Do I need to buy all the equipment for the skate lessons?
Having personal skateboard equipment is highly suggested, as the student will be more comfortable using their own skateboard and pads. You can purchase equipment directly from us. Here is the link to view our store: http://www.theskateside.com/store.
What type of skateboard should I buy for my child?
When it comes to buying a beginner skateboard, there isn't a brand that you should start with.

They will also give your child a bad impression in using low quality skateboards.
