Yes,it's a nice solid board and is not to long like the older kids have.My 9 year old grandaughter loves hers.

Don't know why you would ask that, that up to the parents to decide, there is no age limit required. When I was 8 I rode bicycles, rollerblades, skateboards, and anything else with wheels.

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.

no, the board is poor quality, could be a paddle board for kids, it is only 6 feet, a paddle board are usually 9' foot up.

With practice I would recommend it to anyone age 10 and up. Once you get the basics down it is easily rideable. The board is in fully operable condition with few scratch marked due to normal use.

It actually is an excellent board for the price. It is smooth and quick. I bought for a thirteen year boy on his birthday........broke his arm using it within a week. Good luck!

Hey! I would DEFINETLY reccomend this board if he wants to get into skateboarding. It is very stable and it is great for beginners. I hope he loves it! Best regards

This is a great board for the price. However, I would recommend that she start on a larger board. It's much easier for first-timers to learn on larger boards. My 7 and 10 year old had fun trying to get on it, but I quickly realized it was too small for a beginner,

yes, kids like to practice tricks with it...it's a good board for a beginner.

We bought it a year ago for our 7 year old who is now 8. It's a full sized board so it seemed a bit big for him at first but he loves it.

Depends on how much he uses it of course but I would say it will last several years if cared for. Of course if he uses it often, he'll need a more advanced board soon! You can always resell it to another person just starting out---they are hard to find used. This is what the surf camps at our NC beach use. It's been a great board for our 50 lb 9 year old daughter.

I bought this for my nephew at age 13. I think the older kids like the long boards. However, it was a good board.

Yes. Its a great board for the price. Just make sure to loosen the nuts when it arrives to get a better ride.

Jane, that is the reason I'm buying for my 8 year grandson. He like to build things. At 8 it may take a little help but I don't think it will take much.

My son is about 150 lbs...and the board hasn't cracked yet! So it would be a good first longboard for you. Have fun!

Yes it's very very user friendly. An 8 year old would have no trouble. battery and charger is included.

Edit: My friend is 220 and he rides without a problem. This is a great board, I got it for him a year ago for his birthday and it's still in perfect shape.

It is good for beginners. My 13 year old uses it and his only experience on a board prior was a penny board. He rides it around the neighborhood a lot and it hasn't shown any signs of wear or cracking.
