Landlocked Skateboarders Mimic Tubular Waves With Tarps
Chelsea MacMillan — July 23, 2010 — Pop Culture
Tarp surfing is the latest skateboarding craze. First created in the early 90's, this totally tubular videographical trend has returned with a huge following. A large blue tarp is placed on the ground; one member skateboards across it while the other pulls the corner over the skateboarder.
Tarp surfing creates the illusion that the skateboarder is on water, imitating surfing. Film it, add a clever soundtrack, and you've got yourself a stellar skate video.
