| Sky Surfing | comment |
A form of transportation and example of Not Quite Flight in which the flyer stands on top of an object with relative propulsion and control surfaces. While the rider is usually the one in control, all the work is done by whatever he's standing on. Despite the trope name, the flying vehicle in question doesn't necessarily have to be surfboard-shaped. Owes its existence to The Sky Is an Ocean and, of course, the Rule of Cool. The difference between a Hover Board and Sky Surfing is that a Hover Board (whatever its shape) is limited in how high above the ground it can go. Though sky surfing is real, in real life, it's just fancy tricks in the air while falling rather than transportation of any kind. Super-Trope to Magic Carpet, Flying Broomstick, Flying on a Cloud and Ride the Rainbow. If the rider isn't the one in control of the object he's on top of such as a plane or similar, it's Outside Ride. See also Rocket Ride. |

Champions Online has more than one such power. One summons chunks of earth (or cloud, if you do it while falling), another summons a chunk of ice, and yet another summons an actual technological glider disk. The newest ones include a magic carpet and a cloud with a rainbow trail. | |

Sonic The Hedgehog: In several games, Tails will fly a biplane and Sonic will stand on the wings. In the Sonic Riders series, a mark of true Extreme Gear mastery is being able to achieve legitimate flight on a gear rather than the Not Quite Flight that most regular riders are capable of. The Babylon Rouges all have the technique licked to some extent, but Sonic ends up having trouble with it at first. |

Rush Jet allows Mega Man to skysurf on the back of his dog. The Balloon Adapter in Rockman 4 Minus Infinity lets him do the same thing and it is based on the Rush Jet from Mega Man 3, but with a very high weapon energy cost. Official art of Mega Man X shows that X's Ultimate Armor can transform into a flying board when not in use. The intro animation in Mega Man X DiVE shows him riding it before it activates. |

While not technically flying, the Anchoring ability in S4 League allows you to shoot a grappling chain to any surface and then zip there on a board. Since this can be done in midair, arenas with enough tall buildings will let you zoom from one end to the other without touching the ground. | |

Power Rangers in Space: "Galaxy Gliders, hang ten!" It didn't get used an awful lot but as part of the Mid-Season Upgrade package in Power Rangers Jungle Fury the yellow ranger got a new zord of a penguin that rides around on a floating board, which folded up around it when it became a megazord's leg. |

Ayakashi Triangle: Matsuri once caught up to the faster Soga by using wind ninjutsu to fly over any obstacles in-between them on an uprooted sign (which is amusingly labeled "Danger: Slow Down"). Unfortunately, the wind and higher altitude gave Soga a very good view up Matsuri's skirt. | |

In Shaman King, the Ainu shaman and snowboarder Horohoro uses his magic to create an ever-present avalanche of snow and ice under his snowboard to fly. Might be closer to a Hover Board in that there presumably is a limit to how high he can make the snow go. This is very similar to how Iceman of the X-Men often travels, though he just stands on the ice he creates. Neither of them seems to worry about what happens with all that frozen water after they've been passing through... |

Eureka Seven has lifting, a form of Sky Surfing using special boards to ride strange atmospheric particles called trapars, which are really the thought energy of the intelligent coral covering the planet. Anyways, Lifting is also used as a flight mechanism for their Humongous Mecha. If it's not awesome enough, their surfboards leave energy trails that can slice through armor, luminescent green/yellow and look like splashing waves. |

Tekkaman Blade often rode on the back of his robot Pegus. In Tekkaman Blade II, Vesna, Sommer, and Hiver had dedicated ships (with their own pilots) to ride on, and Aki, once but an angsty love interest, has her own Pegas II (for the same reason—she's an artificial Tekkaman and needs a Pegas to transform). | |

Touhou Project: Rikako Asakura has some sort of rocket jet ski that she presumably built herself. It's implied she can fly, but she'd rather use science than magic to do so. This is why she's the heretic of Gensokyo. Cute Witch Marisa Kirisame is seen "surfing" on her Flying Broomstick during "Sungrazer", her Last Word for Hopeless Masquerade. This may be Ascended Fanon, since she'd long been portrayed as doing this in fanart beforehand. |

In Warhammer, Warhammer: Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40,000, Tzeentch, the Chaos God of magic, often gifts his most powerful followers and daemons with a Disc of Tzeentch. These flat, circular daemons are created from a transmuted Screamer and allow their rider to soar through the skies of a battlefield to rain magic and psychic powers down on their foes. | |

Dragon Ball: Tao Pai Pai's preferred method of travel was to hurl a log towards his destination, leap on top of it, and ride it into the horizon. And predating that is Goku's Kinto'un, a golden cloud which only the pure of heart can ride. Given to him by Mutenroshi, replaced by Karin after it got blown up for good, then inherited by his sons after his second death, he used it extensively until he learned to fly faster than it could. Mutenroshi also used baby Gamera this way, but all that spinning made him puke. |

Temjin in the Virtual-ON series gained this as a special attack in the second game. It becomes his most powerful attack in Super Robot Wars Alpha 3 and Super Robot Wars K. Speaking of Super Robot Wars, the Huckebein Boxer's Sword Diver attack enables the frame to transform into a rocket powered Waverider BFS which rams itself into the opponent as the finishing move. |
