How it's used
滑板 is used exclusively for the sport or the object itself, rather than the action of sliding. When referring to the action of sliding on a surface, Cantonese speakers prefer using the verb 滑. It is common to see people use the verb 玩 before 滑板 to indicate the activity of skateboarding.
