Chucked a base to the short board and James, Jordan and myself had a heap of fun in 5knots max. Going to buy a cheap long board that should be wider and that will make it alot easier. Block your ears if you do not like swearing in this song

Drilled a hole in the center just behind the front truck, then put a base on to have it like a windsurf set up. Looking at making a bracket to go on a new long board with out having to put a hole in it ect.

Great video Izaak
Back-winding, nice jibes!, would make for good alpha's if you didn't care to have skin on your bones

Thats great fun Izaak reminds me of Jack and I going the full length of Lillicos straight on similar boards about a week before they opened the new highway years ago. Every so often we would hit a small hunk of blue metal and go over the front.

Back in the day we used to all meet on the top of Eastlands carpark for windskate sessions- going down the 30m ramp was real fun, you had to stay backwinded or else ca-splat!!.
The turfdog looks the way, great way to learn some of the modern freestyle tricks, i.e flaka's ( so they say!).
Merry xmas to all.

Yeah, I remember those days on top of eastlands carpark. Mostly in winter when there was no wind! We used to put witches hats up there and race around them

We went from standard skateboards to mountain boards with a back footstap and used those on the beach and on parks - heaps of fun!!
