BoardFree | Long distance skateboard journeys for charity.
|
In the spring of 2005 Dave Cornthwaite woke up and realised enough was enough. Twenty five years old, stuck in a nine to five with the horrible feeling that life was just one long, straight, endless road. It was time for a change. Dave realised the only thing he looked forward to was the skate in and out of work, so there and then he decided to go on a journey on his board. He had only been skating for two weeks but coupling his oldest passion, travel, with his newest, longboarding, seemed like the most natural thing in the world. As the days went on the plan came together. Eventually one journey turned into two, the first was a 900 mile/ 1450km length of Britain skate from John o’Groats to Land’s End in May 2006, which was intended to be a warm-up for a much bigger push later that year. The second journey was a huge ask, a 4000 mile/ 6300km across Australia from Perth to Brisbane. If successful this Australian journey would become the farthest distance anyone had travelled on any form of skateboard, ever. |

Big Stick Session
New skateboard
A new skateboard made with 3 layers of 4mm plywood. Going to test the results next WE.
The board is ultra light.
Cold Molding: Adding Layers
If your piece is too thin, just add some layers of wood to it.
Daggerboards
Some daggerboards we made for an old ship. Look at the size:
Stairs
A collegue is making stairs for a restaurant. This just reminds me of the stairs my best friend made using steel and wood.
Boat sale in Aolst (Belgium)
Sometimes I hate the internet. Last WE my girlfriend found out on an event website (wattedoen.be) that there was a second hand boat sale. We decided to go and check it out. There where exactly three boats for sale, and only one on the site. There are too many event website where evrybody can post his gardenparty as an event. Call this wathever you want, to me it just was a waste of gas.
Me and my cat
Just thought I wanted to post pictures of my cat …
