Description:
The Ultimate New Sport : STREET SURFING? a combination of Snowboarding, Skateboarding, and Surfing!
Born from the skate and surf mecca of Laguna Beach and melding the motions of surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding, Street Surfing, LLC is introducing a first-of-its-kind board called The Wave?, blending the anatomy of all three action sports in one distinctive ride - Street Surfing?.

Specifications:

The Wave board's unique features and benefits include: A two-wheel, 360 degree rotating design, allowing the rider to propel the board forward without touching the ground. Foot platforms attached to a torsion bar, give the rider the ability to tilt for sharp turns, execute precision moves and perform front side and backside 360's. Street Surfers can carve downhill like a snowboarder or rocket uphill, all by slightly bending the knees and twisting at the hips. This body action stimulates the board to move in an "S"-shaped motion that is responsible for continuously propelling The Wave board forward. With more than 22 million people across the country who actively participate in surfing, skateboarding or snowboarding (according to American Sports Data), The Wave board fills a year-round craving for those who engage in these action sports on a seasonal level due to geographic challenges.

Amazon.com Product Description
Everyone's talking about the Wave street surfer inline action board, which blends the sensations of surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding in a single fun design. The Wave--which runs on two wheels rather than four--gives you the ability to perform precision 360s in small spaces, carve downhill, and even ride uphill, making it a blast for riders of all ages. And, of course, riders can perform all manner of skating tricks, including manuals, board leaps, ollies, acid drops, kick flips, and more. The Wave is distinguished by a spring-oriented torsion bar that controls the flexible front and rear panels, along with a pair of fully rotating 360-degree wheels with ABEC-5 bearings. Once on the board, the rider merely twists his or her hips back and forth in an S-shaped motion to propel down the street, with no foot propulsion required. Even better, it takes only a few minutes to learn how to ride the Wave. Within a few hours, most riders will become proficient.

Riders needn't worry about the Wave's durability, as the platforms are made of a virtually indestructible ABS plastic, while the steel torsion bar never wears down. In addition, the 77mm wheels were selected based on a tenuous balance of durability and traction. The Wave measures 35 by 9 by 5 inches (W x H x D), weighs 10 pounds, and carries a one-year warranty.

About The Wave
The Wave is the original Street Surfing board and the hottest inline action board. The Wave appeals to everyone, thanks to its innovative technology that combines the natural fluidity of surfing with the smooth maneuverability of snowboarding and skating into one new extreme board sport known as Street Surfing.

The Wave is an inline action board with two wheels that rotate 360 degrees, giving the rider the feeling and flexibility that is normally reserved for surfers and snowboarders. The Wave is also becoming popular with skaters who like the board's ability to do tricks, sharp turns, 360s, and the fact that the rider s feet never touch the ground. The board is propelled using core movements of the body, making for an excellent workout on top of being just plain fun. Learning to ride The Wave is easy and it doesn't require any prior skating, surfing, or snowboarding skills. It only takes about 15 minutes to become proficient.

Street Surfing on The Wave offers the rush that riders get from surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding yet it is easy to do right in your own driveway. The Wave is so much fun that most riders don't even realize that Street Surfing is great exercise. The Wave works the core muscles and helps to build strength and improve balance. Not only is The Wave great exercise and easy to learn, it is also affordable and portable as you can take The Wave board just about anywhere.

5 out of 5 stars Great gift!   June 27, 2008
I purchased this as a gift for my 12 year old sister and 16 year old brother. both are into skating and love it. it is a bit difficult to ride at first but they both picked it up in an afternoon. It is a great cross between skating and snowboarding.


3 out of 5 stars Wear serious helmet and pads.. teen and older only!   June 9, 2008

We bought this as a gift for our ten year old grandson. Not a good choice. In fact, watching all of his uncles, who are 21 to 30 years old, and skaters of varying expertise, mostly fail with bloodied hands etc.. i'd say this board is for athletic teens. With just
2 wheels for balance, while at the same time moving the board using a whole new concept (you never kick' the ground
as with skateboard) and balance opposite from the instincts of a skater...Only the uncle who actually watched the video (very important) was able to sorta have fun, ...
Granted this was a side street with some gravel to make it interesting, but there were serious spills that day!
We found out later that another nephew actually broke his arm on his tenth birthday with the Wave.. so i am
glad that our birthday boy was unable to even try the board.
Now, i'm thinking someday, under the right street conditions, and certainly after watching the video... his father will ride the board. It Looks" fun on the video!! I know our 23+ year old boys won't give up .. they like a challenge. But be prepared for a learning curve and wear pads! Certainly Not for a novice.
Completely different from a skate board.

5 out of 5 stars The Wave Street Surfing Board   May 18, 2008
My son really likes his street surf board. He rides it a mile to and from school. All of his friends play with it and it seams to be holding up quite well. We did some reaseach and saved money buying 'The Wave' on line. We saved money with tax and free shipping and he got the board he wanted.


5 out of 5 stars JUST LIKE SNOWBOARDING   April 24, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

The board is very neat and fun. I am 36yr old female and it took me about one hour to get very good at it. I tried snowboarding once and yes i would say it was like snowboarding but can't speak for surfing or skateboarding. But with the Wave board i doubt someone can go down a steep mountaing like they can with a snowboard. My wheels are doing good after many weeks of use but don't wanna pay $20 for a pair of wheels. You can get an 8pack of wheels for $26 at Dickssporting goods. Also, it is excellent exercise for your legs. When you are first learning though for the first 30 minutes it doesnt seem like it, because you keep forgetting that it is selfpropelled and whenever you come to an incline you just STOP. But once you realize you have to keep moving and twisting it is very good exercise.
