It’s like having a new skateboard every day! While the execution of this Instructables isn’t really the best for riding, the idea is smart. The guy basically made his own skateboard and brushed some chalkboard paint on top in the process. Of course you could do something similar with an existing board, which would be quicker, cheaper, and probably make for a better ride. But cool idea, skater creator dude.

Chewbacca Skateboard
Looks like the Wookie won. The aptly named Let the Wookie Win skateboard, created by Geoff McCleary, is a 44″ longboard inspired by the inimitable Chewbacca. Hand painted bandolier on raised wood and (allegedly faux) Wookie fur on top of a pressed Canadian maple deck with 7″ Core trucks and Bigfoot wheels make this a Force to be reckoned with. Also looks cool as hell as a wall hanger. A $299 one. (dudeiwantthat via gizmodo)
Microsoft turns Surface tablet into a skateboard, Windows chief Steven Sinofsky takes it for a spin
Gorilla Glass 2 and a chassis forged from magnesium lend Microsoft's Surface slates some durability, but the firm's decided to prove just how tough its tablets are by turning one into a skateboard. The wheeled slice of Windows 8 is said to have been rolled out during a tour of Redmond's Surface skunkworks, but Windows chief Steven Sinofksy couldn't resist hopping on the board today and tweeting a pair of photos. You can pre-order your deck now, though something tells us this mod isn't covered under Ballmer and Co.'s warranty.
