Line 9:
A flowboard has a deck that is very similar to a skateboard, though it mimics a snowboard. Instead of a regular truck and wheels set, a flowboard is fitted with two U shaped pieces of metal which house 7 wheels. These U shaped "trucks" are placed on both ends of the flowboard. A flowboard can be used like a regular skateboard, or for downhill carving, as in snowboarding. The original prototypes date back to 1993 and the first patent registered in 1994.
Commonly referred to as "the board for all boardriders"
Several walking tours in San Francisco frequent spots that flowboarders can be seen riding their boards down various hills in town.
