Shout out to all the Side Street Surfers who take over the streets with us in Toronto each week. The group is growing and so is the stoke.

The session is open to all riders in Toronto of all levels, the route changes each week as we cater to the ride ability of the collective group.

See you Wednesday at 7 - 74 Oxford

Hey Apathy! Sign and New LL Rider

If you have passed by or stopped into the Gallery at 74 Oxford, chances are you have seen the ongoing design changes to the front of the building. While in need of a solid sign we reached out to collaborative partner and friend Mike Parsons / Hey Apathy! to apply his signature style and it looks great. Thanks Mike.


 

It was also good to have Terron Wood, a friend of Longboard Living in from New York and he decided to pick up a custom painted deck...when in rome. We set him up with the last painted board from the Jimmy Chiale 2010 collection, Adam Colton Paris 180 Trucks and Bennett Aligator wheels.

 


Thanks Mike and Terron for stopping by!

Longboarding

If you are not riding or carrying a longboard, I'll ask you if you forgot it at home.
If you say you don't have one, i'll say yet.

It's something you should have with you when you leave in the morning, prepared for unexpected dashes down the block or the 15 minute break you can cruise through the park before going back to work or class. Its the moments inbetween work and play that longboarding connects. You can catch a wave when the light turns red and just go, both lanes, just cruising.

After a busy week and a successful Black Forest Cake show with WAXHEAD on Friday, some of the Longboard Living family locked down a few laps at the park before carrying on with the evening. Here are some photos of BOZ, Flavia and Ryan.

The Blue Banana Market

The Blue Banana Market in Kensington Market is now carrying Longboard Living boards from our custom collection. If you have not been to the BBM it could be considered a Bloomingdales for Canadian artists and all funky unique products.

Longboard Living is making a large effort to reach out to other independent shops around Toronto in an effort to expand and get more boards out to more people.

Custom Longboard - Guru Tribute

Gunnar made a visit to the shop 1 week ago with a shortboard, clearly looking for something more. He had speed, carve, cruise and slide in mind. After browsing the selection of painted decks and blanks we decided on a blank Ambitious Boards drop deck that is locally built in Toronto. He already had an idea for a custom deck in mind - something to remember the life of hip hop artists Guru who recently passed away. The deck art was done by Amelia - a fromer member of Funktion Gallery - and includeds the Gangstarr logo, Gurus birth and death dates as well as the quotes: "Above the clouds, above the crowds". The deck was set up with a new brand of trucks called Sabre available at 74 Oxford and Orangatang 4President wheels. A great set up for a first longboard that will allow Downhill and Freeriding.

Enjoy the new set-up Gunnar.
