You can't always rig your kit and go out. Sometimes there just isn't any wind. Sometimes there isn't enough time. Sometimes your kid just wants to play after being stuck inside all day because of rain. And when the kid is six, you can't take him windsurfing on the Hudson River. So what do you do? You go concrete longboarding!
That's right. Break out the skateboard. Pop on a helmet (the same one I use for windsurfing). Get the kid's scooter out of the garage, and let's go to the park. Come on Gabriel, it's you and your Daddy on wheels!
A longboard skateboard isn't that much like windsurfing, but there is some crossover. The longboard, of course, makes much tighter turns than a Kona board, and there's no mast, and there's no reliance of wind direction, and it's a whole lot smaller, but it has its uses. You do end up working on your balance. Plus, you get into the habit of learning to turn your board by carving the edges. And there's that whole “core exercise” thing, which is very important for the belly. Skateboards are good core exercise.

This video has a most excellent crash.
