Airboard Classic 130 Bodyboard
Way too much fun.

Simply put, these things rock. As previously mentioned, the control you get is surprisingly good. It does take some work, however, to get used to it. Testing at (closed) Deer Valley with my brother, we both noticed what he refers to in skateboarding terms as a "death wobble" where the board starts to shake at speed. Laying flat on the board rather than leaning back seems to counteract this. I tested the board on corn snow conditions, and it performed extremely well. The Air gives nice cushioning too, which is a plus since it is particularly good on iced up corn, where it absolutely rips. Helmets are an absolute must.
