6' 8" Hamboard Skateboard
Such a smooth ride 
I've been using the Hamboard lately when the fields are too wet for the Dirtsurfer.
This 6' 8" longboard skateboard is massive, but once you start riding, the board carves like no other.
And, it fits within the Mini 
I've been using NPWs (2.4m to 15m) directly off the handles in empty parking lots.
The board sports 97mm ABEC 11 Flywheels with ABEC 7 bearings. There is a clear coating on the board that is really tacky and there is no need for
griptape.
Overall, it's just a blast to ride  Try one if you get a chance! 
Foil Kites: Flysurfer 12m Sonic 4, 10m Soul V2, Peak 5s and 5.5m Hybrid
LEIs: 9m Naish Pivot, 12m Naish Phoenix
Land: 16" Dirtsurfer GP
H20: 134 Shinn Monk Chromatic, Slingshot 103cm Hope Craft w/ Axis Spitfire 840

Bolt a universal joint on the nose of that puppy and you'll have a nifty parking lot windsurfer. I built one that looked almost exactly like that a
bunch of years ago and it was a lot of fun. Used a cheap mast, boom and smallest sail I could find. Spent hours during the yuchy months in Ohio on
that thing and even made the 5 o'clock news one time. The advantage this rig has over a kite is that you don't have to worry about power lines and
small lots. I even rode it on side walks (got some pretty weird looks that time). Very sweet ride, enjoy!

Unfortunately not. It's real simple to do though, all you have to do is drill one hole in the deck -in front- of the front truck for the bolt in the
universal/power joint. This had to be 15 years ago. Another guy added skates to the trucks and used his on ice. Good fun!

If you have any windsurfing gear, all you need to do is bolt your mast base to the board, and your set!

fall.... you'll definitely end up on your back
