[UKPRwire, Wed May 14 2008] South West based, Extreme Sports Zone are launching the revolutionary surf and skate attraction, The Brush Ramp at Crealy Great Adventure Parks in Devon and Cornwall.

The Brush Ramp, launching at Devon's Crealy on Tuesday 27th May and Cornwall's Crealy on Thursday 29th May, combines surfing and snowboarding whilst on dry land.

The Brush Ramp, which has been endorsed by The British Surf Association, has grabbed the attention of Pro Surfers and organisers of Rip Curl Boardmasters 2008, alike.

Angela Wright, MBE, Managing Director of Crealy Great Adventure Parks said, “We are delighted to host the launch of this exciting new attraction which will be loved by our guests of all ages! Combining action, adventure and fun for all the family, Crealy is the perfect venue for The Brush Ramp and I am sure our guests will be looking forward to trying it out!”

The Brush Ramp is the size of a quarter-pipe skateboarding ramp with a moving surface of soft brushes that push the rider upward. The rider is taken up the ramp by putting an edge of their board into the brushes, and skims downward when the edge is taken out.

Kyle Dent of Extreme Sports Zone said, “Everyone dreams of doing sports like surfing and snowboarding. Time and the cost of getting on location, are two major factors in the way of these boarding experiences. Brush Boarding ™ is a combination of surfing and snowboarding without needing to get wet.

“Pro-surfers like Ben “SkinDog” Skinner and John Hibbard, tried Brush Boarding and loved it! Our trials of The Brush Board left everyone smiling and asking for more and that included riders aged from 2 years old to 66 years old! That is why Crealy Great Adventure Parks, in Devon and Cornwall are the perfect venues to launch The Brush Ramp before our tour of major cities and of course, beaches across the South West over the summer.”

Extreme Sports Zone are launching Brush Boarding and The Brush Ramp after three years of research and product development by inventor Kyle Dent, who grew up surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding in Australia, now living in Topsham, near Exeter.

Kyle Dent continues, “Brush Boarding is to Surfing and Snowboarding, what indoor rock climbing is to outdoor rock climbing. It complements the sports, teaching skills and helping develop core strength that all board sports require.

“Different boards allow riders to have different experiences. Surfers like longer boards to simulate carving on a wave, whereas skaters like short boards so they can do tricks. Snowboaders like medium sized boards with footstraps that enable them to perform more twist styled tricks. Brush Boarding is for all ages and abilities and like surfing and snowboarding it is really addictive – riders just want to stay on for longer and longer!”

The Brush Boarding Summer tour begins on May 27th at Devon’s Crealy. The tour covers many cities across the UK, with the highlight being the Rip Curl Boardmasters in Newquay, Cornwall, in August 2008.
