Similar in appearance to a Terran surfboard, the Bolian vectorboard is an aerodynamic form constructed out of polyduranide and is slightly larger than its aquatic forebears. The vectorboard uses antigravity multiphase generators to create nested fields of antigravitons to propel the vehicle through the air at speeds reaching 200 mph. A sarium krellide battery powers the vectorboard for up to ten hours. The rider stays on board using either magnetic boots or polyduranide foot straps, and operates the board through a combination of balance and reaction control thrusters directed through a foot pedal under the lead foot. Vectorboarding is a popular pastime on many Federation planets, though strict ordinances regulate when and where a vectorboard can be ridden. They come in a variety of sizes and colors.
