Hamboards: The Long And Longer

Economic times are troubling, but full-time fireman Pete Hamborg’s Hamboards‘ is rolling through it all in a very large, oversized, long way, according to an LA Times story.

Hamborg is the creator of the Hamboard, a nearly 7-foot-long skateboard he says mimics the feel of a surfboard on the water. . . . Hamboards have picked up a devoted following among hard-core surfers and skateboarders — those devoted enough to the sports to shell out $395 for one of the boards.

We don’t really get the product, but maybe size matters to some people.

actually, no wheelbite
these things are a blast to ride.
and they run over small dogs very easily.

As you can see in this picture the board has dug outs so that the wheels do not bite.
