A flowboard is a variation on a skateboard, in essence, combining surfing, skating and snowboarding.
Characteristics
A flowboard has a deck that is very similar to a skateboard, though it mimics a snowboard. Instead of a regular truck and wheels set, a flowboard is fitted with two U shaped pieces of metal which house 5-7 wheels. These U shaped "trucks" are placed on both ends of the flowboard. A flowboard can be used like a regular skateboard, or for downhill carving, as in snowboarding.
