Avril Lavigne skateboards in her garage

The `Sk8er Boi` hitmaker is so busy with her career she barely has time to go out and show off her skills, so instead she has cleared a space in her home to enjoy her hobby.

She admitted: "I sometimes skateboard at my house. This might sound really strange and bizarre, but I skateboard in my garage."

While Avril has little time to skateboard, the 26-year-old singer has recently taken up surfing, which she enjoys because of the similarities to her other hobby.

She said: "I`ve started surfboarding a little bit. Surfboarding is like skateboarding, only there`s a longer board."

Though the pop star enjoys daredevil hobbies, she insists she is "well behaved" and her pre-performance preparations are quite boring.

Speaking at a fan Q&A event at the Apollo West End cinema in London, she told BANG Showbiz: "Before a show I like to do yoga, I`m very well behaved, and I like to drink tea."

The blonde star has been interacting with her fans via twitter recently, however, she admits she is still unsure how the micro-blogging website works.

She said: "I don`t know how to reply when someone twitters me, I`m still just figuring it out. And did I really spell Justin Bieber`s name wrong on twitter at first, and then I changed it? Still trying to figure that out too."
