Surfskate Riser Pads

Prevent Wheelbite Using Surfskate Risers

For that surfing sensation on your board, you'll need a setup that provides ample lean during your ride. However, if your deck frequently touches your wheels, it's advisable to switch your surfskate riser pads.

These are flat components, crafted from either rubber or plastic, inserted between your trucks and deck. They increase the gap between the wheels and the surfskate deck, and come in various thicknesses to meet your requirements.

Riser pads offer a cost-effective and simple method to prevent you from losing balance and protect your board from damage. Additionally, the risers that function for surfskating are also compatible with skateboards and longboards. Therefore, you might already own some that suit your setup. If you're in doubt about whether your hardware will fit, please refer to our handy guide on Buying Skateboard Bolts & Risers.

When skating on uneven terrains like a boardwalk, consider shock pads as an alternative. These not only elevate your board but also minimise vibrations and cushion impacts.

If you're planning any amendments to your configuration, ensure you have the appropriate Surfskate Tools.
