Fellow longboarders, I have some interesting news...

In August 2006 Dave Cornthwaite will push off from Perth, Australia and roll 5000 miles around the coastline until he reaches Brisbane. Dave will be skating on a carbon fibre Rolls Rolls longboard and this record-breaking journey, dubbed BoardFree, is in aid of three charities - The Lowe Syndrome Trust, Link Community Development and Sailability Australia – which lengthen, enrich and improve the lives of children worldwide.

If you're in doubt as to the seriousness of this expedition, don't be. In the spring of 2006 Dave will be merely 'warming up' for Australia by skating John o’Groats to Land’s End. It's going to hurt, but it'll hurt a lot more if no one donates anything!

If you think this sounds cool then why not donate a few quid at www.justgiving.com/boardfree or buy a charity wristband or t-shirt?

The BoardFree website will tell you all you want to know about this crazy venture so why not take a look at www.boardfree.co.uk

It'd be great to hear what you all think of this longboarding mission so feel free to make any comments!

Longboarding is smelly.

That guys crazy. Longboards rock though.

Good luck to him.

will he be coming througth the central coast?

Full props to the guy.

Good luck. If I had money to donate, rest assured it would be going to yourselves.

Surfgrommit,
Dave will be staying on a mostly coastal route and the only times he'll be off the coast are The Nullarbor and
Canberra... check out www.boardfree.co.uk for a full route plan. Once you get onto the home page click on 'Route' on the left hand side of the page.
Go join him!
