Brief History
Longboarding was first invented by surfers in Hawaii as a means of taking surfing off the water and on the roads. If surfing was too rough or the waves were too low, people would sidewalk surf instead. Skating first appeared in 1959 but surfing came before longboarding. Early longboards were homemade and were made longer than skateboards because beginners would found it harder to learn on a regular skateboard. Longboarding has grown since as a popular hobby and sport.
Have fun longboarding :)
