Brushboarding

An intriguing new offshoot of the surf/skate/snowboard zeitgeist has emerged. It's called Brushboarding.

Anyone know where it can be done in Cornwall?

That looks sweet! No offence to the rider, but I'd like to see a really decent surfer on it to see the potential.

Brush Boarding is a tonne of fun!

John Hibbard (Fat Face pro windsurfer) has been Brush Boarding. So has Ben "SkinDog" Skinner. They both thought it was awesome, and are both in the Pre-launch video that can be found on www.BrushBoarding.co.uk and YouTube.

You can set up a ride session by going to the website - www.BrushBoarding.co.uk

The Brush Ramp will be starting its Summer tour on May 27th at Devon Crealy. It will be at Cornwall Crealy on May 29th.

If you know of other locations that might want to be part of the Summer Tour, let us know! We'll try to fit them in the schedule.

Hi,

I have to admit I was sceptical when I was first asked to ride on the brushes - I get asked to be involved with all types of weird and wonderful offshoots of boardriding and I thought Brush Boarding was just one of these - how wrong could I be????

It's totally addictive and an awesome for fitness - My heart rate was up at 170 BPM when I wrote it last!

Dropping in from the top and gliding across the face is great and setting up for a turn and pumping back across the face is a good workout and really works your board riding senses.

It's pretty easy to do and great fun.

I'm going to be at the Cornwall launch at Crealy Park (Tredinnick, Wadebridge) on May 29th. Everyone is welcome to come along.
