What Is A Surfskate? (Explained)
Рет қаралды 247,605
3 жыл бұрынWondering what a surfskate is? In this video, I break down what they are and why they're my favorite type of board to ride. Carver, YOW, Smoothstar, and Waterborne are a few brands I briefly mentioned.

Longboard vs Skateboard: • Longboard vs Skateboar...
About a year ago, I started seeing boards resembling cruisers on my Instagram feed.
And I couldn’t figure out why they were becoming so popular, I mean, sure, they looked cool, but I didn’t pay much attention to them.
That’s until I saw videos of the people doing some insane carving. This was when I realized there was a completely different type of board called the surfskate.
Since I’ve been skating and surfing for over 14ish years now, I was intrigued. Longboards were originally created for surfers to replicate surfing on land, but surfskates, I’m telling you, are another level.

Love the shoutout to the subreddit!! What you really need to try is a Slide truck, or one of the many clones (I have a Flow, which is a new subbrand of Origin so the quality is pretty great). They don't lean near as much as others which is great for skate parks or just general cruising if you're a longboarder. I imagine with any other truck going back to regular trucks would be awful. I had to sell my Vanguard because I kept falling off of it since it's so radically different from my surfskate 🤣

I'm on the verge of buying a SwellTech Premiere ( or maybe the Hybrid Camo? because its slightly cheaper with a wider tail area and decent wheelbase) anyway, I'm over my Carver -even put the CX truck on an old reverse kingpin Chilli deck and drilled new holes making it super loose. I previously owned a Carver C7 and found the CX to be tighter turning. But Carver as a surfskate has its surftraining limitations and after 5 years of being on them, I am ready to progress on to something even "surfier". WHAT I really want is to get my hands or feet on a Toledo #77 by Smoothstar but I live in Orange County CA and with the Carver patent monopolizing the So Cal surf skate market it is impossible to get a Smoothstar. So glad that you shed new light on the distribution center opening in 2021! In the meantime, I am on the fence about getting a Swell tech, on the positive side they 're the LOOSEST surfskate out there and are said to 99.9% resemble short board surfing, however the thing is fragile as the the springs break often even with their newer truck version II. Also, having broken both wrists (my rt one with the Carve Board -the giant board with inflatable tires that I thought would never slide out!) the Swell Techs seem really sketch as nosediving looks all too easy to do on them. I look forward to your review of Swell Tech's as a surftrainer (bottom turns top turns cutbacks) and also your opinion on how sketchy it is. It looks like you got the J.O.B. Banzai model?

This vid got my sub. Looking forward to seeing your reviews to hear you take on comparing them. While smooth star was enticing, I was between waterborne and carver because smoothstar are already expensive and tack on almost $100 shipping. Yikes. I picked waterborne to try on my deck to see if it was worth the hype. A couple months later, I built a new board based on their adapter since it was so much fun. That said, it makes me wonder what I am missing in the other surfskates, which wraps me back to waiting for your comparison!
@concrete-waves 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks, really appreciate the sub! Waterborne is a solid adapter. The fact that they created something more affordable & universal is genius. I will be doing a comparison between YOW & Smoothstar after my Shark Wheel’s review (2ish weeks). I usually rotate between my YOW & Smoothstar

I've been curious about these. I live in Louisiana now. I used to surf when I lived in Puerto Rico. It's been 15 years since then. Surfing was my first time on a board. From that I moved around the US. After surfing, I got to try snowboarding, moved to LA, tried out wakeboarding and skateboarding. Never done longboarding but I'm pretty happy with just regular skateboarding.

Surfskating is probably my favorite type of boardsport right now. I started regular skateboarding when I was 5 and did that for many years. But nowadays I enjoy surfing and mellow riding more. It's an expensive hobby but I think it's worth it. Maybe try to find someone that lives near you with one so you can test it out

Landyachtz recently came out with their own version of a surfskate and I picked one up recently as they were the most accessible to me in Canada. They dont use springs but a reverse king pin truck and I've managed to learn to pump pretty well on them but lacking in some speed. I'm thinking its due to the lack of springs not providing me any return of energy? Might be worth checking out!

Someone actually just mentioned to me about that Landyachtz surfskate. I haven’t tried it but, yup I’d say you’re right... chances are you’re not getting that return of energy because there aren’t any springs. The springs are pretty vital in a surfskate because it pulls the truck from one side to another, without losing speed

Hi there! What are you thinking about Mindless surfboards?

So I'm guessing (newb here) that surf skates aren't for beginners to skateboarding and surfing. Should I stick to a longboard skateboard?

i have a sector 9 pintail longboard, it’s super fun! but i want my carving to be sharper, do you think the surf skate adapter would work good on my board? or should i look into getting getting a smaller cruiser?
@concrete-waves 3 жыл бұрын
Surfskating works best when you have a board in the 28-34"ish range. The shorter the wheelbase, the snappier the turns. So I'd prob save up, get a used cruiser and Waterborne adapter. Or look into a YOW or Smoothstar, although that'll be more expensive

Hey man, really great videos, just found the channel today! I have a question: What do you think of the day to day practicality of these boards? I'm assuming that at higher speeds the extra sensitivity from the front truck makes them not too viable as a way of getting around town right?
@concrete-waves 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Jack! As far as day to day practicality, I wouldn't suggest them. The carving is so aggressive that it's not a great way to get around. The only brand I'd suggest as a viable way to get around town would be Carver. Their truck systems are much more mellow

You’re right. Any downhill speed and you’ll get the death wobbles real quick. Caught me by surprise I’ll tell you. 😬 But. . . For just working on my surf style on flat to semi small hills they’re just great

Hi there Jack, I have custom made deck with Slide surfskste trucks and I barely walk :D I always ride. Even uphill if u want some workout ;) gping down the hills is hell of a fun for me recetly, u have to make a lot of turns so u wont get too fast. Or to prevent speedwobble just distrubute your weight right. But u cant bomb very steep hills with too narrow roads.

I have a retrospective rift through longboard do you think it would be impossible for me to ride this or will it take some time Is it harder to ride and can it go over speed bumps
@concrete-waves 3 жыл бұрын
It depends what surfskate you get. YOW, Smoothstar & Waterborne are more aggressive for carving, whereas Carver has more mellow trucks. I wouldn't recommend going over speed bumps with these

I have a landyatchz dinghy cruiser. Is it possible to turn it into one of these?
@concrete-waves 3 жыл бұрын
Yup you should be able to do it with a Waterborne adapter. I would just make sure by sending Waterborne an email or IG DM. They're super helpful

Would you ever consider reviews on ebords? I’m interested in the technology but it is a big investment. I was also wondering if you would recommend just buying a surf skate adaptor and if so which one?
@concrete-waves 3 жыл бұрын
Definitely in the future. They seem awesome. But I'd suggest looking into the Waterborne adapter... solid quality, great customer service and relatively cheap

Is smoothstar a good brand for cruising with the ability to carve? Or is it too aggressive to go long-distance?
@concrete-waves 3 жыл бұрын
I’ve heard people doing longer distances with them but I personally wouldn’t recommend them for that. Too aggressive in my opinion

So what cheap surf skate should I get because I have a low budget because my family’s going through a hard time but I’m willing to buy one
@concrete-waves 3 жыл бұрын
Best option is to pick up a used cruiser in the 30-34” range and a waterborne adapter. That’ll give you a solid surfskate setup for much cheaper than a new complete

Anyone ever try a-flex surf skates? They’re based in America and seem nice just looking at em at the local skate shop. Haven’t ridden one though.
