Amazing video. Ur going places

I tried one of these in decathlon not knowing what it was , my impression was that it was so smooth fun and turny , and I was able to wiggle pump the whole decathlon until one of the staff stopped me

Great review! It solved all the doubts I had before deciding to buy this surfskate. Thanks!!

thanks for the review. just what i needed to hear, and it came from a surfer.

Great review legend. Straight to the point and heaps of footage of the board 🤙 Love from Australia 🇦🇺

very qualitative review! I didn't look for a surfskate but you got me hyped haha

Literally just bought one of these for myself and my two boys. At 57, for me it is primarily for mobility and agility to try a new push that process back and for the boys it is to be able to practice balance and surf skills. The whole family took it up in a big way this year (what else do you do in a lockdown?). A primer series on how to start and progress on one of these would be a great follow up. Great filming BTW, and great length of film.

Awesome review! I was going to get this board and order the waterborne surf adapter at the same time. I’ll hold off on the adapter for now.

That last quote made me sub, ty for this

My friend had it this summer at Zaton Beach Resort in Croatia, it was the most beautiful skateboard I've ever seen 🌟

as u said.. a lot of fun. thank u. I got one and I'm happy. People crap on it saying it's not a surf skate etc but I think it's a nice cruiser hybrid. feels stable and pretty fast! great content!

This was my first Surfskate. I changed the deck after a few weeks but the trucks are, as you said, absolutely fine for what a surfskate is supposed to do.

Great review! I won’t replace my Carver with it but it looks fantastic value if a friend ever wants a surf skate. Cheers

Cool bro, nice review, thx for sharing ! Also just got one and i'm also shocked how good it goes for that price 😉

Awesome. Thanks for this great video. I will pick this board up! 🙏👊🏼

I literally bought this board after seeing your review. Me and my son are loving it. Thanks a lot Mark, great stuff!

I found your channel looking for a Waterborne review for an esk8, now I'm just enjoying watching all of your videos. I love the chill vibe. Thanks!

nice vid . I just uploaded my surfskate progression with this board . your riding is so good that I believe I can improved more on this board :) nice!

Awesome review Mark. I've been indecisive for months on which board to go for and this pretty much solved that problem!

Thank you very much for the review.

Great review dude! Edit: wrote this comment too soon, this is a FANTASTIC review man. You did an amazing job, so many lackluster reviews on YT, especially for skate stuff. This was a really well done video, you hit a lot of essential points and you have a nice narration voice.

Another positive with the added screw holes is that you can mount a truck with a larger baseplate👍

Man, I'm chain-watching this video! I got the board straight after seeing this, despite Steve Palmer's one, because I needed a fix as I cannot SUP surf nor wing foil because of an infected wound in my shin. Now I am spying your moves here and in your oldest videos to set my SMART objectives. Keep flowing Mark! Great style. BTW, Decathlon apparently is phasing out this model this year, and one can get it for €85 here in Italy. P.S. the board is great for wing skating too! You should try!

Just bought it for all the family (42 father and 13 and 17 kids). ✊😉

I have used this surfskate for the whole summer and I absolutely agree with every one word that you said in this video

Great review, SUBSCRIBED!! I'm 66, just bought a Smoothstar, first skateboard ever, & I'm having so much fun it should be illegal!! :)

thanks for the review. I'm thinking of buying something simple like this and adding my own electric kit for commuting :)

I totally agree with you. I own one Carver Greenroom C7 equipped and one Triton CX equipped. I tried last week the Oxelo and is comfortable, fast, smooth, light, turning tight and nice looking. I always ride the surfskate barefoot but just I don’t like the pad on the tail, looking good but I found it slippery. I prefere the sand or the sandpaper grip. Great review

I bought one 2 weeks ago, cannot disagree on : great first board, very stable even in (not too sloppy) downhill, easy to pump, can go fast. I was just a little disappointed because I thought it would turn more radically when upper body is launching the rotation.. but it still carves really nice ! EDIT : the manufacturer is actually "Decathlon" (at least here in France !)

Fantastic review!!! Este surfskate lo tengo en mi quiver, aunque modificado y es cierto que te proporciona un estilo diferente respecto a otros sistemas, aunque un poco mas de tail hubiese estado bien. Fantastic for begginers!!!!!

I have one of this. I’ve put Juju bushings from mindless 83A on the front truck and that gave me a new feelings for only $10.

Awesome bro😎🤙🏼

Hey! Thanks for the review. Got this and love it...but after a bit of use the strated getting wobbly...checked and the rubber bushing on front truck was worn away...any idea on what type of bushing I could get to replace?

sweet vid!

Awesome review! Thank you! 🙏🏽

I changed the bushings to 88a - huge difference man.

