San Leandro, CA – Skate Shop News: Looking For That Perfect Skateboard Gift?

It’s that holiday season once again! The hustle and bustle of the Christmas season is upon us and we are all looking forward to some much needed time spent with the family, the amazing food on the dinner table and of course the gifts! Despite the gifts not being the primary reason for the season… Those gifts always seem to drive the normally sane person a little bit nuts every year, thinking and planning, hoping to snag that perfect gift for the loved one you want to bring joy and excitement on the special morning. Especially for that one skateboarder in your life…

What gift will make a typically drab teenage skateboarder jump to life with enthusiasm? That is the age old question. Whether your skateboarder is a budding youngster with pro aspirations, or serious contender at the local skatepark, it can be difficult to grab that perfect item. 

If your skateboarder is a beginner it can be a whole lot easier to pick up an item from the skate shop and have it be put to use right away with glee, but if that skateboarder is proficient, they will have their own set of specific preferences on the product they choose to ride. For the beginner you can grab almost any accessories, such as a helmet, pad set, wax, stickers etc., you can even go as far as to grab a cool graphic deck or some fun colored wheels, either way they will most likely love it. 

Gifts can be harder for the skateboarder who has their own specific needs, grabbing just any deck off the wall or set of wheel could land that product in the closet due to the incorrect sizing or shape. If you can get info on what size deck they ride, what size and brand of wheel or trucks they prefer, that could really help you out. Regardless of of what you are looking for, if you head down to a local shop like Orbit Skate and Boutique, one of the experts behind the counter will be more than happy to assist you in finding that perfect gift for your favorite skateboarder!
