We received this great invitation from Komakino, our buddy in Bordeaux that’s President of the local longboard organization.They’ve got a hot scene, a great group of skaters and are well worth your time to check out!Here’s Koma’s note:
Bordeaux Longskate club is a crew of skaters mainly practicing downhill though it was co created by former slalom champion, Dieter Fleischer. It was created in April 2002, aiming at gathering all longskate riders in Bordeaux, a French town famous for wine & cheese. The BLC has about 20 riders, and has been running a website since the beginning with an active forum.
During this winter, Odix and I decided to give a new direction to the website and make more updates. As we have both participated to the IGSA competition through Europe, we know most of the best riders. So, we decided to make interviews of the best French and European riders and publish them on our website every Wednesday. Odix is our “reporter” and gives it a kick! We already have something like 8 interviews including World Champion Martin Siegriest and Jibo Debure, French Champion. Many others are to come: girls, luge riders and Erik “the crazy Swede” Lindberg…

Insect is kicking off the new year with a brand new board! The "Surf
Bug" is an old-school monster built for crusing, boardwalking, and noseriding. 13 plies of birch and maple provide a stiff, yet comfortable flex, and the full inch of rocker gives you a low-to-the- ground, "locked in" feel and a classic, surf vibe. And with three inches of nose and tail you can manual to your heart's content.
