Online sources for buying hulahoops

 

Looking for one of those HUGE hula hoops to buy? You'll find here a number of hoopers selling all kinds of hoops: adult hoops, custom-designed hoops, kids hoops, fire hoops and LED hoops.

This site is meant to be a start in your search, rather than a comprehensive list.

(I found this photo on tribe.net. The hooper is Jula, and her YouTube videos show her beautiful hoop style.)

Buying your first hoop? 

Some basic advice

My suggestions for your first hoop:
* Go heavier and bigger to start.
* Make sure your hoop has at least one strip of gaffer tape on it (to increase the grip).
* Buy a quality adult hoop from a small manufacturer, such as those listed on this site.
* Get a good basic hoop for a teenager or adult has, imo, these starting point specs:
- 160 psi
- 3/4 inch tubing
- 42 inch diameter

(Any hoopmaker will understand these specs.)

Also:
* Insist on 160 psi materials or above. Do not get a 100 psi hoop as your first hoop.
* Avoid water-weighted hoops like the plague.
* Stay far away from the Heavy Hoops and anything with ripples and waves in the hoop.
* Get a minimum 3/4 inch tubing; 1 inch is ok, too. Nothing less for your first hoop, though.

Have fun. Be safe. And happy hooping.

Customizable Hula Hoops on eBay 

Skip the store brands. Get a handmade hoop. (They're much better!)

From their site:
** Lightweight ¾ inch tubing makes a hoop that weighs about 1 lb. or less depending on the diameter. (41" and larger would be more than 1 lb.)
** Heavyweight ¾ inch tubing makes a hoop that's about 1 ½ lbs. or more depending on the hoop diameter. (38" diameter = about 1 lb 8 ounces, 42" diameter = about 1 lb. 11 ounces).

Diameter starts at 36" and can be made up to 44". I recommend about 42" hoop for beginners and those focusing on learning tricks. 36" - 40" hoops are good for more advanced hoopers and those who may want to hoop dance to songs with a faster beat.
