It's longboarding...a very long skateboard. It looks almost like a mini surfboard, at least the one I got. My birthday was in April and Mother's Day just passed so I had some Amazon cards to spend. I decided to get something unusual and unexpected. I don't remember where I got the idea but it popped into my head. I looked at lots of longboards and then I saw an ad for the Kahuna big stick, so I clicked on that & watched the video. That made my decision...someone said it was like SUP but on land which totally appeals to me. I do love SUP but those boards are like 12 feet long which I'd have to put on top of the truck, drive to a body of water (which isn't too far) then take the board off the truck and paddle. Plus the costs would be over $1000. I figured I'd rent SUP at $30/hour and save the money.
The longboard changes that up a bit. Once I get comfortable and competent enough, I can board more locations like my neighborhood, the beach or park.
Tyler also wants to try longboarding so this is kind of killing two birds with one stone. :) Summer is coming so we can practice a lot and figure it all out.
Don't worry, I have a helmet and the various padding along with some ibuprofen.
It's long like the name implies. About 44 inches long and I even have my Vans (Tyler's outgrown shoes in a blink of an eye).
My Kahuna stick should arrive today so maybe I can test it out a bit in our cul-de-sac later. I'll let you know how my mini-mid-life crisis goes...
