Alrighty, Memorial Day weekend on COVID-19 lockdown! It’s looking like a rainy, lazy Saturday, but luckily it hadn’t started raining when I got up this morning. I decided to go “surf” again. I tell ya, this surfskate thing really is a blast. I went back to the Goodwin Place Peeler to get some fun turns in. I also love how much of a workout pumping the thing is!
It was fun to think of the street in terms of wave sections. Like, I dropped in at the “peak” (top of the hill), did a backside bottom turn (at the far-side curb), pumped back across the “face” (the street, a bit of a stretch), then did a cutback at the “lip” (a sloped driveway). There were moments where I really did think I was in the ocean surfing. Pretty cool how this “toy” can work up the imagination and get the creative juices flowing.
I’m amped, this was a great quarantine purchase.
