What Are Complete Surfskates?

Surfskates, sometimes called surf skateboards or surfboard skateboards, are boards that make you feel like you're surfing the streets. Unlike skateboards and longboards, surfskates have a unique front truck that mimics the movement and sensations of surfing. This design allows you to pump without ever having to touch the ground with your foot.

A complete surf skateboard means everything is pre-assembled, so you're ready to ride right out of the box.

What Size Surfskate Should I Get?

Complete surfskates come in various sizes, with decks typically ranging from 30 to 40 inches long. Generally, the taller you are, the longer your deck should be. Your experience with surfskating and other board sports should also be considered. For instance, very short surfskates provide the tightest turns and are highly agile, while longer surfskates offer more balance and stability. Therefore, many beginners might want to start with a longer surf skateboard.

Is Surfskating Hard?

Surfskating is a board sport in its own right and a method of surf training. It is suitable for people of all skill levels and age groups, and prior experience with skateboarding or longboarding is not necessary. However, surfskating does require practice to develop the balance needed for safe riding. Remember, surfskating is all about cruising and having fun, so go at your own pace and embrace the relaxed California surf vibes.
