Kneeboards
The Google product category ID for Kneeboards is 3101, written as a path "Sporting Goods > Outdoor Recreation > Boating & Water Sports > Towed Water Sports > Kneeboarding > Kneeboards". It is a leaf: the taxonomy does not continue below it, so this is the most specific value on this branch, and if your product fits here there is nothing more precise to pick. It sits under Kneeboarding.

Where this sits in the taxonomy
Kneeboards is the only category at its level under Kneeboarding, so there is no neighbour to weigh it against.
Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (3101) or the full path ("Sporting Goods > Outdoor Recreation > Boating & Water Sports > Towed Water Sports > Kneeboarding > Kneeboards"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.
In your feed, it looks like this
Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.
| id | title | google_product_category |
|---|---|---|
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | 3101 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Sporting Goods > Outdoor Recreation > Boating & Water Sports > Towed Water Sports > Kneeboarding > Kneeboards |
This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 3101, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
Questions about Kneeboards
What is the Google product category ID for Kneeboards?
3101. The full path, "Sporting Goods > Outdoor Recreation > Boating & Water Sports > Towed Water Sports > Kneeboarding > Kneeboards", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Is anything more specific than Kneeboards available?
No. Kneeboards is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 6, so 3101 is the most precise value this branch offers. If it does not describe your product closely enough, the answer is a different branch, not a deeper one.
Where does Kneeboards sit in the taxonomy?
At level 6, under Kneeboarding (3370). The chain from the top is Sporting Goods → Outdoor Recreation → Boating & Water Sports → Towed Water Sports → Kneeboarding → Kneeboards. If your product does not belong under Kneeboarding, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
