Monoski

Unlike in snowboarding, both feet face forward, rather than sideways to the direction of travel.

Similar equipment includes the skwal and the teleboard, with feet in tandem formation (one ahead of the other).

[citation needed] Monoskiing was invented in the late 1950s by Dennis Phillips at Hyak, Washington using a single water ski and bear trap bindings.

[citation needed] Recently the popularity of monoskiing has increased, particularly in France and in the United States largely due to technological advances in the design of the ski.

[citation needed] Fans of monoskiing arrange festivals during the season to try out new skis and compete in various competitions.
