Check out Turn360 (a shop and really cool bunch of guys) also longboard-sessions and middle-age-shred

I am 45 and went to an awesome outlaw in Wales. Probably one of the best weekends skating I have had, video here Southern Banditos

Well, if anyone changes their mind and fancies meeting up to go boarding drop me a message. Hopefully, I'll soon be able to ride and turn my board....

Loving boarding, for me it's a cross between a surfing and snowboarding feeling depending upon stance. Saw some guys out the other day but they were about 1/3 of my age,.., hopefully rain will stop sometime and I'll get out.

check out longboardsessions.co.uk

and also middle age shred out ( google for their website )

I believe the lads from longboardsessions hit Wales not long ago and had a great time.

Im sure Gav on here will give you a heads up anyway!!

Cheers, I've had a look at that site but doesn't seem to be much happening in Wales other than the occasional meet. It's all good, I'm still learning, just putting some carves together and some walking the board. Can't wait til the summer, planning to go to France and I know somewhere that could be perfect for longboarding....
