30 year old trying a SURFSKATE for the first time
Рет қаралды 216,307
Күн бұрынLife has been a drought yet again. It's time for a new board. This time round I got myself a Surfskate board from Decathlon, which kinda mimics surfing but on land and it looked relatively manageable for a 30 year old guy like myself.
I think this is my favourite hobby right now.
Surfskate board from Decathlon (currently sold out :x) :

Man you damn brave so fast pump track liao! U should definitely check out the other boards like the Slides & YOWs guarantee a different experience. I bought the decathlon out of curiosity, but I also have a YOW, man the difference is stark! The tilt is deeper so the surf feel is even more flowly, pronounced and even tighter carves! Less chance of jacknifing as I saw in your video. U can go to therideside and try out their boards even if you're not thinking of buying yet!

Well done, mate! I stumbled across surf skating when my youngest child (12) asked for a longboard last year. Found that surf skating was sure more interesting than longboards and we decided to go for it. Neither of us could skate. I was 52 and she was 12. So, exactly 1 year ago today (13 Aug 2020) we bought the same board you did, the Decathlon Oxelo 540 Carve Bird. It was the birds and the price that attracted us too! It became a great papa and daughter bonding activity. Took us a month to get into it without having prior experience with boards but it then started to click and we are now carving the paths together. Love not having to put my foot down at all. Like 8km of carving with no foot down except on steep slopes and steps. I sure ain't gonna do ollies, flips n stuff. Too old for that shit! Just digging carving. Skate surfing is sick, man! Didn't know about the park in cashew. Gotta check it out! Tks for sharing! Keep on keepin' on, mate!👍🏽😀

Inspiring story, thanks for this. I’m next haha. I’ll be 49 next month, and just bought a longboard last week. Never been on one, but wanting to try for a while now. This pandemic is just adding another (welcomed) delay as I’m scared to death, haha. Been learning the basic this past week and enjoyed it so much. Never knew about surfskate but sounds like what I’ve been wanting to do in the first place; cruising for 8KM without putting my foot down, sounds exciting. Will give it a try next for sure.

Amazing compilation of surfskate learning, various beautiful environments and most important fun. Noob 55 year old downhill skateboarder and one of my comments (from sub) was to try surfskate to work on carving. Can’t even stand on the board, but will start training tomorrow (I have my own boards and bought 2 sets Carver C-7 that i put on today). Congrats on 4 week accelerated progression. Inspiring. 🙏🙇🏻♂️

Seeing you cruising around iconic places brings lots of memories and nostalgia. I also picked up skateboarding a month ago during the lockdown, now very into surf-skating. Own the same Carve 540 as my first board, then upgraded to Yow Pukas Dark 2 (equivalent to a BMW/Merc of surfskate). Would love to cruise with you one day bro when I can visit Singapore.

excellent video brother! very good edition. In the "pumptrack" you did not do it wrong, what prevented you from being able to achieve it was yourself, if you watch the video you will see that every time you fell it was because you got scared and lowered your back leg from the board. fear is the worst enemy. a big greeting from Argentina
@sirillustration 2 жыл бұрын
good on you man for trying new things, pumping is all in the legs. try to focus on bending on your knees and keeping your upper half level. As you come up with a bump let your knees absorb it then push back down on the other side. it's all about timing and feel. keep it up.

cool video shawn! got my decathlon board a year ago. as a beginner like myself, the board sure is stable and love it. really like seeing you ride the pump track. try bending and straighten your knees when you reach the hill and back down,as it creates thrust and speed. btw,wet surfaces are nasty. the board surface,cause i use it everyday, through time, the sand that acts as a grip to your feet will fall off slowly. so what i did, was scrape off all the sand, and replace it with grip tape, like on a traditional skateboard.(feet sticks real good). really love to use this board on pump tracks, bowl/pools, and going downhill on mellow hills. keep it up man!! - fariz, K.L.
