Every hoop is unique & made-to-order. In our efforts to save resources, we hand-craft our hoops one by one. Each is a work of art & practiced craftsmanship.
Hoop size is dependent on body size, style of hooping, skill level, and personal preference. Hoops are a lot like surfboards or skis~ the bigger and heavier they are, the easier they are, as the momentum (of the hoop) helps keep it going. However, it takes more effort to, say, pick the hoop up off your body & spin on your hands or off of your core. (From one perspective, heavier=a better workout.) The smaller & lighter you go, the more technique is required while you have greater choice of speed, direction, & rhythm. (From another perspective, faster=a better workout.) You may eventually find yourself the proud owner of a quiver of a few various sizes!

Hoop Creation...
Choose from each of the following drop-down menus, leave us any special requests, and we?ll help birth your creation!
A few hints:
*Understand the different hoop styles to choose from. If you have any questions, email us and we are happy to help!
*More tape adds more weight. Sparkle & reflective tapes show your hoop love more easily (wear & tear~ if you're a new hooper or getting a hoop for a child, stick with only one sparkle tape at most, or take care to hoop on friendly surfaces like carpet and hard floors, rather than concrete).
*We enjoy the artistic process, and make every hoop unique, assuming some creative liscence within your requests~ however, if you are envisioning something specific, please tell us in as much detail as you can. We also realize some hoops won't fit into these categories~ feel free to email us if you have extra-special requests, and we'll get back to you right away!
