Skateboard Wrist Guard
Protect Yourself From the Most Common Skateboarding Injury

Skateboard Wrist GuardA skateboard wrist guard is designed help to protect the hands, wrists and forearms during a fall. Wrist injuries are some ofthe most common injuries seen in skateboarders.

The best way to avoid them is to learn to fall properly. Roll into a fall rather than extending your arms to catch yourself.

Wrist guards are usually made of neoprene and have a rigid plastic insert, or puck. This helps to absorb impact during a fall and also helps to slide across the ground. Imagine sliding on a rough surface without the guards and you'll see why they're worth the investment. Losing skin is not pleasant.

As with all skateboarding safety gear, a wrist guard should fit well. It should offer firm support without overly impeding your movement.
