Longboarding

Written by Victor: manager in ISFM

Have you ever heard about longboarding? Longboarding is like skateboarding but a bit different, longboarding is more about speed and less about figures. Longboarders have gloves with metal palms, downhill longboarding is usually done in sleep slopes so these metal palms are used to slow down. For longboarding you need a longboard, a helmet, maybe a suit, and of course some gloves!

The longboard is designed for speed differently than skateboards, it has softer wheels, and it’s longer than skateboards.

Longboarding was created in the 1950s in Hawaii when surfers wanted to create a type of surfing on land. The longboard was made of plywood.

Longboarding is an interesting sport!
