 Wave skateboard review November 23, 2006

I found the Wave to be in intimidating at first especially when I mistakenly tried to ride it with the back facing front. Going down a very slight grade really helps too. Follow the instructional DVD.
Once you get the hang of moving your hips to make it go, it quickly becomes addictive and so much fun.
It is an excellent way to improve balance skills and it provides a strenuous workout. I feel it's a lot safer than conventional skateboarding since it doesn't squirt out from under you and dump you as easily as a regular skateboard. I'm a 64 year old geezer in fairly good shape and using the Wave is a great addition to my retired routine.

I admit it, I NEVER have used a skateboard. I was skeptical on purchasing this board, but I am glad I did. I was able to learn to "surf" it within 10 minutes. I love it! It is just like real surfing, but the wave never ends! I love that I never have to put my foot on the ground! Just requires good balance and a lot of foot strength!
Be sure to wear a helmet for safety!
 Great fun - eats wheels July 9, 2006

The Wave 'street surfer' is fun to ride and easy to master. Everyone I run into with it is amazed because when you look at it with its two inline skate wheels it doesn't seem it should work. But it does and with the twist of your hips or the tipping of your feet you can move and steer easily.
The only problem with it is the longevity of the wheels. I'd have to guess that it's because it uses wheels designed for inline skates. Inline skates have 4 wheels per skate, 8 wheels per person. This has 2 wheels and the full weight of a person atop them. Despite the Wave's website claiming that their wheels are 'specially designed' I've found that they last no longer than run-of-the-mill roller blade wheels. The rear wheel flattens in no time. "Cheap" wheels are $10 a pair and at the rate this thing eats them it begins to add up quickly. If they can come up with a harder wheel they'll have a winner.

 The fun hippy alternative to a Skateboard May 5, 2006

My girlfriends "hippy" step-dad came home with one of these puppies one day and at first glance I thought it was some gimmick alternative to what a real skateboard should be. First let me say that boy was I wrong. I'm a 245 pound guy and I can ride this thing smooth after about only a couple hours of practice and there's a few reasons why I really love this toy. First of all, it can be quite intimidating once you get over the "hope I don't break my ankles bit" but soon after you get moving you are riding such a smooth piece of engineering. The wave does at times feel like you are surfing or gliding over the cement. And once you have your balance and momentum right on it requires very little effort on your part to stay up and keep it moving.
The second reason I like this is because you can ride it aggressively and actually put your whole body into propelling this thing. It's a hip-rotation movement that makes this board move forward but if you want to go faster not only are you putting your hips and legs into it but you are also using your arms and shoulders. This full body workout keeps your heartrate up and really tires your whole body out which is a GREAT reason to ride this toy.
I haven't quite figured out everything to riding this board but if you are looking for a new spin on skateboarding and would like to be a little adventurous then try one of these things out and then go and buy one.
Have fun and good luck!
