Glad I found this channel. No one in the longboard 🛹 community talks about Kahuna Creations boards. I bought th Kahuna Creations Shaka Stealth. I was worried the brand might be bad since no one really reviews them. I had no idea 🤷‍♂️ they didn’t review them because; it’s a whole different style of boarding called surf-skate.

Surfskate love and shane lai OG's!

How long is the break-in period on G/Bomb steel comparing to Zealous steel please ?

Its hard, i really feel old trying to. I wish there was someone close by that can teach me but there is no other surfskater than me. Love this guide and hope a senile bastard like me can learn this .

Hey Steve, I'm new at this and tour videos help to improve A LOT, they're so easy to understand and put it to practice. So, thanks for that:)

It's a big thing to realize when we fucked up a little, and to make recompense. Very cool being positive. I try to only give positive reinforcement unlesss there is something unsafe or of poor quality/value.

have you tried Grasp trucks? They are awesome steve. would love to see a review on what you think. I feel they have the stability of a cx and the forward momentum of a yow meraki. If meraki and cx had a baby, that would be it!! Also very versatile in the skatepark.

Hello Steve!! I'm a newbie too. I bought the CARVER 31.25" KNOX PHOENIX CX a few days ago and it arrived yesterday. I was impatient to try it, but the front mechanism is very rigid (it is impossible to turn it with my hand) and my rear wheels stopped within 3-4 seconds. There is also the squeaking sound you mentioned. I don't know if it is for this reason, I tried pumping while driving but it doesn't accelerate!! This video is perfect for me. I will try the steps here and try again. I hope the reason why I cannot accelerate is due to missing adjustments. 😊 I have benefited a lot from your videos throughout this process. Especially the technical information and charts you provided while choosing my surfskate were amazing. I'm grateful. 🙏

Wish there was an event like that near me. Looks super fun! I’ve got a couple of longboards and a cruiser board…but it wasn’t until I got my Carver Proteus C7 surfskate that I found the absolute pinnacle of fun on a board! Surfskating is where it’s at!!! 😎👍

Tell your buddy to predrill a couple more wheelbases and I think it will be an easy sell. Nobody likes having to modify a $200 deck.

Steve, I can't wait to here what you think about the Globe surfskates. The made a run about 5 years with a different truck that didn't get any fanfare, but they now make a magnesium hollow-axle C7 clone. It looks very promising and high value. There's one called the Costa that has a very flexy deck and gets a 21" wheelbase into a 31" board. Thanks for everything. I've got three packs of Sufskate Love wheels coming in next Tuesday from Status.

Any thoughts on carver tritons in the bowl?

I gave the Ovni Andromeda trucks a try, I quite like them but there are definitely some quirks. First, buying them you have to email and paypal the owner in Brazil? I found that a bit sketchy... Quality is not up to Yow/Carver level, but seems to be holding up fine so far. And I could care less for the rear trucks. All that aside - if you throw a ("waterborne style") rail/lean adapter under the rear truck, you get one of the most surfy and tuneable setups available. The front truck is so loose that playing with bushings in the rear gives a huge range of how it rides/carves - it is the only setup I have where you can tune the board for lots of lean with a wider radius turn, making it my favourite setup for carving at higher speeds. It is probably the closest feel I can get to powder snowboarding - where you have enough lean at speed that you can carve with your weight straight through your feet instead of pressuring one edge of the deck.

Just ordered Hydroponic for about 95$ (50% off deal), seems like your only issue was the price, so hopefully I got a great deal

I wanna see a review on the new Smoothstar dolphin cruiser. Online Smoothstar claims it is very fast. Interested to see as I recently bought a Felipe pro 32.5 with Thruster D trucks and fell in love with it, although it is not setup for cruising. Smoothstar claims online the 37" dolphin crosses into the cruising element.

Never, never , ever buy decathlon. Never.

im just 5.4 wondering is a 32 inch board is too big? im adult btw got me the Carver Hobo 32.5" C7

looks good but i think i have a similar shape already

store recommended me the c7 for casually cruising.

Yow Surfskates any good?

WTF who has streets like that. That's at least 6 lanes in a residential area. In Switzerland not even the highway is this wide. That's like a whole ski slope.

I have the new version of the Yow Pukas. It's my first board (I'm a beginner). I've been using it for about a month now and love it. The only bad thing about it is that I might be too short for it. I'm only 160 cm tall and I can't stand on the tail permanently because my legs are too short. So I always switch between standing on the tail when I want to turn with it (to lift it off the ground) and standing where the back bolts are. Still, I feel comfortable on it. I would also like to try carvers, but I want to get more experienced before I get a new board. And then definitely a smaller deck.

Great edit ! I made the cut ✂️ Blue shirt .. above the turn , on the small track .. 😅.. always a blast skating when you're there !

do you think Double$Down High Roller 33" Surfskates are a good surfskate, please say your actuall opinion.

I’m 51 and just started surfskating, after watching this video I’m determined to learn properly to improve my surfing and to master this amazing way of skating!!thank you

Thanks for This Video. I decided to buy Surfskate than Longboard😍

7:01 Thanks for the personal set up info! I’ve just ordered some 90a yellows for my stock santa cruz x carver. I’ll try that out then may look at the single 92.5a blue on the boardside.

I think with long boards, you have to carve more and add kickturns. Surfskates don't need those as much since you can carve more easily. I'd still learn to kickturn on surfskates if there is little space for carving.

