The use of a shield, or something in a similar shape and/or size, as a board or sled to traverse through a particular environment. Being carried on a shield is a different trope entirely. Compare Body Sled. |

In Lord El-Melloi II Case Files, Gray does this once with her sentient weapon, Ad, when she has to get across snow to catch up with the Rail Zeppelin. As expected, Ad was slightly miffed by Gray turning him into a shield just so she could use him as a snowboard as he could feel every bump at high speed. | |

In Dynasty Warriors 8, Huang Gai uses a weapon in called an arm blade... which is a metal boat. Yes, a boat. And he shield surfs with it. It's as ridiculous and as awesome as it sounds. Xingcai can do this with an EX attack. |

Jackie Chan Adventures: Jackie pulls this off in the cold open of the first episode, establishing his Adventurer Archaeologist cred and ability to improvise. During "The Lotus Temple", Jade and Jackie have to rescue Xu Lin, the girl cursed to be the temple's guardian. A barrier prevents her from leaving, but Jackie notices a suit of armor that can leave the temple (he knows this because the villain of the episode animated it to attack him). It's too heavy for her to walk in, so they put her on a shield and push her out. |

In Code Geass, Lelouch uses a riot shield as a sled in a landslide. In a mecha, of course. He also uses it early in R2, surfing on slash haken wires and decapitating a Britannian Knightmare in the process. This scene was so iconic that when Bandai made an action figure of Zero's Burai, it came with the riot shield. |

Society of the Snow. Three survivors of the crash try hiking up the mountain to find the tail section of their crashed aircraft, hoping to retrieve the batteries so they can get the radio working. They find only wreckage and bodies, and nearly die from the cold overnight, but find the trip down the mountain a lot faster by using a section of the aircraft as a sled. | |

Link shield surfs a river of magical flame in one episode of the animated The Legend of Zelda (1989). And also surfs off of an explosion of his own bomb, in a move which (probably didn't) inspire glitch hunters down the line. |
