Surfing Waves

what do people think of it and how much should i be paying for 1

1. Cool
2. No idea, when I did it I borrowed a mates spare board.

i payed £40 for my first one and it sucked then i brought a lush one for a £130 and it rocks so i would say spend some cash on it and get a good one

longboard skate boarding is huge fun.
You can pump it pretty well too.
I recommend a Sector 9 personally.. I love those boards.

dont supose anyone has one they want to sell me

depending where you are, craigslist.org can be a great place to find one... and a surf board!

Talking of pumping, check this out.
I learnt to pump by watching this and chatting to Dan, the guy in the vid.

What you want is a nice 9 ply maple deck, with a flex upward with no load, so it give you a bit of spring when you stand on it, and a set of seismic trucks and big fat grippy slalom wheels. Recipe for lots of fun.

i was thinking of getting a long board aswell, saw loads when i was travelling espally in california they look awesom.but thinking arnt i to old for a skateboard im only 24 tho.

me thinks its not realy the same as normal skateing with the slightly geeky element

no geeky element, at UH (university of hawaii) i see loeads of guys riding them around campus. if college surfer type guys in their early 20's are geeks, then who watches star trek?

yeh but with normal skating you get the little kids talkin about all the dumb variations of tricks it just gets a bit geeky by the way i do skate so im not trying too be ofensive

i thought you were reffering to longboarding to have the geeky element. no i agree. most skateboards on campus are longboards. shortboards are for kids, not sure if their geeky for kids. i suppose older guys on skatebords are kind of geeky.
