Can anyone please explain to me the resurgence of weird little hipsters in tight jean cut offs riding old school short boards in the banana board style? Who made these popular again? No good for cruising - god knows long boards are pretty useless as you can't get up a curb - but you can at least get pretty gnarley bombing some hills. what is the point of a short board that's not good for speed or tricks?
Kids these days... I don't know.
