The LA times released an article on longboarding today. It is pretty interesting and well written. Obviously LA and the UK are pretty different, but the article makes some great points, is well written, and talks about longboarding very favourably. It is in the health section which is a nice change from the skater punk image the industry is more used to.
Longboarding is a great form of exercise and with the cost of fuel, it is so much cheaper than driving for short distances. The biggest factor favouring longboarding is how accessible it is for people of all ages and abilities. It is a lot of fun too!
Our Never Summer longboard range is currently on sale! Check them out.
