Surf On Land with Tarp Surfing
If you’re a skateboarder looking for a new thing to try, or a longboard surfer looking to do something fun in the absence of ocean waves, tarp surfing is the game for you. It lets you enjoy the feeling of riding the tube—a longboard surfing feature—with your skateboard, a helper and some weights.
Tarp surfing gives young kids as well as seasoned professionals opportunity to skate in a unique way. It brings together elements of both skateboarding and surfing into a simulation of a barrel wave which a skateboarder rides instead of a surfer. By combining the two sports, tarp surfing also provides an opportunity to players of both sports to enjoy the game.
The setup is simple. Find a wide area to place the blue tarp, then weight down two opposite corners of the tarp. Stand near one of the two corners facing the top corner and ask your buddy to raise the tarp with arm extending overhead. As your partner runs towards the opposite corner, jump on your skates and get barreled. Remember to leave 5 to 10 feet of space on the sides for safety.
It has only been a few months when the first tarp surfing video was uploaded by the Bradys and Dodge Weirath, but in this relatively short span of time, the game has progressed leaps and bounds and now you can easily find several tarp surf videos online, uploaded by tarp surf enthusiasts from all over the world.
Naturally, along with the fun, tarp surfing has a competitive side to it as well. You are faced with the challenge of balancing yourself and riding the wave cleanly. When competing, trying some trick while getting barreled can help you get ahead of the competition. A tarp surfing contest was recently held by Island Water Boards in front of their store in Deerfield, South Florida. More contests like these can help the game go to the next level.
