How to Ride a Waveboard
Waveboarding sounds like it belong in the water, but the truth is much different. Waveboards are made for the street and sidewalk. Rather than the four wheels a skateboard has, waveboards only have two, which are lined up one behind the other in the middle of the board. This makes riding a waveboard much more difficult than a skateboard, requiring much more balance. Here are some steps to getting going on a waveboard.
