Ever wished you could spend your entire life at the beach, surfing all the day, partying every night? Well, we might’ve found a way to sort of make that dream come true. Deska Board is a three-wheel skateboard you can attach your sail to and use it like the actual windsurf board, only you'll ride it on the street.
The board itself comes with an inbuilt wheel brake system that allows you to slow down or stop any time you want. It also has a “footbelt” system, a rubber belt under which you put your foot to be sure you can jump anytime you want, without being afraid of losing the board.
The Deska board has a stainless steel/wood nut and a carbon sandwich structure, which is allegedly the lightest solution to this design. But probably the weirdest, yet the coolest feature about this board is that it can be armed with a sail similar to windsurfing equipment, allowing you to use the wind for propulsion where ever you need. According to its creator, Industrial Designer Csabla Dolgyesy, it can work with any standard windsurf sail, with installation taking no more than 10 seconds to finish.
It’s not like the actual windsurfing, but it could make a hell of a practice. This way, when you actually make it to the beach you are at least decent at doing the real thing. Of course, you can use it like a skateboard, as well. Features include carbon and Kevlar construction, 200 mm wheels and a removable brake system that can be activated by a handle in the rear.
In case the Indiegogo project makes it to the $20,000 goal until October 29 and the board actually makes it to the production faze, the Carbon Deska Board with windsurf straps system is priced at $540.