Bought mine 1 month ago to improve my surfing skills for strapless kitesurf. Needed an affordable surfskate to begin with and this one do the job perfectly. Very smooth riding and quite easy to pump. The only negative point imo, there is no spare parts for the trucks (even in decathlon France). Good review

I bought this board second hand, but it was brand new (just a nose ding) and the only complain I have is the grip of the top of the board. The transparent griptape faded after a week of use, forcing me to put a new one, because now the board feels slippery. The same happens with the tail grip, that I will remove in the future to put actual griptape. Appart from that, it's a great board for the price.

I have had this surfskate for a year now. I bought it because I can't surf in the place I'm living ATM. Previously, I used to ride a longboard surfboard, so I kinda knew how to carve with this board, since once you know how to carve with a 9' longboard you can even carve with a palm if you want hahaha. These are my impressions of it: - It's ok to learn the basics of carving. The length of the board is good for high speed stability. I've gone downhill with it with 0 complaints. - The "sandpaper" grip of the nose has a really bad quality. After a week of use it was like steping in regular wood, which was really slippery and dangerous. Same thing for the surfboard-like grip of the tail. It had 0 grip and I had to replace both of them with actual sandpaper grip to make the board usable again. -The design of the board is just dumb. Decathlon took the shape of a short surfboard and made it smaller, which is really uncomfortable, since you can't place the whole surface of your rear foot in the board. You'll always have a part of your foot outside of the board. It's specially bad when you are carving a bowl, since you can't correct the position of your feet so easily. - I broke the front truck bushing after 6 months of use. I had to replace it. - If you ride over any wet surface (even slightly wet) the grip of the wheels just dissapears, and it's really easy to fall. - The wheels should be a little bigger IMO for urban carving. Also, the grip of the stock wheels is not very good, but you can use this to learn how to slide. - I've tried the trucks in different boards and they do what they are supposed to. My conclussion is that this board is ok for starting and learning your basics, but the same board will be limiting your learning. I have to say that I picked up my surfboard after 8 months without surfing and the techniques I used with this board made me not forget how to carve on my longboard.

Excellent review !!! Do you think the slim tail would be strong enough for airs? And given that your stance is great on this board, may I ask what your height is?

I am in Europe. This afternoon Ill buy it at the local Decathlon store.

I got it, ride it, like it. I can ride faster on good surface than on a regular board, uphill is still a challange, the traction pad is definetely a huge advantage. I have Swell Tech, too, but the noise of the string trucks drives me crazy. So I prefer Oxelo, belive it or not.

8 hours from the beach? I hear you! I'm at 6 or 8 hrs since moving out of SoCal. Great review thanks.

Hey man not sure if you have asphalt pumptracks around you but my waterborne skateboard works perfect for it 👌

I have an oxelo, I love it

Sir, You seem like a pro. I'm just a beginner & I own this board. It will be too much to say what modifications I made to this board as I've been using it for 12months now ( I did make few videos about it ) . But please use a cup washer below the cone bushing on your front truck. It will avoid the bushing from cracking as it moves forward & bulges on the edge of the hanger. Nice video :) Thanks :)

I have that one and I feel that is very stable and rigid. I like it but is not my favorite surfskate

Nice review! Many tks! Just have an ideia, what's your height and weight?

Looks pretty awsome, sold my carver, only ride YOW(s4) nowdays cause Ilike it supersmooth. Before that I switch the bushings to cone to cone on my carver and only tighten the front truck a little. Made it much more loose for a carver.. You should try that on the oxelo..

Thanks for this video. I bought one in april - great board and trucks - less surfy than yow but actually ideal and for improving / starting - I love grabbing rail front side and backside sharp turn its so predictable. Pushing carves lets you lose just enough traction to get a buzz. Excellent skateboard to add to any quiver - especially if you want something a little more stable at speed. The whole package is well matched - no need to change anything just enjoy. Great Recommendation enjoying it beyond the level of its price its unbeatable value.

Hi great boards for the price, great honest review. What longest wheel base will it go to? Actual wheel base ,centre of axle's where wheel touches ground. Being 6'3" tall with wide stance. Cheers

that board is beautiful

Hi Mark B. It is a great review.Thank you.I have a Caver CX. I would like to try on TheYard-Ottawa, but I do not recognize the skatepark with a lot of graffiti on it. Can you tell me where it is?

nice review, if we add the waterborne adapter, would it fit and make it an even more awesome surfskate? thanks!

Hey love the review man one question can’t you just replace the nut that sticks out with a smaller one and try to grind that without hitting the coping?

Hi, thank you for this review, very comprehensive. I am thinking on start discovering surfskating with this kind of board. Although I would prefer it with larger wheels. Would it fit? 70 mm?

