Freebord compared to wakeboarding

i’ve been checking out this board, freebord and it seems pretty cool, but I was wondering if anyone owns one. I kind of want to find out if it’s legit or not

this is the clip that I watched:

You Charles, where do you order those? That thing is sweet! I want one now I watched that video and I had never even heard of them. Alot different than the FLOW boards or things similar to them. Anyone know how much they cost?

$200. Which I think is BIT high

You can get them directly from the factory for a bit less. the freeboard is awsome, well worth the money if you feel like riding when you cant be on the water. I bought mine two years ago

I think this thing has a lot of potential:

Of course, they don't make it and they probably never will unless they can show some riders who don't suck.

Salmon, you are right. Those guys either suck, or that thing is really hard to ride.
That guy (the inventor) goes on and on about how smart he is, with working on "aircraft engines" ect... blah blah blah. But I tell you what, he has NO IDEA about marketing! Get some people who can ride the damn thing. I'll be honest, Im more sold on the freebord because those guys make it look good.

The freeboard looks pretty good. The other one does not! You would think if they are trying to promote it, they could get a better rider. My vote is for Freeboard.

I have one, actually. It feels exactly like a snowboard once you get the feel for it. And, as a matter of fact, I'm selling mine if anyone's interested. It's not that I don't like it, I just don't have time to ride it and I could use the money (college, you see). I would highly recommend it, whether you want to buy mine or not.
