Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys longboarding, there are several gift options that would truly thrill him. Here are a few ideas:

1. Longboard Deck: A high-quality longboard deck is an essential component for any longboarder. Look for one that suits your son's riding style and preferences. Consider options like bamboo or carbon fiber decks for added durability and flexibility.

2. Longboard Wheels: Upgrading your son's wheels can significantly enhance his riding experience. Look for a set that offers the desired grip, speed, and smoothness on different terrains. Pay attention to the durometer (hardness) and diameter, as they greatly influence performance.

3. Protective Gear: Safety should always be a priority. Consider getting him protective gear like a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards. Look for options that are specifically designed for longboarding to ensure the best fit and protection.

4. Longboard Bearings: Bearings play a crucial role in determining how smoothly the wheels roll. Upgrading your son's bearings can noticeably improve speed and overall performance. Look for reputable brands known for their durability and precision.

5. Longboard Bag: A bag specifically designed to carry a longboard can be a practical gift. It allows your son to transport his board easily and protects it from scratches or damage. Look for a bag with ample padding and reinforced handles or straps for added convenience.

6. Custom Grip Tape: If your son enjoys personalization, consider ordering custom grip tape with a design of his choice. It’s a fun way for him to showcase his style and add uniqueness to his ride.

7. Longboarding Accessories: There are numerous accessories available that can enhance your son's longboarding experience. Some examples include slide gloves for freeriding, foot stoppers for downhill riding, or a skate tool for quick adjustments and maintenance.

8. Longboarding Lessons or Camp: If your son is interested in improving his skills or trying new tricks, consider gifting him lessons with an experienced longboarder or enrolling him in a longboarding camp. It will give him the chance to learn from professionals and meet other longboarding enthusiasts.

9. Longboarding Books or Magazines: For those cold winter days or times when he can't go out to ride, gift him a longboarding book or a subscription to a longboarding magazine. This way, he can learn new techniques, get inspired by stories, and stay connected to the longboarding community.

Remember, the best gift is one that aligns with your son's interests and preferences. By considering his specific longboarding needs and desires, you can choose a gift that will be both meaningful and personal.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
