did some research, turns out they're called a Flowboard, and were invented in the 90's...

also,
Unlike most conventional skateboards—which can lean up to 25 degrees—the Flowlab allows you to carve at 45 degrees. That gives them a handling similar to a snowboard, without requiring any snow.

I've never been into snowboarding or skateboarding, but this would be one invention I would be willing to try out.

Looks crazy, you could probably do some hardcore coasting on that. Bet you it's a lot easier to break your leg on that thing however.

i've had the pleasure of riding one of these a few times

way more fun to cruise down hills but they roll from side to side a little too easily. kind of sketchy
