How big are your hoops?

Tailspin hoops come in two sizes: Standard (41” diameter) - great for tall or beginner hoopers, and professional (36” diameter) - for smaller or more experienced hoopers.

Why are the standard-sized hoops so big?

Adults: have you tried using a toy-store-bought hoop lately?  Wow, is it hard!  Why?  Because as adults, we’re just bigger than we used to be.  The low weight and smaller diameter of a child’s hoop makes it really difficult to use.  Tailspin’s standard-sized hoops are designed for an adult body, so you can keep it going much easier!  Plus, all of our hoops have a swirl of “grip tape” on them, that helps the hoop to “stick” better (which means less clattering to the floor as you’re learning!)

If you think you might need a hoop larger than our standard 41 inches (if you have a larger waist size or are over 6’ tall), we would happy to make you a slightly larger hoop.  Your hoop should, when you stand it on end, come somewhere between your waist and chest...  So at 41 inches, Tailspin’s hoops will fit most adults.  But if you need a different size, just e-mail us and ask!

What the heck is “hooping”, anyway?

Hooping, or hoopdance, is a great way to shake your booty and feel like a kid again!  It’s part dance, part workout, and 100% fun.  All you need is a hoop, your favorite music, and a little bit of room, and you’re ready to go!  Here’s an example:

Hooping sounds like a blast!  How do I learn all of those cool moves?

We are available for private instruction at your location -- ask us about our party package, which includes hoops for your guests and a 1-hour lesson! 

What is Tailspin’s return policy?

We will accept returns on a case-by-case basis; contact us if you have a question.  If your hoop has been scratched or scuffed at all (in other words, showing signs of use) we will not be able to accept it as a return.  We cannot accept returns of custom hoops, even in perfect condition -- If you place a custom hoop order with us, we will e-mail you photos of the design you’ve requested to ensure that you are 100% happy  with them before they ship.  We have a perfect track record of customer satisfaction, and want to keep our good streak going.  :)

Do you ship internationally?

We are able to ship our Travel hoop internationally; please contact us directly to place your order, as our shopping cart does not calculate the cost of shipping outside the U.S.
