The rise of the Longboard.

I've always loved the idea of snowboarding or skate boarding. When I was younger I had a skateboard as most young teenagers do. However, now at the young-ish age of 43 [Cough]  I have this hankering feeling of wanting to get another one.  

There is a great article from longboardbrand.com that breaks down the different types of longboard. Could I be going through a mid life crisis. Who knows? What I do know is that some of the new boards on the market look great, especially the designs from German designer tom wilhelm whose designs wouldn't look out of place in a design museum.
