Waveboarding

Understanding Waveboarding

Waveboarding is an exhilarating board sport that captures the essence of surfing for the urban environment. By using a waveboard, sometimes referred to as a caster board or a vigorboard, you can hone your surfing skills when you're away from the waves.

People of all ages can engage in waveboarding, which is a delightful way to refine balance whilst also achieving a solid cardiovascular workout. The two-wheel structure allows riders to perform an array of activities on their caster board. Whether your preference is for cruising, carving, or executing tricks and stunts, waveboarding accommodates it all.

Mastering Waveboarding Techniques

Utilising a waveboard necessitates a different method compared to skateboards or longboards, particularly as your feet aren’t in contact with the ground. At first, it’s crucial to adjust your stance and concentrate on balancing, considering each leg has just one wheel beneath it.

The board is set in motion by your own propulsion. This is accomplished by rocking either your rear leg or both legs back and forth in a twisting fashion. Such motion initiates forward movement, increasing in speed the more you wiggle.

To steer, use your front leg to direct the waveboard by pushing the fore part of the board towards your intended direction. Stopping involves pressing down on your toes, causing the board's side to touch the ground after you've decelerated.
