What is a waveboard and how does it work?

A waveboard is a two-piece board connected via a torsion bar. You move forward by moving your hips and legs - similar to surfing or snowboarding. You don't need to push off with your foot. The 360° rotating wheels enable sharp turns and carves.

What makes the Wave Rider different from other waveboards?

The Wave Rider is the first waveboard with a 7-ply maple wood deck. This gives more pop, better control and a more direct feel than plastic waveboards. The aluminium parts and ABEC 6 bearings make it extra durable and smooth.

From what age can you waveboard?

Waveboarding can be done from about 7-8 years, depending on the child's balance and coordination. The Wave Rider with its 84 cm deck is suitable for both older children and adults. Protection (helmet + knee/elbow) is recommended, especially for beginners.

Is waveboarding hard to learn?

You will learn the basics within 1-2 hours: riding straight and light turns. Within a week, you can carve smoothly. Tricks and advanced street riding require more practice. The Wave Rider's wooden deck makes learning easier because of its more direct feedback.

What is the difference between the Volcano and the Abstrakt?

Technically, they are identical: the same 84 cm maple deck, the same wheels, bearings and torsion bar. The difference is purely in the design: the Volcano has a cool lava theme, the Abstrakt a modern graphic pattern. Choose what suits your style!
