Absolutely not.

The snakeboard (aka streetboard) has been around since 1989, and is an extreme sport with many board companies & riders all around the world.

The waveboard (aka casterboard, ripstik, vigorboard) is a toy which is only similar in that it uses the same principal of being a self-propelled board. The waveboards were only able to be manufactured after the original Snakeboard patent expired.

The snakeboard has 4x wheels and trucks similar to a skateboard. Some have thin centre-bars, others have wide ones. All snakeboards can have footstraps attached and riders can do all sorts of crazy tricks; in vert ramps, skateparks, miniramps, or the street.

Ripstiks / waveboards have 2x "caster wheels", no trucks, no centre bar, no straps, and you cannot do half the amount of tricks on them that are possible on the snakeboard.
