I have to admit to having almost never ridden a skateboard, certainly

If you ever surfed or skied, yeah, it's a piece of cake.

I've done quite a bit of both, and I don't think it's a piece of cake.


Same here. I was a decent skiier and surfer as a teenager, but found
skateboarding awkward. And mistakes hurt more.

But I have taken up surfing again this summer after a 35 year break.

Don't tempt me. We have a hurricane coming in two or three days. I used to
*love* hurricanes. g
