If I say, video gaming can be an activity for fitness, not many would believe me. The first picture to mind would be a lazy sack on a couch pressing on a handheld controller like there is no tomorrow. Enter BoarDrop, a game changer that would flip the idea of traditional gaming and workout on their head. Combining the two – with the fun of snowboarding – the gaming device puts you on a real board indoors, so you can virtually practice on the slopes. And when the winter arrives, you can hit the powder like a pro.
Skateboarding has always been more than just a sport. It is a lifestyle. It’s breaking into the digital and fitness world in a way that no one saw coming with the BoarDrop, the ultimate hybrid of a skateboard, snowboard, and balance board, all wrapped in the exciting world of gaming.
The gaming and fitness controller is made from real snowboards and uses Canadian maple wood, fiberglass, and a layer of EVA foam in its construction. This thing can handle your biggest jumps and spins, letting you immerse yourself in snowboarding like you would in the real snow. The moment you step on it, you feel like you’re riding the slopes or – with the additional accessories – skating through the streets, all without leaving your home.
You can control the games through your body, spins, jumps, and other moves, and it has LED lights in the bottom that light up to jazz up your gameplay. The BoarDrop primarily comprises a Coreboard that features the specific snowboarding kit. The board is embedded with microprocessors, Bluetooth, motors for haptic feedback, and IMU (inertial measurement unit). Its built-in battery assures 10 hours of gameplay so your session lasts as long as you do.
Whether you’re a seasoned boarder or someone who’s never braved a snowboard; Boardrop makes the experience easy. Its real bindings, smooth vibration feedback, and intuitive design make balancing a breeze. In addition to snowboarding, BoarDrop can transform into three boards in one. Clip on skateboard wheels to it and conquer virtual streets as if you were outdoors, or add a balance board underneath to surf the waves in the virtual environment. These accessories are easy to attach, so you can transform the board to match whatever mood you’re in.

BoarDrop is perfect for literally any location – your living room or the gym. It’s portable, easy to set up, and compatible with a range of consoles including the PlayStation 5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and more. The versatile Boarddrop is currently listed on Kickstarter where you pre-book the snowboard for a super early bird price of $379.
