    anyone got their kid one of those 'soft foam top' skateboards?

    got a wee 3yo girl here who's wanting a board. i dont want to get a supermarket shite thing as it'll hinder any form of learning.

    Enjoi do 6.75" boards with tensor trucks but instead of griptape its a soft foam.

    Figured this foam is better for her wee bro (1) more if he wants to sit on it and play too.

    it any good or would i just be better sourcing a 6.75-7" board and putting regular grip on it?

    • No experience, but a friend did the rubber grip tape and it was pretty great, just made the board heavier.nb
    • Actually not sure rubber grip is still available that was like 20 years ago lolnb
    • Regular griptape, I reckon. She's probably gonna fall on the ground, not on the board.section_014
    • My 2 cents which are probably worth nothing... just get her started on a regular board and she'll grow into it. I just set up my daughter's first. She loves it.ben_

    • i don't think you can go wrong with one of those foamy boards at all though.ben_
    • Ben_ awesome pic. What size board did you get her?microkorg
    • It’s huge... 8.65 p7 polar deck. 60mm longboard wheels. She’s too little by a long shot but she scoots on her but and tries to imitate my ollies. Which is scaryben_
