Northlanders keen on skateboarding can see the latest board next week - but it's far too big to ride and is being used to promote the upcoming Tokyo 2020 Olympic games.
The New Zealand Olympic Committee's super-sized, 12m-long, 800kg skateboard is going on the Great Olympic Skate Roadshow, which starts in Kaikohe on Monday.
Kaikohe marks the starting point for the roadshow's nationwide trip to 40 towns in 41 days, and NZOC is inviting people along to show support for the New Zealand athletes set to compete in Tokyo. Skateboarding is a new event in this year's Olympics.
The Great Olympic Skate Roadshow will be in Kaikohe on Monday from 9am and will travel to Kerikeri for Monday afternoon, the exact locations will be confirmed this week.
NZOC is calling on Kiwis to get on board and show their support for the New Zealand team as it gears up for the Tokyo Olympics, by giving a name to the giant skateboard.
