STRENGTHS
- The Dash Skimmers are capable of conquering any terrain, even the sky.
- With just the safety equipment worn by the riders, the Skimmers are particularly vulnerable to collisions with obstacles or accidents.
A wedding gift made for Persephone Dashiell to give her brother and new sister-in-law after she visited Che Chuchi Boutique. The boards are customized to each rider’s height and weight, easily carrying them aloft. Equipped with turbothrusters, they aren’t simply limited to downhill but can manage any type of terrain and even up embankments and slopes with little effort.
A second mode, allows the user to soar into the air like any other repulsor vehicle after securely locking the user's feet in place to prevent them from falling from the board. The speed governor is also removed, increasing the maximum speed from 95 km/h to 350 km/h. Slower than most airspeeders, but faster than most organics will be comfortable without a breathing apparatus.
For safety, each board will gently descend and reorient itself if the onboard computer believes control has been lost or the weight of a rider is no longer detected unless overridden by new input. If a violent crash is detected an emergency beacon keyed to local emergency services and/or a private line will activate, and a grav-belt is included to reduce the likelihood of injury from falls. The friction shield reduces the effects of wind against the rider’s body while assisting with stability, removing some of the risk of the skyboard.
