Longboarding the Wetlands Loop Trail
Some people hit the jackpot on the strip in Las Vegas but we hit the jackpot by finding a lot of fun things to do off the strip in the Las Vegas area!

Testing the Waterborne Skateboards Surf Adapter

We've seen pictures and videos of this thing on Instagram and we had to try it out. It caught my eye when I saw the animation video of how it worked, then I saw the videos and images of people carving hard with the Surf Adapter.
