Yesterday (15th March) there was ever New Zealand long distance longboard race (Wohooo) held in Tauranga thanks to Nacho at BestBoards, it was a 10km flat race. Seemed like a very good times event not to much competitive angry sly tactics. Nat from "Skate New Zealand" took the crown for the event, and Wellington Xtreme crew member Ricardo Simés represented in 2nd place. Also racing from Wellington was (Krazy Kat Jestah, Ren, Tiny Tyler, not sure if Big Joe made it too).Well all looks promising for New Zealand longboard scene, as there are whispers, rumors, and some facts circulating that there may be a race down in the big Wellington sometime soon, hopefully bigger and better! Anyway it’s a rule that you always have to show the biggest stack at a race, so here it is below. Not much for a 60km/ph crash, without pads or gloves! One other thing that is always over looked protection wise is sports sunglasses. So what if you have a helmet or gloves on, what use are they when you can’t see!
