20-Foot Skateboard May Be the Biggest on Record
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
When surfer Rhyn Noll takes to the street, he takes up a lot of street. That’s because Noll has built what may be the longest skateboard on record.
The 20-foot-long monster is being considered for inclusion in the Guinness Book of World Records.
The obvious question: Dude, why’d you do it?
“Just for the heck of it,” Noll said.
Official judges, including Mayor Herb Kolodner, measured every aspect of the board, even the amount of flex when the 200-pound Noll stood on the unsupported middle. The panel will submit its findings to Guinness.
Noll made two runs, and was clocked at 30 mph by a friend following on a motorcycle.
