Buying your first skateboard can be more difficult than you may expect. There is a huge range of skateboards available from a number of sources and a wide variety of prices. The first thing to consider is safety. It is important to stay safe when skateboarding. Don’t buy a cheap skateboard from the toy shop. These boards are mass produced and often use inferior material compared to the boards built by the specialist manufacturers. You should also get appropriate gloves, wrist guards, elbow pads, kneepads and a helmet. This gear will minimise your risk of injury and most skateparks require you to wear safety gear.
As a beginner it is best to buy a complete skateboard. This is a skateboard that is preassembled and ready to use. The other choice is to buy all the parts you need and create a custom made skateboard tailored to your own needs. This is not a good choice for a beginner as you will be learning and developing a skating style you won’t have the experience to make the best decisions. Better to buy the best complete board you can afford from a reputable company. In the UK you should be able to get a decent beginners board for about £40. Do your research. Go to your local skateshop and ask for advice try a few boards, speak with other skaters and skatepark staff and the Internet is also good for researching prices etc.
In general beginners tend to prefer a longer wider board. This type of board provides you with more stability while you are learning and as you improve and get more experienced, you can choose a board more suited your skating style.
