25 Gnarly Gifts For Skateboarders

A blank skateboard deck is a great gift if your skateboarding fanatic loves DIY projects. They can get artsy and customize it entirely themselves! The natural wood bottom is empty, and they could paint it with their favorite colors. Or decorate it with artwork, stickers, or other fandoms. 

The deck is a high-quality base, so you don’t have to worry about the board giving out anytime soon. They can have fun cruising around with a board that reflects their personality and interests that they created themselves!

Since we just talked about getting creative, paint pens are another awesome gift for anyone who appreciates skateboarding. The pens come in 48 bright colors, including black, white, brown, blue, green, red, orange, yellow, and various pastels and metallics. 

They can have a blast coloring on their board or copying specific designs for a unique and eye-catching look. The best part is the pens are non-toxic, dry quickly, and don’t fade over time. You can write on almost any surface with these pens, so don’t be afraid to try them out on a new board. 

A backpack is always a nifty gift to carry around a board, an extra pair of shoes, and a water bottle before heading over to the skate park. Skateboarders can transport various-sized boards, and an included port allows them to charge a phone to blast music while skating. 

This skateboard backpack has countless pockets and anti-theft compartments to store valuables. The bag is water-resistant and adjustable. Any skater of any age will appreciate the ease of use that comes with having a suitable pack that stores their personal belongings safely.

Who wouldn’t want to record their sick moves while skateboarding? The GoPro HERO10 camera creates fast and smooth videos that record optimal performance. Skateboarders can choose the slow-motion feature and view their stunts at a slower speed to reference as they practice. 

The GoPro camera allows you to upload your high-resolution images safely after storing them in unlimited cloud storage. Any risk-taking skateboarder will love that they can capture their stunts and upload them for the world to see. 

Having a skateboard roll around the house without proper storage could be annoying and dangerous. This portable stand allows skaters to keep the skateboard clean, safe, and secure without harming others. 

You won’t trip on the wheels, and the stand keeps the dirty underside away from the walls and floor. You can easily move it to wherever you want in the house. Storage underneath allows skateboard fans to shove all their other skateboarding accessories inside. They never have to ask: where did I put that again?  

Wait, you need wax for skateboarding? Yes, you do. Wax is a perfect gift for any hardcore skateboarder. Waxing the board and other places prevents the gears from rubbing too hard and creating wear marks.

Wax also reduces wheel bite but be careful if they’re new to this hobby because it can get slippery fast. They can fit the small wax in their pocket, and you don’t have to break the bank investing in good wax. Each one smells fruity and comes individually wrapped. 

Let’s face it: accidents happen even if we don’t want them to. If you want to protect your loved one as they skateboard around town, a road ID bracelet confirms first responders can act in case of an emergency. All the labels are engraved in caps for readability, and you can get the silicone band in various colors. 

You can choose to include specific medical info and other phone numbers. The bands are relatively fashionable. They can pair the bracelet with other jewelry to be safe but still look cool as they hang out with friends.

Skateboarding is a sport. Especially during the hotter months, you want to stay hydrated. A hydro flask water bottle is a fantastic way to keep your water cold for up to 24 hours. The bottle is durable, made from stainless steel, and doesn’t make your beverage taste weird.
