    Default Wind During Commute Issue.

    These days locally, there is wind during commute like 11km/hour. This pushes me sideways.

    What issues have you had with LB and wind ? How do you handle wind during commute ?

    tuck, even at slow speeds. in the winter, i was in texas. it was 17 degrees, with -20 degree windchill. my tears froze. you just have to learn to not care.

    this may sound weird but if you are on a good pumping board, and you can pump [or are willing to learn to if you have a good pumping board] then just let the wind blow you sideways helping you pump. use the wind as a boost to one side and then explode back into the wind and then back out with the wind etc.

    its worth a try

    out where i live, every spring we get gusts upwards of 60mph. it always makes longboarding fun. only if your going with the wind

    Yeah, the sail idea is pretty cool. But otherwise, you are just going to have to push through it. Or move.
