I just got a longboard so looking up some technique info, etc.
but the LBWS forum is down !
its been showing an admin login page for weeks now, anyone know who runs it and what happened to it?

the longboard wasn't enough to save me from getting skunked this sunday,
but i did get it going ok in about 7kts saturday morning to about slow jogging speed
and great upwind.

I forgot my boots, so it was running shoes or barefoot.
Being a serial toe-stubber i opted for sailing in running shoes!
proper authentic 80s-style!
which worked out ot be a good idea when you've got to give the mastfoot a good kick to slide it

I didn't get it railing or get a proper flare gybe




check out those rails, right angles all along from nose-to-tail
