Endless Longboards is all about telling you the wonders of longboards, how to get the most out of your experience, and how to maintain not only your board, but safety and persona along your journey; however the term longboard has never really been explained. The term has never been broken down and shown for what it really is.

What is a longboard? What are they good for? Why? These questions are simple. A longboard is a skateboard, however typically longer [as stated in its name] and can be used for casual riding, downhill, tricks, and much more. Invented somewhere in the 1950's from surfers looking for something to do when the oceans were flat, skateboarding started from roller blade wheels attacked to 2x4's for primarily carving (like a surf board). From there became the sport we now see today, especially known for being revolutionized by the Z-Boys under the Dogtown label in the 1970's. From there, all kinds of skateboards and longboards boomed into what we see today. Longboards and downhill racing is a booming industry however. Due to its lack of publicity and advertising, downhill racing has remained, in a sense, a secret to the general public due to the sole fact that no one really pushes it in the current market.

Longboarding: sport, casual, hobby, lifestyle. All things longboarding is, but it's also much more. To myself, it is all of these. A career in the longboard industry to bring it to the public is a dream. Just a dream. Until the day I can help the industry out more than a blog, I will do that. Until then, ride on. Endless longboarding forever. Endless.
