I have skated for about 2 years and during my time as a skater many people have asked me; “is skateboarding a sport or a hobby?” I have never been able to come up with a clear answer, but this is what I think…
Skateboarding originated from surfing so to, ask this question to skateboarding you must first ask about surfing. Most surfers would answer; “I do it as a hobby” but of course surfing has a large sporting industry. Most people who skate they start skating because they saw someone else skate and they started, then they learn a couple of tricks, then they watch a couple youtube vids, then they get really hooked on it and eventually becomes (their) sport. I started off doing it as a hobby, but now mostly i use it as transport so im considering getting a longboard.
So in the end i say skateboarding is both its even a form of transport skateboarding is great execercise and fun.
