Summer Fun!! Is it bad I think I’d be on this more than my kids? This looks SO fun!
Who doesn’t remember standing on swings and going in all directions? I think this swurfer swing is something not just skateboarders, snowboarders and wakeboarders will be interested in, but anybody. It’s a simple idea — its more or less just like a wooden swing, but shaped so that it can be used like a skateboard … or, I guess, hoverboard.
Now of course you have 2 options for this. A lot of people would prefer to buy it and just set it up; and a lot of people would prefer to build one DIY style. Well, of course you can do either.
Some details from the builders of these things (and note, you can buy a kit with the rope, board and everything, but you can also just buy the board itself and tie it onto whatever cordage you have on your tree already.
The Swurfer Original Outdoor Backyard Tree Swing with Unique Skateboard Seat Design and Adjustable Handles is what it’s called and it sells for around $130 for the whole set and around $30 for just the board. Here’s Amazon for it: Swurfer
“Handmade, heirloom quality wooden skateboard swing made from hard rock maple. Each board is finished by hand to ensure quality and safety for your little one.
