The 'Razor Ripsurf' is a unique surfboard that is specially designed for dry land. Whether you live in a land-locked area or you simply prefer to stay dry, this board is the perfect product for helping you experience the feeling of surfing.
The Razor Ripsurf features a patented design that allows riders to carve and maneuver the same way that they would if they were surfing in the ocean. The board itself features a polypropylene deck embedded with a texture traction pad. On the bottom of the deck there are two 360-degree urethane caster wheels, that allow riders to glide over dry land with ease. The board is even equipped with Razor´s RipStik Air technology, which helps riders slow down or speed up without ever taking their foot off the board.
