It’s true. You don’t need a Kahuna Bigstick to ride a longboard. You also don’t need a trampoline to learn to jump, or shoes to learn to walk!

The Kahuna Bigstick gives an extra point of contact on the ground and also adds an extra element of fun. The fact that you don’t have to balance on one foot and push the board adds stability and it also gets people cruising around in no time at all.

Today I worked with 50 great kids, a few were hesitant at first but we all know that smiles don’t lie, and the smiles were huge!

Having taught regularly at their school, it was a bit weird hearing ‘Miss Rachael’ when they wanted some help, but it was great fun answering their questions about how come I have so many longboards and why I run a business!

A huge thanks to the parents who allowed me to take some photos, we had a great day.

We’ve come up with Friday Fun Day, although I’m not sure I could bring the boards to school on a normal school day, even if it would be fun!
