For you longboarders..

Just came across this on FB and thought it was pretty cool. How bloody long is that board!! Must be like 11-12ft?

4 or 5 steps down the Board and he's only half way!

see if you can find some Roy Stuart videos as well, although the boards arent quite as long nor is roy as good a surfer

(make sure you roy stuart 'surfboards' to your google search, as I've just discovered...)

Here is a 13 foot board

That board looked more like a liability than fun! What's the point?! Looks
and sounded pretty unfunctional

No duck dives, corks or carves.

Man those are ridiculously long! Must've been chaos without leashes having those gigantic boards flying around

[oldmansurfer]

Those are hollow. Can you imagine the big wooden boards that the Hawaiians rode? They weighed 100 pounds or more and were way more difficult to steer. Most people learned laying down and then if they improved they rode sitting or on their knees and grabbed or pushed the rail to help turn it. Only those surfers who were fairly good at it stood up.

here is a very long board. Notice sometimes he makes a couple turns before the wave has broken
