Frequently Asked Questions About Longboarding (FAQ)
Longboard Sport is a sport that American surfers started in the 1950s when they could not find waves, so they could surf on land. They produced the first longboards by attaching the trucks and wheels of Quad skates under the surfboards. It would not be wrong to think of longboard sport in the logic of wave surfing because we can see Longboard movements such as Cross Step and Hang Ten in surfing. Based on this information, we can define Longboard as surfing on land.
