This is another past time hobby of mine during the summer.

Sweet Arbor BG! Really nice surfy feeling board, perfect for barefoot longboard cruising. On the bikes right now with my wife, makes me want to hop on a board as soon as we get home. Well, maybe after a cold one for recovery.

Thanks LB! It's a sweet ride, and it does have that surfy feel, on pavement It's my first long board, bought it last summer, I definitely took advantage of it more this year, i got the trucks more broken in so it carves nicely now.

Longboarding had been a big hobby of mine. I haven't done much of it since deciding to forgo footwear though. I can foresee burning through a minimalist shoe pretty quickly. Also, the pavement in my neighborhood was ruined with chip-seal a couple of years ago and the thought of skating on that, doesn't appeal to me. Interestingly, my first exposure to minimalist running was through longboarding, when a Seattle area skater introduced the members of a longboard forum to BF Ted.

Here's a favorite of my longboards, 57" and turns like nobody's business:
