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.

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.

Not since the first time I climbed on a large British parallel twin motorcycle have I had the same feeling of freedom and grace that I have experienced on this board. But let me back up -- I bought this as a present for my lady friend's son. It turned out to be a little more than he could manage; many kids under 15 are going to get discouraged if they aren't used to falling a few times and getting back up on their feet. To show him it wasn't so hard, I got on it, and fell in love. It was hard to turn around (once I'd gotten the hang), get off it, and try to give him a turn.
There is something innate in the handling and the wave-like motion. You don't skate like on a skateboard--you hula dance your way around town. Once I got on it I never wanted to stop--I wanted to just surf down the sidewalk, away from the house, from the kid, from everything. It reminds you what is great about being a kid--not just that you don't hurt so bad when you fall, but that it is just so much easier to zip off down the street leaving everyone else behind. [41]

First, let me start with one little fact. Once you ride this, you'll never ride any other (wheeled) board but this again. I had a skateboard once, and while getting on, the board shot out under me and I landed flat on my back. Sound familiar?
I got this board when I saw some friends riding it, and they let me take a shot. I wanted this thing after one try? Yeah, I know. Anyway...
Starting off, riding it isn't actually difficult. You just push off with your front foot, get your other foot on, and starting "waving"(notice the quotes? NO hands neccesary).
Self-Propulsion At the beginning it's going to seem frustrating and hard (and you'll be getting plenty of stares, I assure you), but afer I few tries, you'll start getting the hang of it, and be going above walking speeds uphill. Only problem with the board is that it's nearly impossible to stop if you're going downhill. Even if youu jump off, momentum's gonna grab ya. Belive me, I know.
Turning: One of the best parts off the board is how it carves, and you do it all just by leaning(your feet, I don't think you want to meet the concrete, no?). Moderation, though. Turn to fast, and you're putting a lot of friction on your wheels.
Wheels: There have been many complaints about them, but I've probably been riding some 10-15 hours and besides the loss of the slick shiny covers, they're fine.
Conclusion: If you're going to get it, you ought to have dcent balance, control over your body(don't want to rushing into the traffic because you can't turn), good reflexes, and that's about it. It's a great board that you'll use again and again. I'm making it sound like a movie. I gave it five stars, and that speaks for itself.
