The Longboard Blog

Dear fellow longboarders…[by the way, this is our version of the state of the union address]. The state of longboarding is still very strong. Last spring we talked about fears of a recession in our economy, and this winter we have been bundled up in our homes hearing the realities on the evening news. The Longboard Store has been lucky enough to experience an increase in sales this winter, and we owe it to our wonderful customers. Many new customers have commented that longboarding is simply a cheaper and healthier mode of transportation. For 2009, we will be focusing on doing what we do better. We grew so fast in 2008 and brought on so many new companies, that we often didn’t have the time to properly describe the products. Moving forward, we have already hired another full-time longboard builder, and we have also been interviewing all week for a full-time web and creative person. This new person will keep the longboard photos up to date, write unique descriptions and full specs on all products, and keep this blog updated every day. We have also seen a storm of new companies emerge over the last few months. With the success of our Fresh Produce section, we have identified at least 4 new companies that will be sending boards over. Let’s hope for an exciting 2009 longboarding season, and many clear warm days.
