Sailboarding! The word conjures up images combining the excitement of sailing with the thrills of surfing -- and that's just about what happens. These little beauties skim across the top of the water like it's glass.

They're ultra-maneuverable … and they're so portable you can store them just about anywhere. With features like a recessed self-bailing cockpit and foam-packed glassed-together hull and deck for positive flotation, you can be righted and on your way again in less than a minute after a capsize. Easily cartoppable -- and easily affordable!
