 What
is a RollerSurfer Board?
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. It’s 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.

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!!! Click

USER’S
GUIDANCE - As a beginner, it’s workable to lean on the
wall or depend on the help from other’s 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).
