UPDATE -- PRODUCTION PROTOTYPE -- COMPLETE
Seaskate's two-wheeled, rear-driven spring system makes it the only skateboard that captures the feeling of fins in the water. No pushing - just flow.

Seriously: Lateral acceleration stimulates a set of receptors in the inner ear that connect us with the center of the Earth and make us feel good.
Think: hammock, rocking chair, rollercoaster.. quick car or motorcycle... getting rocked as a baby in your mother's arms. Ahhhhh....

Far beyond every skateboard before it, proper surf technique (+ springs + geometry + gravity) propel Seaskate forward.
Spend infinitely more time on your feet - be utterly shocked at what you are capable of.

There are 1000's of premium 4-wheeled skateboards on the market. There are ZERO premium 2-wheeled skateboards on the market. There are 0 skateboards in total as sprung at the rear, and loose at the nose (like a surfboard) - as Seaskate.
Nothing else even comes close!
Our nearest “option” is a plastic toy sold at Walmart. No springs - no drive - no soul.
Oh the humanity!

Seaskate takes minutes to learn - and a lifetime to master. Seaskate develops strength, skill, grace, and personal expression. Things that are valuable are by definition not easy - or they would not be valuable.
That being said, Seaskate feels remarkably natural.

Kids get it right away - it’s uncanny - but active parents with no board sport experience whatsoever also find a nice groove on the first day.
The sine wave is the natural flow of all energy in the Universe, but we digress...

Tail stop takes a little practice, and is NOT a high speed solution. Don't even THINK about going down any kind of slope until you can turn-stop.
^Shoulders square, arms out, knees bent
1.) START SLOW, 2.) STAY LOW.

I'm Darien. I design and build and ride stuff all day every day! I have 30+ years of surf, skate, and snow - each. I think of a board as a profound treasure ... a Katana (sword) for your feet --- an extension of you.
To put it mildly: Not everyone can just drop everything and go surf when the waves are just right. This quagmire has a way of perpetuating intermediacy, seemingly forever ... to which I can personally attest. I built Seaskate in my garage because i needed it. Like, this was an EMERGENCY.
My surf has improved more riding this thing than in my first 3 decades in the water. The math is exponential.

Enter Bob. President of Freebord (the guys who figured out snowboarding on land). This is his variation on the Freebord caster - which is bulletproof - made exclusively for Seaskate.
It adds a 20° rake, more powerful springs, and revised cams with hard turn-stops for powerslides. Epic!

The mission is 4-fold: Hook up landlocked surfers, progress surfing, do REAL ocean conservation/environmental work (not that fake stuff you see on TV) - and be a pantheon reaction to today's indoor, toxic, sedentary lifestyle.

THANK YOU for the amazing support and SHARES! Seaskate would be NOTHING without you crazy early adopters who just fully sent it when i had basically garbage.
Now we have the funnest thing in the world!! (besides surfing)
This brand belongs to you as far as I'm concerned.
