Seasons change for boards




Its now the big seasons change
in Stockholm for my boards.
Summertime is longboarding, wintertime its snowboarding and in between its monsterboard or some call it dirtboard.
Its now too many wet leefs on the ground for longboarding and that is soooooo sad.
So time to put the wonderful longboards away and bring up the snowboards, witch is not half as fun as longboards.

My favorite longboard is the Swedish brand Kahalani, with the board made of chestnut tree and extra big wheels for smoth cruising in city traffic.
Sometimes I have my 8 year old son sitting on the front of the board and Im standing on the back, he have his own
longboard but is too lazy and want to sit on mine like a taxi... hmmmm


My husband and daughter also have a longboard each and its wonderful cruising around and go for picnics or just transport yourself around the city.


Last week I took my son to the park for a lesson in dirtboarding.
The most amazing advantage in riding the dirtboard for a 42 year old mother is the HANDBREAK... I love the handbreak...!!!
It can be scary sometimes when it gets to very high speed with longboards, snowboards and dirtboards, but the handbreak... wow am I happy...

He of course was flying down without using the handbreak










Bye bye longboards until spring
