Does anyone remember the snakeboard? This was, back in the day, the original street surfing board. Two platforms which moved independently. It was invented in 1989 by James Fisher and Oliver Macleod Smith but when they sold their company back in the late 90’s the company that bought it stopped production.

Anyway, following on from this a new type of board was created called the Street Board; from Anderson Streetboards USA.
The Street Board now involved a skateboard split into three decks, with the rider bound to the board. The boards have quickly caught on and offer a much more aggressive alternative to the Wave Board and the Ripstik (at least until the Ripstik G becomes widely available).
