What is a RollerSurfer Board?
RollerSurfer Specifications
The ultimate new sport! Two wheel system allows for quick, smooth 360 degree turns. This board combines the excitement of snowboarding, skateboarding, and surfing all in one. It is propelled by the subtle movement of the rider's body, with a unique two-wheel design that allows for amazingly sharp turns, including frontside and backside 360s. The rider never has to touch the ground because the board is equipped with flexible front rear panels - controlled by a spring-oriented torsion bar - on top of wheels that rotate 360 degrees.

The board has only two wheels, one front and one rear, and each wheel is mounted with castor arrangement angled towards the tail. The unusual deck profile is due to the front and rear section being joined with a torsion type arrangement down the middle. This allows the two sections to be tilted side to side independently of each other and giving a variable turn (steer) rate between front and rear wheels.
What is it made of?
The RollerSurfer board is made of ABS. What is ABS you ask? Well, let me tell you! ABS is an acronym for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. Its a strong, lightweight and high impact plastic. It's the perfect material to allow the Rollersurfer to not only sturday and long-lasting, but to allow for a lightweight board that will let you perform all of the tricks that can only be accomplished with a lightweight, freewheeling board.
The wheels are ABEC 5-bearing casters that offer an optimal balance of strength, stability and functionality. Wait a minute..., what does ABEC stand for you ask? Well, ABEC is an acronym for Annular Bearing Engineering Committee of the AFBMA (Anti-Friction Bearing Manufacturers Association Inc). The ABEC grades of bearings are a set of standards for the manufacturing tolerances of bearings. The higher the ABEC number, the more time the balls in the bearing have spent in the machine, and the more they are supposed to be truly spherical.
What are the specifications?
RollerSurfer Specifications * Board Weight with Casters: 9.2 lbs * Width: 10", Length: 33", Height: 5" * Maximum Rider Weight Capacity: 210 lbs * Available Colors: Yellow, Blue, Silver, Red & Black (Black in non-stocking item)
How Do I ride a RollerSurfer?
Place board on a very slight downward slope. Place your leading foot in the center of the front platform of the board and position the board so that it is level with the ground. Give a push with your back foot and place that foot in the center of the back platform. Immediately after pushing off, start twisting at your hips. The motion will allow your feet to apply pressure to the board in opposite directions. Once you have the board moving, try using only your back foot to create a snake-like back and forth motion or try moving both feet back and forth in the same direction at the same time, just move like your surfing on water, now you are RollerSurfing!!!

USERS GUIDANCE - As a beginner, its workable to lean on the wall or depend on the help from others to learn how to get balance. AND Always wear a helmet and other safety gear such as kneepads, elbow pads and wrist guards.
Do I need to take care of it?
RollerSurfer parts should be checked and maintained regularly ensure its best performance. Rotating your wheels will allow them to wear at a more even pace and create a smooth and long lasting life for the wheels. Do not wait until your wheels are extremely worn. RollerSurfer wheels and parts can be replaced or tightened if needed using an Allen wrench (included with the board).
