Longboard

Perth to Brisbane, Australia
August 20th 2006 - January 22nd 2007
Distance: 3638 miles
 
Dave's 3618 mile journey from Perth to Brisbane became the longest skateboard journey in history. By the time he'd finished, it was only 22 months since he'd first stepped onto a skateboard. Dave and his rollsrolls carbon kevlar longboard, Elsa, crossed both the UK and Australia.

Thanks to a project website populated daily with images, diaries and video, the BoardFree Australia journey helped open the floodgates for countless long distance skating efforts which continue to take a simple, beautiful sport beyond new boundaries.

BoardFree still underlines the principle objectives that it has always been based upon; inspiring ordinary people to achieve extraordinary things, with those very efforts benefitting worthwhile organisations. The successes of numerous BoardFree journeys to date have now joined forces with Dave's book, BoardFree, to inspire and encourage endless people to make a difference in their own lives, and those of others.

People are now skating, walking, rowing and cycling around the world with a little help from BoardFree, and although we continue to support anyone wishing to skate long distances, BoardFree has joined forces with DreamChase to be a consultancy for charity travel journeys whatever the mode of transport.
