The skimboard was a form of personal transport which allowed the rider (usually a single being) to hover above the ground. The board utilized a series of repulsors and microengines to propel the device along at a flight ceiling of around one meter (though with questionable modifications, this could be more than doubled). Though balance was an important key to remaining on the board, the rider was also held in place by adhesive lines of goo called stick-strips. The board was operated via a series of foot controls at the rear, which could be used to regulate the power flow between the engines and repulsors for maximum maneuverability.
