I haven't posted here in years. Occasionally I poke around for news and pictures and gear.
Unfortunately I don't get out and wakeboard much anymore. Life happens... But it's been good tho. Just too busy and too difficult to find 2 other people who have the same multi-hour chunk of time available for wakeboarding.
Anyway,... Enter Onewheel!
After saving money for a year and researching many different electric skateboards I ordered the Onewheel (plus model) because:
1. it seemed to be the best option for off-road use
2. No hand controller. Board acceleration control is more an extension of one's body and mind as you lean.
3. The single wheel is a central pivot point, allowing for tighter more nimble turns and feels more like carving to me. More reminiscent of wakeboarding.
4. Maintenance seems simple. No belts to replace and more water resistant-ish compared to some other boards.
Thought I'd share and suggest a Onewheel or an Evolve or other electronic skateboard to calm the approaching winter urges to want to board. Of course there is snowboarding and many other sources to get your sidewayz groove on... So find what works for you.
The Onewheel has nicely filled the depressing void of wakeboarding for me and filled an additional hole that I didn't even know I had.
love my Onewheel. Most fun I've had since wakeboarding.
Ohhh and one more thing.
The Onewheel, if nothing else is a FANTASTIC way to cruise the marina and launch ramps! Check out the Onewheel conquer Lake Powell's Antelope Point marina ramp.
