-->-- Description for [=HumiliSkate=], ''Videogame/CrashTwinsanity''

Skateboards, Sleds, Surfboards, and other types of sliding modes of transport are designed with a streamlined, vaguely fish-like shape and smooth surface to allow movement on the surfaces they are made for. The human body is [[NotTheIntendedUse not fit for such purpose]].

Try telling that to people of fiction, however.

In this trope people use other people (or themselves) as makeshift surfboards. Depending on the tone of the work, they may be completely unharmed by this, or they're in for a DeathOfAThousandCuts if the surface they're surfed on is rough.

The very act itself can PlayedForLaughs that it often crops up as a form of humiliation because it's [[WipeTheFloorWithYou literally wiping the floor with someone]], except this time you're actually riding them instead of using them as a rug. Other times, it's an offensive move due to the aforementioned DeathOfAThousandCuts.

This is not limited to human bodies (dead or alive). Animals (especially [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins Penguins]] and [[ShamuFu Fishes]] that look suspiciously like surfboards) work too. Robots (like say, a RidiculouslyHumanRobot or TinCanRobot) only count if they're shaped as anything but an actual surfboard shape. Basically any "living" thing.

The key to the trope is the person/animal/robot is used as a vehicle that slides. So a person being used as a surfboard on water counts. However, if they are used as a diving and "surfing" ''mount''(as in straddled, not balanced on with feet) on water, then that would be HorseOfADifferentColor instead, due to being used as a living jetski and not a surfboard.

Self-sledding only counts if used outside slides. Because "[[PeopleSitOnChairs using yourself as a sled in a slide]]" is [[SquarePegRoundTrope stretching the trope a bit too much]].

SisterTrope to WipeTheFloorWithYou via the "floor wiping" side effect of the execution of this one. SisterTrope to ShieldSurf via act of surfing a non-surfboard itself. A SubTrope of ImplausibleBoardingSkills, which covers any other "Improvised Skateboard". May be a form of SprintShoes if it essentially functions as a dash.

Despite the name, examples of using living being as HoverBoard (and thus evading the friction issue) count here as well.
