What Are Complete Surfskates?

Surfskates, also known as surf skateboards or surfboard skateboards, allow you to experience the sensation of surfing on the streets. Unlike traditional skateboards and longboards, surfskates feature a unique front truck that mimics the movement and feel of surfing. This design enables you to pump without ever needing to place your foot on the ground.

A complete surf skateboard is fully assembled and ready for you to ride right out of the box.

What Size Surfskate Should I Get?

Complete surf skates are available in various sizes, typically with decks ranging from 30 to 40 inches in length. It's generally advised that taller individuals opt for longer decks. Your experience with surfskating and other board sports should also be considered. For instance, very short surfskates offer the tightest turns and highest agility, while longer surfskates provide greater balance and stability. Therefore, beginners may find it beneficial to start with a longer surf skateboard.

Is Surfskating Hard?

Surfskating is both a standalone board sport and a method of surf training, suitable for all skill levels and age groups. No prior experience in skateboarding or longboarding is required. However, surfskating does require practice to develop the balance needed for safe riding. Remember, surfskating is all about cruising and having fun, so take it at your own pace and embrace those chill California surf vibes.
