The Wave Original Street Surfing Board Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Until we get anti-gravity, this will have to do.

When I first saw this board, I didn't believe it could be rideable.Only two wheels instead of four, and they're on swivels.And the board is split in the middle, and pivots around a rod?I rounded up the owner, my 7-year old nephew Taigen."Show me." I demanded.When he did, it was like I was watching a magic trick.

So I studied it awhile, and took one ride while supported by a helpful shoulder.Then I kicked off by myself.As soon as you pivot once, and feel the board actually propelling you, you "get it."I was hooked.

Never have I seen a recreational toy where the disparity between perceived and actual difficulty was so great. If you kick off hoping for the reassuring support of four wheels, you're not going to make it.If, however, you kick off, and believe you're surfing/snowboarding/whatever, you will do fine.It's faith-based boarding! It's all about active balance.

I showed it to a friend.When he saw the swiveling casters, he said, "That's death-on-wheels!"I give him the prep-talk ("balance")Three kicks later, he's going around the parking lot.

The smoother the movements (swivel those hips!) the better.It's like riding a wave a couple of inches off the concrete.
