Hi
I live in essex so only enjoy surfing and skimboarding 4 times a year during holidays. Is longboarding similar to surfing and is it easy to do and carve? Also what boards that are cheap and available in the uk are good to buy?
Cheers

Long boarding and short boarding are completely different until you get used to switching between them - as in COMPLETELY different.
Master one then go for the other grasshopper ….. Enjoy !
