Industrial designers Mike Simonian and Pieter Schouten made this skateboard in order to add the flexibility of snowboarding movements to skateboarding:
The Flowlab Skateboard allows you to surf without waves and ride without snow. Years of experimentation resulted in the geometry that allows a device with no moving parts to simulate the fluid motion of snowboarding or surfing on land. The arced axles let you carve to 45 degree angles with no resistance and fluid transitions edge-to-edge.

It is truly heavier than a normal board because of the added weight of the trucks and extra wheels. I only attempted to ride it once before almost breaking my ankle.
I still have it with the extra wheels if any one wants to grab it??
