SkateFurther Laura recently wrote a note on our Facebook page. Entitled ‘For the Love of The Demonseed’ it struck a nerve with many of us pushers. The demonseed is a true distance board.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a distance skater in possession of a Rayne Demonseed must be in want of a trail.

I don’t quite know how a skateboarder of five foot and two inches became transfixed by a board almost two-thirds her height. To the curious outsider, and the sane long distance mind (if there are any left!), it would make sense to have a scaled down, much lighter version for my little feet. But the heart wants what the heart wants. And for me, that meant the Rayne Demonseed.

The aim of this article is to explore how this very special plank of wood has woven itself into the hearts of like-minded pushers, and explain a little about my personal connection with this board.
