The T-board is a longboard skateboard with only two wheels. The design is intended to mimic the sensation of carving on a snowboard. The two wheels simulate a carving edge on pavement.

The design differs from a traditional skateboard in a way similar to how rollerblades differ from traditional roller skates. It is possible to carve at a 60-degree angle, and under a five foot turning radius at slower speeds.[citation needed] T-boards are popular with surfers and snowboarders who use it to stay in good form when the weather conditions are not ideal.
