Is learning to ride a wave board/ripstick hard?

Question

by the way... ive never been able to skateboard though ive never really tried. on a scale of 1-10 how hard is it for a noob? is it fun?

Answer 1

On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 = easy, 10= hard), learning to ride a ripstick is probably a 5  and skate boarding is like a 6 or a 7 ..

If you stick with it you'll get the hang of the ripstick in a few minutes, just make sure you have someone to hold on to when you first try,

as for skateboarding, learn from a friend and just keep practicing!

For both, it requires a lot of balance and if your looking to increase your balance, I strongly suggest buying an Indo Board (indoboard.com) . .I'm a surfer and that has helped my balance become a lot stronger ..

Good luck!

Answer 2

For some people it's easy to learn to wave board and for some people it's difficult. If you have good balance and good coordination, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to learn. Wave boarding is definitely a fun past time. As for myself, I'd rate it a 5. (With 10 being the highest in difficulty)

Pros

Easy to ride - at first, the Wave seems a little odd, but it can be learned quickly

The board is propelled in such a way that the rider doesn't even have to touch the ground

Smooth - the Wave rides very naturally and smoothly, like swimming over the pavement

Cons

Tiring - until you are used to the Wave, it will wear out your feet and legs!

Hard to stop - the Wave can turn on a dime, but actually stopping can be difficult
