Surfskating
An Ideal Blend of Surfing and Skateboarding: Surfskating
On this page, you will discover all you require for surfskating, including complete surfskates, trucks, wheels, griptape, and components.
Defining Surfskating
Surfskating is a form of skateboarding that mimics the movement of surfing, but is done on land. Specially crafted surfskate trucks facilitate deep manoeuvres, sharp turns, and pumping. You build momentum on a surfskate by pumping and shifting your weight from heel to toe. In surfskating, there's no need to use a foot to push off the ground, as is typical with skateboards or longboards.
Surfskating is perfect for practising real wave surfing movements, honing balance, or simply enjoying the exhilaration of surfing on the roads. With surfskating, you have the opportunity to keep the appropriate muscle groups active once the surf season has concluded.
Complete Surfskates
A complete surfskate is ready for immediate use, equipped with a deck, trucks, wheels, bearings, and griptape. We offer a range of premium complete surfskates featuring proven surfskate trucks.
Opting for a complete surf skateboard is the simplest way to begin the sport without having to pick the components for your surf skateboard one by one.
Surfskate Trucks
Surfskate trucks are crucial for surfskating. These uniquely designed trucks use special mechanisms to create a surf-like sensation. They enable you to build speed through pumping and allow for sharp turning and carving.
Surfskate trucks are fundamentally distinct from standard skateboard trucks. Surfskate trucks are not ideal for regular skateboarding, and standard skateboard trucks do not suit surfskating.
Surfskating Wheels
Wheels impact surface grip, rolling speed, and shock absorption. Softer wheels offer better traction and smoother rolling on uneven surfaces, whereas harder wheels facilitate easier powerslides. Wheel diameter and the size of the contact patch also influence stability and turning capability.
Griptape for Enhanced Control
Griptape ensures traction between your footwear and the deck. It is vital for maintaining control over your surf skateboard. There are various styles to choose from, allowing you to improve both the appearance and grip simultaneously.
Additional Components and Accessories
Bearings, riser pads, and bushings all play a role in your surfskating experience. High-quality bearings enhance speed and smoothness, while bushings influence the ease of turning. Riser pads can help prevent wheel bite, especially when larger wheels are used.
