Surfskating – Where Surfing Merges with Skateboarding
Explore all essentials for surfskating, ranging from complete surfskates to trucks, wheels, griptape, and components. This page allows you to find the surfskating categories that pique your interest.
Understanding Surfskating
Surfskating is a variant of skateboarding emulating the mechanics of surfing on dry land. Specialised surfskate trucks enable profound movements, sharp turns, and pumping. With a surf skateboard, forward propulsion is achieved by pumping from heel to toe—surfskating does not involve pushing as is common on skateboards or longboards. It's perfect for honing surf techniques, enhancing balance, maintaining active specific muscle groups, or simply enjoying urban surfing excitement.
Complete Surfskates
A complete surfskate includes a deck, trucks, wheels, bearings, and griptape, all set for immediate use. We offer a variety of top-tier complete surfskates featuring well-proven surfskate trucks. Opting for a complete surf skateboard allows you to delve into the sport without the hassle of assembling individual parts.
Surfskate Trucks
The core of surfskating lies in the surfskate trucks. Their distinctive designs are based on mechanisms engineered to simulate the sensation of surfing. They facilitate speed generation through pumping and enable precise carving at low speeds. Different from standard skateboard trucks, surfskate trucks are not suited for regular skateboarding, and vice versa.
Wheels for Surfskating
Wheels impact grip on surfaces, rolling velocity, and slide attributes. Softer wheels enhance traction and offer smoother rides on uneven terrain, while harder wheels facilitate sliding. Additionally, the diameter and size of the contact patch influence stability and manoeuvrability. Hence, selecting the right surfskate wheels is crucial for optimising your surfskating experience.
Griptape for Stability
Griptape ensures traction between your footwear and the board, which is vital for controlling your surf skateboard. A diverse array of styles is available, enabling you to boost both aesthetics and grip at once.
Additional Components and Accessories
Bearings, riser pads, and bushings each have significant effects on your surfskating journey. High-quality bearings enhance speed and rolling efficiency, while bushings influence the ease of truck turns. Riser pads can prevent wheel bite, proving beneficial when larger wheels are used.
