Kids Get Fit While Having Fun Riding The Wave®
The PR NEWSWIRE US (Tue 15 May 2007) reports that the Wave(R), the hottest action board in the nation and quickly becoming the street sport of preference for kids, is also helping them to get and stay in shape! An inline action board with two wheels that rotate 360 degrees, The Wave gives the rider the feeling and flexibility that is normally reserved for surfers and snowboarders, and is propelled by using core movements of the body, making for an excellent fitness regime on top of being just plain fun. The Wave is even being incorporated into middle school physical education classes as an innovative way for kids to stay physically active. The Wave is also becoming popular with kids thanks to the board's ability to be ridden in small areas as well as do tricks, sharp turns and 360s, and the fact the rider's feet never have to touch the ground. In fact, kids who snowboard comment that they like riding The Wave during the off-season because it allows them to improve on their snowboarding skills. The same holds true for kids who surf when the weather turns cold or the waves are flat. The Wave provides a similar ride for both, only they "surf the street" -- and the good news is that riding The Wave does not require kids to have any surfing or snowboarding experience. Street Surfing, LLC, the company behind The Wave, will release a smaller version of The Wave in mid-May, called The Ripple, for younger kids ages 6-10. This version of The Wave is perfect for keeping little rippers active.
