Future Motion partnered with the World Surf League to create
a surreal rideable sandcastle experience
SANTA
CRUZ, Calif. and HUNTINGTON BEACH,
Calif., Aug. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Future Motion
Inc., the maker of Onewheel, the iconic, self-balancing
single-wheel electric board, is pleased to announce its sponsorship
of the World Surf League (WSL) and the construction of a full-scale
rideable sandcastle course at the Lexus US Open of Surfing.
Onewheel invite surfing fans to experience
a magical beach shredding experience
Onewheel has created the US Open's first life-size rideable
sandcastle course, inviting surfing fans to experience a magical
beach shredding experience. The 60x40-foot Onewheel sand course
features a winding path complete with sand berms amid 6-foot
sandcastle minarets. The team documented the challenging process of
creating the sandcastle course in a 20-minute video.
The US Open runs from August 3 to
11 at the Huntington Beach Pier, with Onewheel's rideable
sandcastle located near the X-Games activation on the beach. During
the first few days of the event, Onewheel welcomed thousands of
curious beach-goers, and the activation has already earned hundreds
of thousands of views on social media.
"The reaction has been amazing," exclaimed Jack Mudd, Marketing Director at Onewheel.
"Everyone who walks by stops and pulls out their phones to get a
photo, and the local news has been by to cover it and go for a
ride. It's clear that the 'Shredcastle,' as we call it, has
captured everyone's imagination."
Onewheel's unique design, featuring a large single tire and
self-balancing technology, makes it a highly versatile electric
board for all-terrain riding, including on packed sand. Riders use
the same intuitive leaning movements to carve on a Onewheel as they
do in other board sports.
"We're really excited to partner with World Surf League," said
Kyle Doerksen, CEO of Future Motion
and inventor of Onewheel. "Our boards have always been popular with
the surf and broader board sports communities because they deliver
the same feeling of flow and freedom but make that experience
accessible anywhere."
"Onewheel has been an amazing cross-training tool for
maintaining my mental and physical muscle memory when I'm on the
road," said Tyler James, who surfed
competitively for seven years and is now a full-time member of the
Onewheel Factory Pro Team. It was an incredibly helpful tool when I
was recovering from injuries; I could train on the Onewheel before
getting back on the waves."
Since its first Onewheel launched in 2014, the company's product
lineup has grown to include a range of models, including the
Onewheel Pint, Pint X, Onewheel GT, and Onewheel GT S-Series, each
with its own unique performance capabilities and features.
