    I thought the same at first....I'm 41 now.....am I too old for this? So my sister bought me a Kahuna Pohaku w/ Gullwing's for Christmas. F'n A!!! I use my Leki backpacking poles w/ rubber stoppers on the ends so I don't have to kick.....what a blast! Their spring loaded in the handles, gives it a little extra umph. I'll get a Big Stick eventually. My next deck will be from Dune Longboards. Check them out on YouTube. I think they're on Twitter too, but I'm too old for that crap!

    I just read this thread and I was going to tell you that I reccommend the JBay from sector9...hahaha, you beat me to it.

    I really like it and it cruises real well...BTW, I'm 47 and using it to stay in shape and have fun...

    could also mention that original is based and run out of new jersey and the owners are both surfers. support your local even if they are growing

    get yourself a freeride/downhill board, then go find some hills and learn to slide. Mucho fun

    regarding the age issue. i skate with dudes well over 40. I'm inland here and we drive down and hit up baltimore and towson parking garages in the middle of the night. age aint no thing homez. won't give u as much stoke as surfing, but bombing a hill at 40 mph with some buds is close :). just adrenaline produced.

    Kooky you guys should hit up Landsdowne skatepark in Blatimore...2nd oldest park in the USA...all the old school dudes are up here with their old school decks.
