A skimboard was a form of personal transport that consisted of a long metal board that hovered above the ground. Its user, referred to as a skim surfer, rode it in a standing position.
Toy versions known as gravboards also existed that were small enough that a child could ride on, presumably through anti-gravity. When she was 3 years old, Jyn Erso had one though her mother worried that she should not have brought it to the facility, her husband Galen worked at.
