My fellow Long boarders,
For those interested in surfing and skateboarding, your input on a surf-based skateboard would be very helpful. Currently, I’m working on an industrial design thesis project focusing on a sideways stance, mobile board that tries to capture some of the sensational qualities of surfing. These questions below were made for gaining insight from actual users, so if its not a hassle could responses from these questions be e-mailed to minodesign1@hotmail .`
1) Describe an ideal board that would cater toward surfers. What would it ride like? How might it work? What components would it include?
2) What type of physical appearance do you think a surf-based skateboard should have considering the styles of today? (Examples: aggressive, classic long board style, rugged, retro, ect…)
3) If your ideal surf like skateboard required wheels what type would you put on your board for maximum performance?
4) What is the best baring for an ultimate smooth ride and speed?
The information that you shared with me is greatly appreciated! For those who respond to these questions, could I get your e-mail addresses so I can get some feedback in a few months about the progress made in my conceptual sketches?

Thanks for your added input,
Mitchell (Kendall College of Art and Design)

In the early 70's we skated on Bruce Wayne kicktails with excaliber trucks and open bearing wheels. Then came road riders and trackers. Now,my bro rides a board made in Switzerland. Todcar is a racing fool. I envy his love for the sport and also wish I could have been there in Lake Tahoe. Keep riding hard you old dogtown wannabe. If I ever have a pool I will drain it for you just to see you kick Tony Alva's ass. Love those girls. BRO

I first started skateboarding in 1977 in CA around the Bay area and the board I purchased was huge for it's time. I now ride one 7ft long. My roots you could say came from my first long board. your sport rocks!

One man. One name.
General Lafayette (1757-1834) he was french and he helped the american people to became AMERICANS
there is no need to say that other country are bad
and USA is the only good country on earth
because it is not real
Nothing is all white nothing is all black
my English is really poor and I can not express myself very well but you need to know;
that today in France everybody is American
and I relly think that it is the same all over the Europe
I am so sorry for those people killed, I pray for them and for the freedom.
I love New York and I love USA

You're damn right I'm doing this...my sport is patrolling for
those highrise parking garages, including the ones hidden
in around the back of office blocks. Amazing what gnarly
ramps can be found, spirals etc. I know the garage you're
talking about, a young lady called Devo once posted about
that one, a 10 storey spiral if I recall.

I have found that the 10-story parking deck at my office in downtown Atlanta is a great place to ride. On weekends, its empty, allowing wide turns and good speed, uninterrupted from top to bottom. Bonus: when you reach the bottom,the elevator takes you back to the top for another run. Anyone else out there doing this? (44" G&S fiberflex pintail)