Asked a friend to borrow me his surfskate (actually a miller) to see if I can adapt well and if it is one thing that I should by or not... Well... I got addicted, and with a low budget I was wondering if this decathlon skate would be enough or not. Guess it might be a really good buy after all. Great video by the way. I'm portuguese but since you talk in such a paused and clear way it's really easy to understand.

Mark would you say that this board is good enough to help progress surfing movements? I've been thinking about buying a surfskate to practise pumping but I don't want to spend those extra euros on a premier Carver/SmoothStar, etc since this is my first ever skate. Also, clean and solid review, just subbed!

Thank you so much for this! Question please? Would this be okay for an absolute beginner? Thanks!

I went to the store to check all of their surfskates. All gave me wheelbite or hanger hard stop too early. I'm heavy rider. But no wheelbites with Carver CX. Pity, because I want to have one for home, one for breaks at work, but Carvers are pricy in Canada.

This or the nkx maverick surfskate? I am total beginner

I cut a piece of PVC piping and cable tied it over the trucks for grinds

Other things you can do with this Oxelo board, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrl3jdl3mqmceYE.html

Thumbs up!

Notice you were wearing an ankle brace, any particular ones you recommend? Ive developed anterior foot pain using my surfskate and its hurting my surfing too!

hey mate, in the video you mentioned the waterborne surf adapter and this Oxelo 540 Carve is a bit different but still good. After a couple of months what do you think, which one is better? Or totally different style? I am hesitating between this surfskate and ordering a waterborne surf adapter to my longboard (pintail), and after your vid I really dunno which one would be better. I am more into just cruising, i don't do tricks at all, but also surfing, so I just want to have a similar feeling like in the water. I really like my longboard so would be happy to convert that to a surfskate with the adapter but also like this Oxelo 540 shape with the grip at the back and actually almost the same price.

hey, I'm thinking of getting this board, but would it be okay if I changed the wheels? something like the Carver concave 69mm. also, would it be okay to add the Waterborne adapter on this board? GREAT VID!

Hey there! Would you recommend this board for riding long distances? Is it stable while going downhill at medium speed? I am planning to upgrade from my little penny board to a larger one this summer. My preferencies would be stability (not to have that wobbly feeling while going downhill with my penny), comfort and the ability to do some of these surfer moves. So basically i'm looking for a board that is good for both cruising and carving. Do you think this would be a good choice? Thank you very much!:)

Great man! Can you help me? I dont know how to choose my surfskate, so i am thinking i will start with the Oxelo. My question is: according to my physic (my height and width, my weight) where should i screw my trucks on the Oxelo board? How can i calculate that? I am from Peniche but living in Switzerland since 25 and i started to learn surfing 3 years ago at the age of 31. When i come from my hometown back to Switzerland i can only think about surfing! I could drop the halfpipe in the skatepark and did some skimboarding in flat water with a flat wooden board (never had money to spend so...). I really wanna come back next year to Peniche having had some training here. Thx for the help

I’ve been using Amphibion trucks and I like them lot but bushings wear out in no time. I wonder how long these last?

you think that the flaw can be fixed with other wheels? Thank for the video!

Have you the link or the name of the board to get one from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 or seen if is possible buy one online? Thanks for your help.

Where can i find This trucks??? Or similiar ones

I see the back truck is set same as the front one? Are the truck same as the other decathlon board the 500 series?

You should try the boilgon surf skate 40-50 bucks

I saw many bad reviews regarding the breaking of bush , what about the availability of parts . What to do if it break ?

I got the Declaton Oxelo fish. Can I just get a carver trucks then I can skate like this carver board?

how about the fish 500 classic? *intense music plays*

Hey, really dont like the graphics on this? Does the paint scratch off? Or it there some layer over the graphics? Thanks!!

Nice

I have that bird I’m still a kid a lot of kids use that bord

Is it good to play?

I'm thinking about buying this longboard, but i'm not sure if it will withstand my weight. I'm 220lbs.

Would you think pumping works for a lighter skater (60kg) due to it being more steady?

I found one for around $90 In my country! I'm not sure if i should try it😖

Thanks for this! Anyone know where this guy is from?

Hey are those skateparks around London???

I am a total beginner - never skated - I'm 1,64 m- do you think this surfskate will be good for me for a start? :)

How do you get this much speed out of it? Have you done anything to your bearings? Thanks.

Where is that skateboard park with the pump track?

I like how it looks. Closer to a surfboard is better imo. You ever skate a hamboard? Its funny af to see someone paddling out on concrete lol

what brand of protectors you have?

Could you tell me what wheelbases are possible?

Justo el mio

I'm from India😝, here there are very few places to surf and well as very few roads to skate, I just ordered this got it at a steal.

Riding barefoot? I'm new to skating so how do they stop going so fast

👍👍👍👍👍

You obviously live in Canada. Where about? And where are all those parks you skate?

how can we upgrade this skate?

how can we upgrade that skate?
