Details:
Floatboard has quick release wheels in which to navigate either land or water. The metal structure from a walker (mobility aide) provides kneel-assist and also the paddles/poles as tools in which to roll or float. Floatboard explores what it is like to live in an area of tides and tsunamis in which land is sometimes land and sometimes water.
