Mahanu🚧 Draft — not final. This page was auto-generated as day-one scaffolding for the project and still needs a human pass before it reads as finished. The blanks and placeholders below are intentional — someone who runs this project should fill them in and delete this notice.
Gear & progress
Gear before wheels, grass before pavement, falls logged as curriculum. This is the day-one doc: the protection checklist that comes first, and the progression that earns its way onto harder ground.
Gear check (before the board leaves the house)
- Helmet — fitted, snug, worn every single time. Non-negotiable.
- Wrist guards — the wrist is the first thing down and the first thing broken
- Knee pads (and elbow pads to start)
- Board checked — wheels, trucks, deck sound
Progression (earn the next surface)
| Stage | Surface | Board | Done when |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Balance | grass / carpet | either | stand and shift weight without a wobble |
| 2 · Roll | grass edge → flat pavement | waveboard first | a few metres, controlled, feet placed right |
| 3 · Steer | flat pavement | waveboard | turn both directions on purpose |
| 4 · Skateboard | flat pavement | skateboard | push, roll, and step off safely |
Waveboard first — the how-to-ride videos are already watched; the skateboard waits its turn.
Falls log (the real curriculum)
| Date | What happened | What it taught |
|---|---|---|
| e.g. "leaned back on the push — weight goes forward" |
