Rawk - The Wave Street Surfer

If you've seen anyone use a Wave Board then you'll know it's one of the coolest things around today! 'The Wave' street surfing wave boards bring the carving thrill of surfing and snowboarding to dry land. All you do is twist and go. The awesome flexing motion make the Wave Board the ultimate in carving machines on two wheels. So lay down some turns, carve the bowls, or even do grinds, you can even go uphill! One serious fun new ride!

A waveboard or wave board is similar to a skateboard, but built on a riding system called a caster board. The board rides on two independently pivoting platforms, each with a one-wheel caster. Thus, each wheel is able to rotate a full 360°. The platforms are connected by a torsion bar that allows them to pivot about the X-axis.

Hailed as the original design for the in-line action board, the Wave is manufactured by the company Street Surfing. The Wave also features inter-changeable deck plates as well as an assortment of wheel colours for customization.

Movement

Riding a waveboard is also known as street surfing or J-Boarding in other countries. It can be distinguished from most other boards by its method of propulsion, the rider swivels his back foot forwards and backwards, or moves the whole board in a transverse wave motion or an 'S' motion. This form of propulsion allows the user to move uphill as well as downhill without taking their foot off the board, as one must on a skateboard. Street Surfing was the first company to make wave boards.

Rawk include a FREE DVD with every "The Wave" board to show you exactly how to Street Surf.

Designs

Other specialty designs that stem from The Wave include The Wave LX (light Xtreme),Stealth and Ripple boards. The Wave LX is the newest addition to the Street Surfing family. It features a completely new design that is light weight and has bigger paddles. Also it makes tighter turns. The Ripple is designed for the smaller riders where as the Stealth features a stronger hardware and a grip tape deck insert.

TV/Media

The Wave has made multiple television and movie appearances from international pop culture movies such as Hannah Montana: the Movie to smaller cult-classics such as the 'Rob and Big' television show, which stars professional skateboarder Rob Dyrdek. It was also awarded the 2008 “Seal of Excellence” as well as “Kids Product of the Year” from Creative Child Magazine.
