ABSTRACT:
A device for traveling a standing, sitting or prone person along a surface has a foot engaging component which facilitates control of the device and retention of the device at the user's feet while also enabling quick unimpeded entry and withdrawal of the feet by lateral movement of the feet. The device may be configured for any of diverse activities such as skateboarding, skiing, snowboarding and surfboarding among others. The device may have interchangeable surface contacting components which enable quick restructuring of the device for use in different activities of these kinds. In one form, the foot engaging component has side-by-side boot shaped foot chambers which extend in the direction of travel and which are open at their outer sides. In another form, the foot engaging component has a single open sided foot chamber and pairs are used for activities, such as skiing or roller skating for example, where independent movement of devices attached to the person's feet is required.
