Amazon.com Product Description
The original Wave surfing board quickly became the hottest casterboard on the market, combining the natural fluidity of surfing with the maneuverability of snowboarding and skating. Now Street Surfing gives younger riders the same great performance as the Wave but in a proportionally smaller design with the Ripple.

The Ripple is specially designed for younger riders, yet still performs the same tricks as the Wave.

The latter board is slightly narrower and shorter, letting the rider take a narrower stance that matches his or her riding needs. Like the original Wave, however, the Ripple still offers the same flexible platform, making it possible to perform precision 360s in small spaces, carve downhill, and even ride uphill. The Ripple also makes tighter turns than the Wave while still encouraging riders to perform all manner of skating tricks, including manuals, board leaps, ollies, acid drops, kick flips, and more.

The two-wheeled Ripple is outfitted with a spring-oriented torsion bar that controls the flexible front and rear panels, along with a pair of fully rotating 360-degree wheels with Abec-5 bearings. Once on the board, the rider merely twists his or her hips back and forth in an S-shaped motion to propel down the street, with no foot propulsion required. It takes only a few minutes to learn how to ride the Ripple, and within a few hours most riders will be proficient. And riders needn't worry about the Ripple's durability, as the platforms are made of a virtually indestructible ABS plastic. Now younger riders can enjoy the Wave's exciting fusion of surfing, snowboarding, and skateboarding. The Ripple is backed by a six-month warranty.

Customer Reviews

This Board Rocks! (review by 8 year old boy)
I think this board is perfect if you're 8 because the other boards are too wide and big. When I ride it my feet are near the black edge and they are a little wider than my shoulders. It's easy to ride and I'm already really good at it in just one day. Buy this board! It looks so cool and rocks! And have fun on your new wave board.

Son Loves It!
My son wanted a mini ripstick and we saw this as a cheaper alternative. He loves it and never said a thing about it being any different than a mini ripstick. He rides it non stop!

11-year old loves it
My son loves his Ripple. Great intro into this new type of street board. Much different than skateboarding.

Took him about a dozen attempts to get the hang of getting started. Best to practice on a slight downhill grade to gain momentum.

Highly recommended. Seems superior in quality/durability to Ripstik.
