Cyprus Another Angle | Longboarding – a stunning way to enjoy the mountain views of the island with Antonis Kyprianou

Longboarding started in the 1950s. The idea originated with surfers in Hawaii. They wanted to bring surfing to land when the waves were too small to surf. They made a new kind of skateboard of thick plywood shaped into a smaller version of a surfboard, with trucks and wheels screwed to the decks, and used their surfing moves on small hills.

The land speed record on a longboard of 146.73 km/h (91.17 mph) was set in 2017 by Peter Connolly!
