While only just related to windsurfing, I still figure some one on here may be able to help me. I made a Wind skater from my brothers long board and some old gaastra rig from the 90's I had lying around (5.0 with a single cam) and have been bombing around the yacht club car park for a while and love it. But people are getting sick of me bumping into things in the confined space, so I was wondering if anyone knew of some wide open, mostly empty, smoothly concreted area's where I could take it for a shred. And does anyone else have one? Maybe we could hold an event or something, wind-skating slalom races?? Next big thing?

Yeah I've seen those, they look pretty awesome! I just made mine with whatever I had lying around, but it still is wicked fun on concrete. I cant find any carparks that the wind gets into though.. there are always buildings and stuff around.. And I hadnt considered the regatta grounds, I'll check it out, thanks!

I used to windskate at Macquarie wharf before the Fun Police locked it up. It was great. Catapulting onto bitumen was'nt! No splash...big SPLAT
The only place that might be OK that I've seen is the double tennis court at Taroona Primary School. It faces north. Not huge space but a possibilty and deserted on weekends. The other spot I have scoped is the new concrete promenade at Sandy Bay Beach. I've ruled it out for windskating because I'll spear off the edge or harpoon a Lycra Lady, her latte and poodle! I do Dogskate it though.(Black Lab Tow Dog)
I might even drill a hole in the nose of my longboard for old times sake, whack a rig on and go for it. I will be wearing my motorbike helmet.

Since the olden days the rules for the skid pan have changed. . Probably not a great idea.
What about rosny tennis courts at the bottom of the oval?

I say the skid pan still with alcohol, crack pipe and arms deals.
JUST say you know the big fella 'Fos'

The ones we have are mountain boards with pump up wheels which are great on the beach and any hard surface. I dont know if I would want to go any faster as these sometimes get the speed wobbles over about 40kph...heaps of fun though

some mountain boards and lets have a meeting on the lauderdale oval ???
