I have my SUP on consignment, it was fun but just too slow. So I bought a Boosted electric skateboard. I am not a great skateboarder, I could never do a kick flip, but I can make nice turns. The only other skate I own is a Loaded 38" bamboo long board, which happens to be the board that the original Boosted platform was built on. With the new generation they are building the board, wheels, trucks and mechanical stuff in house. It came packaged like an Apple product and already charged. The first thing I noticed was that this thing seems rock solid, and it's kind of heavy. My first ride I realized that there is quite a learning curve, it accelerates fast and brakes fast, then a yellow jacket flew into my helmet and stung me in the head. That ended the first ride. Now that the swelling has gone down and I can wear a helmet again, I just went on the second ride. I carved circles, toeside and heelside. I carved uphill. I rode down hills that I would have never considered before, because I have brakes. I am glad I didn't spring for the stealth model which goes faster. It is kind of spendy, but it's less than a new Oxess or a Kessler. I can carve in the off season now - finally.
