Solo te faltaba " el patinete"
la tabla and monopatín both mean a skateboard (though the 1st one is more colloquial)
andar and montar goes well with monopatín
Perhaps the ling to spanish wikipedia will help you http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skateboarding
check this skateboard thread I've always heard "andar en patineta" from Mexicans for riding a skateboard.
Learn Spanish 2, lesson 2.4, in the flashcards the word "el monopatinaje" is used for skateboarding.
