anybody on here ever used one or own one? they're crazy. two of my good friends introduced me to it and its so much fun. exactly like surfing
here's a video by a surfing company doing a review and comparing it to a surf board. I would highly recommend buying one, or getting some of the carver trucks. https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/755714/Monsta-Carver-------the-ultimate-surfing-crosstrainer

It's different than a ripstick.

I've ridden them a few times, and several times in a bowl. It is actually somewhat like surfing in terms of how the front of the board seems to slide side to side over the trucks. I felt like you really need to dial the trucks in to make it feel proper/not kill yourself going fast around a bowl. They are fun, but I wouldn't replace my normal skateboard with it.

This is already how I try to ride my normal cruisers/skateboards (sans pumping to move, I usually push...) I want one of these so fucking bad now, sidewalk surfing is one of my favorite things to do
