Recently, I've worked a couple of skate style shoots and ever since have been paying more attention to the sport. The attractiveness of a guy casually skating past on his board and the way those skate-chic girls just drop and go pushed me to my decision- I'm going to learn to skate.
I'm not saying I'll be able to do all of those fancy tricks, jumps and turns (not yet anyway) but I want to be able to get from A to B on a board, without falling off... So first thing's first, I need to find a board. I've decided to go with the Penny; a brand of smaller, plastic versions of the classic skateboard.
Founded by Ben Mackay and based in Australia, Penny Skateboards have made a name for themselves across the globe. Below are the top three Penny boards that take my fancy.
Penny Fade
Available in a variety of fades, including my personal fave pastel, this is the cutest little board and one that will definitely get a few compliments!
Penny Marble
I nearly died when I found these cuties- the white/green for me please!!
Penny x Hundreds Collab
I love a hint of camo! This board would be a nice accessory as well as a great way to get around...
So those are my top three! Hopefully I'll be purchasing one of these very very soon (birthday coming up, hint hint). You can also customise your very own Penny board on site at www.pennyskateboardsonline.co.uk. Fancy giving it a go yourself? Go, go, go!
P.S. If any of you talented young skateboarders fancy giving me a few lessons, it would be very much appreciated if you got in touch! xx
