The Penny Board 27″ skateboard vs the 22″ board
Spike age 15:
As the weather is getting warmer, we are all coming out of hibernation and looking forward to spending more time outdoors – on my Christmas list this year, a Penny Board 27″.
I loved how it was packaged, (and will be using the big box to keep some treasures in!)
Ronnie age 13: I have had the smaller penny board for a couple of years, which I bought with my own money, and I love it – it’s still works really well, and I enjoy taking it out on our street after school.
Having tried a friend’s longer Penny Board, I found that the larger of the boards was easier to navigate around corners and I really think the big one is a lot better, because I would definitely recommend getting the larger board as you get taller (My brother agrees and he’s 15 and 175cm, and I’m 162cm)
As I skate on the road (which is a quiet London backstreet) you don’t feel the bumps as much as you would on a normal skateboard – and I would definitely say that it’s worth saving up to buy the REAL Penny Board, rather than cheaper copies as the quality is absolutely excellent, the wheel mechanism smoother and just looks so cool!
Spike age 15: We also found that the bigger size cruises easier and turning is smoother. The 27″ board is a bit longer and wider than the smaller 22″ size, offering a bit more surface area under your feet, and hey my feet are getting bigger every week now!
The Design on the board
The Gunmetal Red Metallic Fade 27″ is the perfect board if you want to shine with a little more stability. the Metallic Fade is a unique look you can’t find anywhere else in the cheaper market. It is made with the same high quality formula Penny is known for, with a distinctive faded finish.
Perfect for riders of any skill level, the Penny Board itself is quite flexible so that balance is easier and the colours are really great, I like that and the bearings inside the wheels are very smooth so that you can travel for quite a time without having to boost yourself again!

The photography here is stunning and reading a review written by the users – the kids – instead of by Mum, really really works. Aaron’s not ventured onto skateboards thus far but I know he’d be fascinated by this information when he does. I can just imagine the big feet on the big board as you write so well. X
they are getting worryingly big those feet Liska!
And it’s a great project for them too, 15yo has applied for the Head Boy Team in the literacy category so he’s been getting lots of creative writing practice in on the blog x
They look like great skate boards. Stunning photos.
Thank you! I’ll pass that on to the photographer 😉
This looks like great fun! I was into skateboards as a kid! My mum always thought they were safer than roller skates!
I’d say your Mum was right, and the boys love to put their protective pads on Rachel, makes them look more pro.
