Instead of flying around the world, chasing ideal conditions, Adrenalists can simulate the waves they’re looking for and hit the brushes in order to stay on their game.

On top of that, brushboarding can provide a supplemental workout to help build core strength and fitness. New opportunities to brushboard are burgeoning, spreading from roots in the U.K. It may be tempting for some to brush off brushboarding as a toy or a fad, but remember that many people have done extraordinary things with other up and coming sports.
