Welcome to TOES OVER

your online longboard surf & skate magazine.

We are dedicated to giving you the rundown on whats going on in the longboard world and persuading surfers that longskating is the ultimate way to surf when the surf is flat and onshore.

Tasmanian secret spot - off shore, over head height and we had it all to ourselves - what surfing is all about !

Here is the closest we get to having a letters page - Khally here's where you can write to me if you can't get email !

I have surfed and skated for the last 34 years and at the moment it's easy to keep going with a view like this from my bedroom window. If you really want to know more about my skating & surfing history go HERE.

NEWS AND GOSSIP

Nothing global to report this week. If you live in Tassie though there are a few longboard contests both surf and skate in the pipeline.

yTIP OF THE WEEK

If you are riding kapu or even exkates then try this. Put a harder bushing on the front truck. This will give a real longboard surf feel on boards over 56". Also it will really help with nose wheelies of any kind.

Ever noticed that longboarding attracts members of the female gender a lot more than shortboarding. Why well I can't answer that so it's up to you females out there to write in and tell me why !

Here's a fine example .... Rosa says she hasn't been skating long and says Toes Over has taught her style ... don't know about that looks like she already had it !
