minute!!!

Just get a penny board, plus helmet, elbow and knee guard. Learning is just like bicycle, can be done without tuition....i mean coach...

Care to recommend your coach?

No coach bro. Just step on it and roll. I 46 yo can do it, so can you.

Ive been thinking of letting my kid learn skateboarding as the kid is someone who is takes failure very hard. Wanted her to learn how to fall and know that it is very ok to fall and fail. Just need to get up and try again. Not too sure if you all think it is a good idea. And not sure where i can get my 5 year old to learn this

I prefer teach them to play some simple cards games and let them know they cannot always win the games. I have been teaching some small kids 6 or 7 years old to play simple cards game and there is lot of fun from it. Skate boarding is too dangerous for kids, they may suffer physical injuries when fall down. Or you can teach her how to ride bicycle.
