Wave boards and longboardsOkies, so I had a go at longboarding, which I really enjoyed, but I quite like the idea of a waveboard. Does anyone know anything about 'em, what're decent but not uber expensive ones or how easy it is?
(also, is skateboarding like longboarding or massively different? I have a skateboard but no longboard and haven't had a chance to try what I learned yet
)
Oh, I'm primarily after it as some form off transport, rather than for epic tricks. I'd love to try 'em, but I dunno if I'll ever work up the courage

Re: Wave boards and longboardsDon't know much about waveboards, apparently they're quite hard to ride. Longboarding is definatley a better as a mode of transport than skateboarding, they're built for cruising at higher speeds but aren't really designed for tricks, where as skateboards are more trick orientated.

Re: Wave boards and longboardsJust add better bearings (Reds Super) and larger wheels (Abec 11 NoSkoolz) to your Skateboard deck with aid of risers. Lngboards are very good for transport but may be a little inconvenient when it comes to University.

Re: Wave boards and longboardsIf you feel confident on skateboard it you'll find it easy to transfer to longboard.
This may be helpful.
