How To_ON SHORE BOARDS

The On Shore Board balances like a surfboard, a bicycle, or a motorbike - they all need forward motion to gain balance. Steering is achieved by leaning into the turn, a specialized board flex, and a rear pivotal device similar to that found on a traditional skateboard. The unique ride and “tracking” characteristics of the boards lie in the foundation of their extraordinary ability to deliver a hydro-dynamic riding sensation, similar to the keel of a boat vessel in water. The front end of the OSB sports an inline carving edge, or "keel of wheels" that lean in travel to over 35 degrees!

In addition, the boards have proprietary features that differentiate them from all other wheeled boards on the market. Comparable to riding a bicycle, the patented inline wheel system maintains the rider’s center of gravity directly over the wheels which enhances the stability of the board created by its forward motion. This forward motion balance creates a gyroscopic like center of gravity which is maintained during turns. Although the On Shore Board is a wheeled board, as such, initial comparisons will be made primarily to skateboarding. However, its unique ride, overall design, and specialized lean offers a completely different and exhilarating riding experience.

The On Shore Board board runs freely through all its paces, closely simulating this hydro-dynamic motion. One senses a free running "glide" on the straight and the "sweeping-turning" motion as the rear steering truck, acting like a rudder, steers from behind. This steering is accomplished by leaning the board into the turn, and on closer observation, the rear end of the OSB is seen to curve or track at a far larger radius than the front. In the end producing the unique "rudder and keel" effect. At the bottom of a sharp turn the OSB accelerates the rider through the turn, pulling G's similar to a bottom turn of a wave, and just as smoothly. This dynamic effect has been designed and achieved through flexing and tracking characteristics.
