Much like our good friend Longboard Larry, who has spent the last two weeks upping sticks (Pusher 2 info imminent!) and moving his workshop to a new location, we are also on the move.

The 10th Annual Coast Longboarding Seawall Cruise took place on Saturday 7th August in a very soggy Vancouver, and boy was there a great turnout – props to all who turned out to take part. We’ve done it in the dry and its lahvley, but in the wet, man…

Who says you can’t skate on gravel roads??? Getting deeper and deeper into the Andes, the crew tackles a 20-km gravel road winding down a mountain. Things are looking good and enjoyable until a nasty pothole sends Aaron flying, creating a hole in his elbow. Nasty wounds in S. America are bad news for infection.ContinueContinue reading “LongTreks – Episode 6: Gravel Roads”
