Surf without waves. Carve without snow. And turn a lot of heads with a board that loves concrete. - Unique, skateboard-style deck that recreates the feeling of snowboarding/surfing on concrete
- Patented Deep Carve System (DCS) features 14-wheel, arched setup that allows you to carve 45-degree angles with fluid, edge-to-edge motion, preventing wheel bite and bushing resistance
- The same heel-to-toe motion of snowboarding or surfing
- Great off-season training device for keeping in top shape
- 7-ply, maple deck with grip tape, urethane wheels and steel bearings
- Deck features symmetrical design with concave cut
- Fully assembled DCS truck set with mounting hardware and risers makes assembly a snap
- Wheels are 61mm x 24mm
- 30-day manufacturer's warranty
If you live to surf/snow/skate, you can't live without the Flowboard. It'll energize and innovate your board sport program, no matter the season.

Summary: Great Board.
Comment: Purchased this as a gift for my 12 year old son. The board is very well made and sturdy. He has really enjoyed riding it and it has a big initial WOW factor. However, the wheels on this board are the weak link in my opinion. They do not spin anywhere near as well as decent skateboard wheels. Adding oil helped some but I would say this board is definitely NOT for flat terrain. On small hills the rolling resistance of the wheels kills your momentum quickly. Long, steep hills are where the board really shines. Due to the number of wheels (12) maybe the manufacturer could put higher quality wheels on the board without driving the price too high.
Bottom line. If you live in a hilly area or plan to use this at a skatepark, this is a great board. Otherwise, it might not be worth the $$$.
