first longboard!

Postby Verde » Sun Sep 11, 2011 1:03 am

just bought my first longboard yesterday! I normally shortboard, but I got an urge to expand my surfing horizons. Its a 9'4" Pearson Arrow and it is beautiful! Its really fun to ride but I find myself trying to power it through turns like on my thruster, but I find its much more of a finesse. cant wait to try my hand at noseriding :mrgreen:. Just super stoked and wanted to share! :surfing:

Good job :D. I think it is actually harder to go up to a longboard, than come down to a shortboard!

here she is! taken her out three times now and I'm really starting to feel comfortable with the extra size. Still a long ways to go before I get my toes on the nose though!

It looks great, and it's good to see you referring to her as "she" - you've bonded already!
