Normal boards shouldn't be ridden in the rain anyways. The trucks and bearings will rust, rendering your board into a piece of wood.
Which is unfortunate, since I live in Oregon, and I used to cruise my Miniglider everywhere. When it rained, I had to resort to walking.
- Gracana 12y agoYour trucks are probably aluminum and will be fine, and you can run sealed bearings. Riding in the wet really isn't such a big deal. The biggest problem is spray off of the wheels.
- jonesetc 12y agoThe board damage (if made of wood) is unavoidable though.
- jamesaguilar 12y agoYou can seal the wood with some kind of lacquer, though, right?
- marvin 12y agoThis is too bad, because I live in Bergen, Norway, where according to statistics 65% of all days have rain. So I'd have to resort to walking two thirds of the year => No longboard for me, electric or otherwise.
