Wave Board Ripstik Street Surf

Everyone's talking about the Ripstik Landsurf Wave board, which blends the sensations of surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding in a single fun design. The board--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 Ripstik board 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 Ripstik Landsurf board. Within a few hours, most riders will become proficient.

Riders needn't worry about the Landsurf boards 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 Ripstik board measures 35 by 9 by 5 inches (W x H x D), weighs 10 pounds, and carries a one-year warranty.
