  14. Youngest Hardbooter in America!

    I figured I would give you all an update on Kubo since we've had some recent responses to the old post. Yes, Kubo is now 9 and he is still carving up a storm. I put together a short video clip of this past season for anyone who wants to see how much he's improved. It's really quite something to see.

    I hope you enjoy watching him as much as we do:-)

    We have to start thinking out of the box if we want to grow this sport.

    We are so bummed this Magazine hasn't been able to get off the ground yet. We've got kids (I'm talkin' 8, 9, 10, 11 yr. olds) on hardboots. And what snowboarding magazines/resources are out there for them? There are kids out there who choose hardbooting. There are more and more posts from people looking for gear for the younger set. This is a good sign.

    What are the chances of getting one of our guys on the Wheaties box? LOL!

    I would say its probably the second

    My son Kubo (now 9) is "all about alpine."

    When we asked the president of USASA (the only place to race at his age) about the future of alpine, we were told that the future of alpine is boardercross! SAY IT ISN'T SO!

    How tall is he? weight? years boarding? skill level? etc.

    I'm pretty sure he would do fine on a 158 with a small sidecut around 8 or 9 meters.

    He is only 46" tall and 46 lbs. He's been riding since he could walk, but he started racing last year (at age 6). This year he took the bronze in the giant slalom at the USASA Nationals - Ruggie division. His current board is only a 105 though so I think a 158 would be a stretch. ;)

    We are looking for new gear for him for next season. I'll let you know what we find!

    Thanks!

    .. so difficulty will be that your readers will be from 35-55, when in surfing its 25-90...much wider base..and much more popular sport..

    I beg to differ. There are a growing number of young hardbooters out there that I think many people are unaware of. My son, Kubo, is 7 years old. Yes, 7. He was recently cited as the "youngest" hardbooter in America at the USASA Nationals. The oldest hardbooter, BTW, was 74. :biggthump

    I think a publication like this is something our young hardbooters could really use, as information, and gear in particular, is especially hard for them to find! Trust me, we've been searching for gear for Kubo all season long!
