More Girls that ever before are taking Part in Skateboarding
In the past, girls were considered to be Tom Boys if they took part in skateboarding. However, this particular sport has taken on a new light with girls, especially those from about 10 to 14 years of age. The fact that society is now more accepting of girls taking part in such activities certainly helps. Many families have several boys too which means their sisters have grown up around skateboarding and often find it to be interesting.
Although there are many girls are comfortable skateboarding with male siblings or friends, many others are not. They feel that they are left out or that there is just too much to prove among the males. This is why you will often see groups of girls skateboarding together. They can encourage each other and help with building self confidence. In many regards, girls are more coordinated at this age and they are more patient. Therefore skateboarding can come easier for them to pick up than it might for males in their same age group.
There is support to be found in many forms too for girls interested in skateboarding. There are websites and even magazines dedicated to answering their questions and providing them with information. Such products are evidence that there are plenty of people out there that love the idea of girls getting involved. Even many of the male professional skateboarders have made comments about it. They often offer interviews and tips for females as well to encourage them to take part in it.
Although the industry of skateboards and accessories is still mainly geared towards males, the selections for girls are more than before. The fact that anyone can have a skateboard custom made for them or they can buy the pieces and make it on their own gives them more options as well. Don’t underestimate the skills that some of these girls develop when it comes to skateboarding as their speed and their ability to perform tricks just might blow you away.
However, there are complete lines of skateboards, accessories, and even safety gear that are developed specifically for girls. There are also more camps for these girls to meet each other and even competitions that are only open to girls. The fact that more of them are being able to take part in the sport of skateboarding means that it is continuing to grow in new directions.
The producers of such products are starting to see that they have shut out a great source of sales for too long. They had been forcing those girls interested in skateboarding to buy products that were made with males in mind. By taking a second look though and offering new products, they have found their sales increasing and girls becoming very happy with the selection out there.
If you find that your selection of such items is limited locally, make sure you go online. There are some companies out there that only make skateboards and gear for girls. There is no shortage of selection for great prices online. You may not have any idea of just how many great items exist until you start looking for them.
Any girl that is interested in skateboarding should look into it further and find out if it is for them. Too many of them though are still intimidated by the male dominance of the sport. Finding the right way to learn and taking the time to find the right skateboarding equipment though is a great way to get started. Don’t be held back by the norms of society but instead follow your passion to be a part of skateboarding.

Are longboard skateboards allowed in airplanes?
Would flight attendants allow me to bring my Longboard 42inches in the plane even without a case for it? I mean I’ve brought my Electric Guitar (w/ soft case) once to the airplane and the flight attendants took it and stored it somewhere and not in the over-head compartments for the rest of the flight. I’m gonna be flying in the same exact airlines where I brought my Electric Guitar with me which is “Etihad Airways”. So is it possible that my longboard would also be stored if i were to bring it in the airplane?
P.s. here’s their baggage allowance information Url: http://www.etihadairways.com/sites/Etihad/ph/en/planatrip/travelessentials/Pages/BaggageInformation.aspx#13
thanks in advance!
