 The best skateboard he's ever ridden January 23, 2008
I bought this for my 10 year old and he has been having a blast with it. It rides very smoothly and once he got the hang of using it he has been skating all over the neighborhood practicing new tricks. He no longer uses his 4 wheel skateboard. Definitely recommend this for anyone who likes to skateboard.

We bought the wave board for our 14 year-old for Christmas. He was thrilled! He took it to the park that afternoon and hopped on it and started riding it w/out too much effort. He can ride it pretty well now, although he comments that he needs to figure out how to make it ride faster, do stunts, etc. It does come with a DVD which he hasn't watched yet, so maybe he'll learn more from the DVD. Overall, we're pretty happy with the purchase.
More fun than a regular skateboard! January 18, 2008
My son received this for Christmas and is already proficient at it. It's really easy to learn and he does many more tricks with the Wave than with his skateboard.
We went to the site on the skateboard - www.streetsurfing.com. He found this to be a good source of tricks and exercises.
He's hoping that his buddy gets one, too, so they can perform "the leap" trick. This is a trick where you skate toward a stationary board, "leap" off your moving Wave onto it, then continue on your way. There's a video of it on the site.
As a mom, I can say that I was a little apprehensive about the safety of the Wave. However, after he got the hang of this board, he's only fallen once. He says that it's more stable than a skateboard because you have both feet on the board at all times. I'm just glad there's less of a chance for a trip to the emergency room!

My daughter wanted this for Christmas. We found that it's great for the beach. All of my children have tried it ages 8-12 and love it. Good exercise and keeps them busy. I highly recommend getting the safety gear to go with it helmet knee pads etc. Not because its dangerous, just to be safe. From what I've been told it seems to glide easier then the rip stick. Each child seemed to get it just after a few tries. It's great.

It's a LOT of fun! It looks hard to do but it's not. After a few tries, you've got it down. I like having a board that doesn't fly out from underneath me and that I don't have to peddle every 5 seconds. It's definitely worth the money!
