The Onewheel is one of the coolest gadgets I’ve seen in awhile. It is a high-tech, self-balancing, single-wheeled skateboard of sorts that is controlled by leaning forward and backward, or side to side. Fast and fun, the Onewheel is a joy to ride.
In this video, you’ll get to see a group of pro-surfers – Dege O’Connell, Albee Layer, Tanner Hendrickson, Kai Barger and Hank Gaskell – put the Onewheel through its paces. The clip is less than a minute in length, but it gives you an idea of what the device is like. It isn’t too late to get Santa to put one under your tree this year.
