Street Surfing

Street Surfing is what they call it. It's based on a new skateboard-like technology - a skateboard on two wheels, that flexes in the middle. They like to think of it as a "combination of skateboarding, snowboarding and surfing." Key to all this is a skateboard-like thing called "The Wave." They explain:

"The Wave has front and rear flexible panels that are controlled by a spring-oriented torsion bar. It has only 2 wheels, which are both free to rotate 360 degrees. The Wave is self-propelled by twisting your hips and shoulders back and forth in an S-shape motion."

Yeah. Self-propelled. Which means, like dude, you never have to take your feet off the board! Like never! Even when you're going up hill. A kid (maybe 11) who had just bought one ($129.95 retail) glowingly explained: "I can't even skateboard. But I can do this. And I love it!"

You should most definitely see the videos of The Wave in action. There's a lot of opportunity for exercise, skill and grace. And if you use the Promotional Code 998 you can get a $30 discount, even. No, I don't get any money from this. But I do get more than a modicum of joy knowing that someone has come up with yet another invitation to play.
