Newport Beach, Calif. Co. Creates New Street Surfing™ Sport With Launch of The Wave™"
Innovative new board blends surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding.
(PRWEB) August 6, 2005 -- Born from the skate and surf mecca of Newport Beach and melding the motions of surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding, Street Surfing, LLC is introducing a first-of-its-kind board dubbed The Wave, blending the anatomy of all three sports in one distinctive ride-Street Surfing. (www.streetsurfing.com)
The Wave's unique features and benefits include:
| | - A two-wheel, 360 degree rotating design, allowing the rider to propel forward without touching the ground
- Platforms attached to a torsion bar, giving the rider the ability to tilt for sharp turns, execute precision moves and perform front side and backside 360's
- Riders can carve downhill like a snowboarder or rocket uphill, all by slightly bending the knees and twisting at the hips. This body action stimulates the board to move in an S" shaped motion that is responsible for continuously propelling The Wave forward

With more than 22 million people across the country who actively participate in surfing, skateboarding or snowboarding (according to American Sports Data), The Wave fills a year-round craving for those who engage in these sports on a seasonal level due to geographic challenges.
Never before has a sports board combined the motions of surfing, snowboarding and skateboarding in such an innovative and fun design," said Street Surfing's Founder and President Mark Weiner. Our mission is to create high quality products with sophisticated designs that appeal to kids and adults alike."
The Wave hits retail shelves in April and retails for $99.95 at Sports Authority, Modell's, Dick's Sporting Goods, Big 5 Sporting Goods, Sports Chalet and Academy Sports locations around the country. It is currently available for $129.95 at www.StreetSurfing.com, the definitive location for product information and how-to" tutorials on the sport of Street Surfing.
It just takes a few minutes to learn to ride The Wave, enough time to become addicted and mesmerized by its motion, versatility and play value. Street surfing on The Wave can also turn into innovative versions of downhill slalom racing, street hockey, Frisbee and Nerf Football.
We have seen a tremendously positive response each and every time we demonstrate The Wave," said Weiner. Kids and adults alike spend just a few moments learning the techniques of riding The Wave and are immediately addicted to the fun maneuverability and versatility of this unique board."
From a safety perspective, when a Street Surfer becomes displaced from his or her board, the two-wheel design causes the board to tilt down and meet the ground, minimizing undesirable falls. Street Surfing, LLC always advocates safety and recommends riders wear the proper safety gear, use common sense and check and obey local laws regarding use of any such product on public property.
With early consumer and retailer reaction to The Wave wildly enthusiastic, the phenomenon of Street Surfing is poised to become a sport that will energize kids and adults alike. For more information please visit www.streetsurfing.com.
