Surfskating
The Ideal Blend of Surfing and Skateboarding: Surfskating
Here, you’ll find everything required for surfskating—from complete surfskates to trucks, wheels, griptape, and various parts.
Understanding Surfskating
Surfskating is an approach to skateboarding that imitates the motion of surfing, but occurs on land. Specialised surfskate trucks enable profound movements, tight turns, and the ability to pump. By pumping and shifting your weight from heel to toe, you generate speed on a surfskate. Unlike traditional skateboarding or longboarding, surfskating does not require you to push off the ground with one foot.
Surfskating is perfect for honing real wave surfing skills, enhancing balance, or simply enjoying the excitement of surfing along the streets. It keeps the appropriate muscle groups active even after the surf-season has ended.
Comprehensive Surfskates
A complete surfskate arrives ready for action, equipped with a deck, trucks, wheels, bearings, and griptape. Our collection includes top-notch complete surfskates featuring tested and proven surfskate trucks.
Opting for a complete surf skateboard simplifies entry into the sport, eliminating the need to individually choose the parts of your surf skateboard.
Surfskate Trucks
Essential for surfskating, surfskate trucks boast distinctive designs with special mechanisms that emulate a surfing experience. They facilitate speed generation through pumping and enable sharp turns and carving.
Surfskate trucks differ greatly from standard skateboard trucks. They are not suited for regular skateboarding, just as standard skateboard trucks are not ideal for surfskating.
Wheels for Surfskating
Wheels affect surface grip, rolling velocity, and vibration absorption. Softer wheels offer enhanced traction and smoother rolling on uneven surfaces, whereas harder wheels make powerslides easier. Both wheel diameter and contact patch size influence stability and turning performance.
Griptape for Control
Griptape ensures traction between your footwear and the deck. It's vital for retaining control over your surf skateboard. A variety of styles are available, allowing you to augment both grip and appearance simultaneously.
Extra Parts and Accessories
Bearings, riser pads, and bushings can all affect your surfskating experience. Quality bearings enhance speed and roll, while bushings determine the ease of turning your trucks. Riser pads help prevent wheel bite, especially when utilising larger wheels.
