Abstract
Systems, apparatus and methods for gliding on a surface with improved mobility are described. According to various embodiments, boards are provided which are configured to overlap. This innovative overlapping ability helps allow for versatile stance configuration and ensures that collision between the boards occurs between a base and an edge. This type of collision will generally result in a sliding action, allowing one board to ride up onto the top of the edge of the other board. This type of interaction reduces damage to the boards and improves riding experience. Boards with equal height nose and tail shovels are more likely to collide edge-to-edge in a disruptive manner. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
