The term "Penny" is synonymous with "Penny Skateboards," an Australian-based company founded in 2010 by Ben Mackay. Penny is a registered trademark for skateboards, but has been widely generalised to describe all small plastic skateboards due to the brands popularity. Penny Skateboards revived the plastic skateboard category by pairing a high quality plastic deck with cruiser wheels and trucks. This combination now epitomises a "Penny board" in generic terms. Penny Skateboards was named after Ben Mackay's sister, Penny.Penny boards are composed of several different parts, which are made separately. They can be purchased either as complete, fully assembled skateboards, or in separate parts. Because they are made out of plastic, Penny boards have a lighter weight, but are also incredibly strong. Genuine Penny Skateboards will often not break, even if run over by a car as they are designed to absorb immense force. They are sold in three different deck sizes, the 22", 27" (the Nickel) and 36" longboard. Available in a variety of colours and designs, Penny boards are a popular fashion accessory for teenagers and young adults, influencing clothing styles, music and street culture. Penny boards are often seen in places frequented by young people, such as university campuses and skate parks. Penny Boards grew in popularity as a transport option for students as they were small enough to be left in school lockers. They are particularly popular in coastal areas, where people use them to cruise along sea-side boardwalks and footpaths. Penny boards can be ridden barefoot, a practice that Penny Skateboards has promoted via social media and with stickers and t-shirts."@en }
