Would this be too 'young' for a 12 year old boy who's athletic but never skated or surfed?

Yes I think it would be too young for a 12year old. I bought it for 5 & 6 year olds.

Might be. My athletic 10 year old uses it in the snow. My 7 year old will use it to try tricks and in the snow. However if your son is athletic I say go for a skateboard. My boys have skateboards and do well on them.

It may be, My kids were little when I bought it for them. But at his age he could set up stunts and not get "as hurt" if it had wheels. Sorry I couldnt help you more.

i wouldn't recommend for that age. i think it is best for 12 years old and under.

Yes , bought it for our 10 year old son.skate boarding and cycling. Was rated well an our son loves the fit.

Yes, it would - six is a bit young for this kind of thing. I would only recommend it if the six-year old has previous experience with skateboards and they had adult supervision while riding the sole skate.

I would say if the child is more athletic as early as age 6 but 9-10 and up. My kids are 12 and 16 and love it!

Yes, our son loves this surfboard and he can stand and ride the waves. He is much smaller, only age 7 and weighs around 50 lbs. I would check and see what the suggested weight limit is...but we are very happy with this board!

It would be perfect for a 12 year old. It does take a couple hours to put together. You have to watch the CD that comes with it. One of the screws was missing, but my 17 year old still plays it and it sounds great.

Possibly ... If he's that tall I'd probably just get him a kids bike with training wheels ... Sounds like he would grow out of this in no time. :)

Yes...my son is almost ten and it is a good viable option. It is a strong board and yet rolls well. He will not outgrow it anytime soon.

Depends on the size of the 12 year old. If it's a boy with man sized hands, a full-size tool set might be better. However for every other 12 year old, I would say definitely yes!

Yes it would be a great first board, my son said it turned great and was really easy to do tricks with.

It might be. The whole is a bit wide. My 2.75 yr old fits on it, but it's almost too wide for her sometimes. Your 12 month old will likely "fit" but maybe won't feel very secure....

Yes, this gun would be appropriate for a 12 year old, if he was already familiar with handling and shooting guns, had had a gun safety class, or was under adult supervision. This gun is Not your Daddy's pellet gun.

I think it would depend on how strong he is. I am not that strong, and I was able to get it together, but it was not all that easy. If you do buy this for your 12 yr old, help him put it together before he actually tries to do it by himself.

Yes I think so, my daughter is only 12 but she is 5'6" and 135lbs, it works for her very well. She also had never tried snowboarding before. We haven't gone to any ski hills but it works very well on the slope in front of our house.

Yes, I believe so. The detail is extensive and being 16"x20" I think your 12 year would become very discouraged quickly.

Hard to say really. My son is 8 now and probably will use it next year too. We like it for now, but may look at jumping into a higher level Easton at 10 or 11. You could always go to a Dicks Sporting Goods to swing it. Your son would probably do OK with it for this year but I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to "upgrade" next year. Good luck!
