The Ideal Combination of Surfing and Skateboarding: Surfskating
On this page, you will discover all you require for surfskating, from complete surfskates to trucks, wheels, griptape, and components.
Defining Surfskating
Surfskating is a variant of skateboarding that mimics the motion of surfing, albeit on terra firma. Specialised surfskate trucks enable profound movements, sharp turns, and propulsion. On a surfskate, speed is generated by pumping and shifting your weight from heel to toe, rather than pushing off the ground with a foot as one would on skateboards or longboards.
Surfskating is perfect for honing actual wave surfing techniques, enhancing balance, or simply enjoying the exhilaration of street surfing. This activity lets you maintain active use of the appropriate muscle groups once the surf-season concludes.
Complete Surfskates
A complete surfskate arrives ready for use, equipped with deck, trucks, wheels, bearings, and griptape. We offer a range of high-quality complete surfskates featuring proven and tested surfskate trucks.
Opting for a complete surf skateboard simplifies entry into the sport, negating the need to individually select the components of your surf skateboard.
Surfskate Trucks
Surfskate trucks are vital for surfskating. Their distinctive designs, based on unique mechanisms, provide the sensation akin to surfing. They allow for speed generation through pumping and permit precise turns and carving.
Surfskate trucks are entirely distinct from regular skateboard trucks. Surfskate trucks are unsuitable for conventional skateboarding, and standard skateboard trucks are not ideal for surfskating.
Wheels for Surfskating
Wheels impact surface grip, rolling velocity, and absorption of vibrations. Softer wheels offer enhanced traction and smoother rolling over uneven terrain, while harder wheels facilitate easier powerslides. Wheel diameter and contact patch size also influence stability and turning proficiency.
Griptape for Control
Griptape provides grip between your footwear and the deck. It is crucial for sustaining control of your surf skateboard. A variety of styles is available, allowing you to simultaneously improve aesthetics and grip.
Additional Parts and Accessories
Bearings, riser pads, and bushings can all have an impact on your surfskating experience. High-quality bearings enhance speed and roll, while bushings influence the ease of truck turning. Riser pads can prevent wheel bite, especially when opting for larger wheels.
