Surfskating
The Ideal Blend of Surfing and Skateboarding: Surfskating
Here, you will discover all essentials for surfskating, ranging from complete surfskates to trucks, wheels, griptape, and components.
Defining Surfskating
Surfskating is a skateboarding variant that mimics surfing's movements but occurs on land. Unique surfskate trucks enable profound maneuvers, sharp turns, and pumping. On a surfskate, speed is achieved by pumping and shifting your weight from heel to toe. Unlike skateboards or longboards, surfskating doesn't involve pushing with one foot on the ground.
Surfskating is an excellent way to rehearse real wave surfing techniques, enhance balance, or simply revel in the excitement of street surfing. It allows you to keep the relevant muscle groups toned after the surfing season concludes.
Ready-to-Ride Surfskates
A complete surfskate is supplied with a deck, trucks, wheels, bearings, and griptape, all set for use. We offer a range of superior complete surfskates, featuring well-established surfskate trucks.
Selecting a complete surf skateboard simplifies entry into the sport, as it removes the need to pick each component separately.
Trucks for Surfskating
Surfskate trucks are essential for this sport. Their unique configurations are devised to emulate the feeling of surfing. They enable speed generation through pumping and provide sharp, carving turns.
These trucks differ significantly from standard skateboard trucks. Standard trucks are unsuitable for surfskating, just as surfskate trucks are not appropriate for regular skateboarding.
Surfskate Wheel Choices
Wheels impact grip, speed, and vibration dampening. Softer wheels deliver superior traction and smoother rides over uneven surfaces, whereas harder wheels facilitate effortless powerslides. Both wheel diameter and contact patch size play a role in stability and turning capabilities.
Griptape for Optimal Control
Griptape ensures a secure connection between footwear and deck, crucial for managing your surf skateboard. A wide variety of styles is available, allowing you to improve both appearance and grip simultaneously.
Extras and Accessories
Bearings, riser pads, and bushings all impact your surfskating experience. High-quality bearings boost speed and roll, while bushings determine truck turning ease. Riser pads are beneficial in preventing wheel bite, particularly with larger wheels.
