Manufacturer's Description
Everyone's talking about the Wave street surfer inline action board, which blends the sensations of surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding in a single fun design. The Wave--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 Wave 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 Wave. Within a few hours, most riders will become proficient.Riders needn't worry about the Wave's 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 Wave measures 35 by 9 by 5 inches (W x H x D), weighs 10 pounds, and carries a one-year warranty.

The Wave
I have two boys, 11 & 9 and a girl aged 7 - all find this fantastic and are still playing with this 6 months on.
As it has a single wheel front and back, some help in starting off is necessary to get your balance. Once you get the hang of surfing (rather than skating) - i.e. pushing the back foot back and forth and leaning into corners, it becomes easier, and you can propell yourself forward without having to take a foot off to push yourself along. By moving the feet the opposite way allows you turn in a very short space (although a little unnerving for the people standing close by!)
I paid £90 each (not via Amazon) but the quality is very good - they are all scratched and well used but still work as well as when they were new.
I can highly recommend this - although a word of warning for the 40 year olds out there ... it's hard work trying to beat your kids around the park, and demoralizing when you keep losing!
Fantastic and innovative product
I own a board very similar to this one, which is called an Exboard, but it uses exactly the same technique to make it move. It's great fun once you get the hang of it- it really works the legs and improves your balance, and on top of that, it's also enjoyable. It's good to use the board somewhere with a large, flat area which is also fairly smooth (like a sports hall) so that you can get the technique right, and get going quicker.
The only drawbacks of the product are that it's quite pricey (but worth it!) and also...you can't brake, which is a bit of a problem if you're going downhill. Otherwise, brilliant product, and well worth having a go :D
Amazing product
Bought for my 9 years old son, but i was the first to succed in street surfing, very good sensations! Now he's able to ride his board even it's a bit physical for him. After 1 training hour, all people can feel the real good movment.
The quality of the board is very much higher than the Ripstick, and the look (sketchy)is very attractive.
Have fun if you purchase this Item from SkateHut.
