A '''hoverboard''' is a portable transportation Sims can use in substitution for walking, featured in ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]''. Unlike windcraver, children can also use it. The hoverboard is called '''Windcarver'''. It can be obtained in [[Buy mode]] under Transportation > Misc section. Sims can also buy a hoverboard at the shopping pedestal, at [[Gallery shop|EP-XI Imports Gallery]] in [[Oasis Landing]]. |

The player can click on the hoverboard in the [[inventory]] to start or stop using it. Enabling the option will make Sims travel to a nearby destination riding the hoverboard outdoors instead of walking. Riding a hoverboard will increase the Sim's [[Advanced Technology]] skill. |

The Advanced Technology skill determines how often Sims will fall from riding the hoverboard and the speed of the hoverboard. As Sims reach level 7 of the skill, they will no longer fall, and there's a chance that they will do a trick upon reaching their destination.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The statement that the Windcarver is "not intended for use over water" is a nod reference to the 1989 film Back to the Future Part II, in which the hoverboard stopped when Marty began to fly over the water.
- If placed in a toddler's inventory, they will be able to use the Windcarver, but their animations will look strange as they will be stretched to fit, suggesting that this is not a feature.
