"What I like about the Carveboard and couldn't believe, was the amazing similarity to snowboarding. When I stuck my feet in the same position as my bindings and kept them that way, it was the same mechanics as if I was riding my snowboard. It really brought attention to the muscles that strain when snowboarding, especially when your tired. I could feel those muscles and it allowed me to target them and experiment with different pressures and weight placements and find the right balance between stress and comfort. For me I was able to simulate the flat spots on the mountain, like when I am not on a rail and at my weakest, unsure of where to rest my weight, the carveboard provided me with the ability to over and over again work through that experience and train my legs and body to become accustomed to that scenario and adjust accordingly. The carveboard in my mind is the best all around surf and snowboard trainer I have found." DO2

The carveboard is not a skateboard and we learned that quickly. "The first push I tried I hit the back tire and went flying. After a few turns I was stoked that it wasn't a skateboard, because the carveboard does things a skateboard can't do." We still like skating alot, but what's best about the carveboard and makes it so unique is that it provides the surfer and snowboarder the ability to surf or board with out waves or snow. "I think we found a new lunch time ritual," says the boss.

In a nutshell the carveboard with its spring loaded trucks, airfilled tires and flex deck, (which you can customize to your own weight by the various layers of ply) really is an unbelievable way to keep your boarding skills fine tuned. It allows the boarder to recreate the same basic moves over and over again and adjust with out paddling out or hopping on a chairlift. Its an excellent off season training device but more than that, it delivers the same feelings and emotions as laying your rail into a full roundhouse section or dragging your fingers through a soul arch bottom turn in the fresh...we recommend the carve board to all boarding enthusiasts.
