playing two player on a longboard. (two people on one board)

pk i saw two people on the same longboard. Well with my friend who rented a 9.4 sunset board we decided to try. WE managed to get on with alot of balance problems and then sunk... Is their a proper way to do this. At least we had a good laugh

It's called tandem.

It can be very graceful, although the difficulty level is... Higher than regular longboarding :D

A tandem board is best for this.

i saw two people on two differnt boards catch the same wave and the one stepped onto the others board and they rode it together. Then i saw them switch boards on the same wave they caught a wave and mid way jumped off and onto the thers board. Then the same circus act did their final trick three people caught the same wave and all jumped onto the same board it took them five attempts before they got that right. Okay the surf was really small but still the WOW factor was huge

they do that on the big wednesday. Cant be that hard as its one of the bits done by the actual actors not stand ins. Although they do sink and drop off the wave once the third guy gets on.

on endless summer it goes something like "everybody these days is surfing, even these guys who can only afford one board between them" :lol: and theres 4 guys on one board.

(not that i watch endless summer 2 far too often and know the script or anything :oops: )

Why dont you get one of Roys 300ft cheesegraters? we could fit the whole of SW on it