Is standard mode the adapter without the blue ring?

hey thanks for the vid! these parks look great, would you mind letting me know which parks you went to? :)

Great video, great tips, thanks for the young surfer. And for the Channel owner. Cheers

This channel is so useful, it's just out of this world. Thanks for the great job you do guys. Cheers.

There must be a way to redesign the trucks so that there’s less stack height. Surely, the levers and springs could be mounted, flat on the underside of the board (no shortage of space). What if the wheels on each side of the board could be interconnected? The same amount of turn, but without an exaggerated vertical movement Or would that defeat the purpose (like carving a wave)? Fascinating😊😊😊

My surfskate is being delivered today. Can't wait to start my 30 day challenge. impressive what you have achieved with discipline! Which protectors for knees, wrists and elbows can you recommend?

No no no don’t put any grease on your bushings. It will eat away at them and they will lose there rebound.

Actually, they recommend lithium grease not marine grease . Also for the bearings you do absolutely want to use the lithium grease not that speed crap it’ll literally dry up the first time it gets wet even if it doesn’t it will before you have to take the truck apart again. For those kind of parts that are not easily accessible you want to use grease. Now for your wheel bearings sure that speed cream crap is fine but in the actual truck use grease lithium grease.

Decathlon is a failure. Period.

Hello, sorry for stupid question, but I’m really new to boarding, but I look it for alternative against bike (I move to different countrie where you can’t take bike in train) so I looking for stuff what I can hang on my backpack, I like cruiser 30 inch. Style but then I go to shop, I get confused about long to surf board, what I should get to start riding, what firm I should look to buy (looking for like middle firm not to good but not to bad). it’s better get surf? but how it’s good for beginner who never ride on board? So if you can say some advice, brand name, type what I should take (cruise or surf) it’s little help to decide, thanks!

What is the weight of this piece of art?

Could one add 17 and 17.5-inch wheelbase options to this, then?

*Interestin deck!* 🤙🏽🤟🏽🤙🏽

Hi Steve. Love Your channel. Do you know how to stop this clicking noise at the backtruck while pumping? I bought a waterborne Gemini with the rail adapter. Greetings from Switzerland!

Hi, is it a good idea for a beginner ?

Hi, thanks for your reviews. What do you think about Long Island ?

Excellent Mentor . Question . which surfers do you use on the video ? brand et ect ? beginer here

awesome!

Totally unrelated to the content - are you a AF veteran? That being said - looking forward to giving the drop in a shot! I have yet to do it…

What do u think about peace boards? Are they any good?

Hi, im looking to get my first surfskate. I was wondering what is your opinion on the Santa Cruz Collab with Carver the board is the Flame Dot Shark Carver Surfskate 9.85" X 31.52" (with Carver cx trucks. All the best!

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 *🏄 Lean da Curfboard* - A diferença de inclinação entre os modelos Curfboard Classic e Performance Wave é devido à presença de pads de inclinação. - O modelo Performance Wave da Curfboard tem uma inclinação significativamente maior devido à adição de um pad de inclinação. 04:40 *🛹 Classificação dos surfskates* - Os surfskates podem ser classificados em puramente treinadores de surf ou cruisers de rua. - A Curfboard é categorizada como um puramente treinador de surf devido à sua soltura e fluidez. 07:40 *🤙 Comparação entre Curfboard e Swelltech* - O Curfboard é mais estável do que o Swelltech, proporcionando uma experiência mais segura ao atingir sua inclinação máxima. - Ambos os surfskates têm uma inclinação semelhante, mas o Curfboard oferece uma proteção extra ao atingir o limite de inclinação. 09:32 *🏄 Ênfase nas vantagens do Curfboard* - O Curfboard é o surfskate mais solto e fluído, ideal para movimentos do corpo superior. - Sua estabilidade o torna ótimo para iniciantes. - A forma como é construído incentiva uma técnica adequada de bombeamento de surfskate que flui do seu núcleo. 11:03 *🛹 Vantagens únicas do Curfboard* - O truck do Curfboard permite que você posicione seu pé dianteiro mais para a frente do que em outros surfskates, possibilitando um deck mais curto e uma postura mais larga. - Mesmo sendo solto, o Curfboard não apresenta oscilações de velocidade a altas velocidades, mantendo-se estável. - É uma ótima opção para praticar o "cross-stepping" devido à sua estabilidade e possibilidade de posição avançada do pé dianteiro. 12:53 *🚫 Limitações do Curfboard* - O truck do Curfboard não retorna automaticamente ao centro, o que pode reduzir o impulso para a frente ao bombear. - Pode gerar vibrações em superfícies irregulares, afetando o passeio em terrenos ásperos. - Para nadar em bowls e transições complexas, o Curfboard pode não ser tão adequado devido à tendência de perder contato com o solo em transições abruptas. 18:54 *🏄‍♂️ Adequação do Curfboard para diferentes tipos de surfistas* - O Curfboard é ideal como um treinador de surfe para surfistas e como uma adição interessante para entusiastas de surfskate. - Funciona bem para exercícios de cones em superfícies planas e áreas pequenas. - Como um cruiser de rua, pode não ser a opção favorita devido à falta de impulso, vibrações e sensação de travagem durante curvas apertadas. 20:00 *🚶 Opiniões de Joey Daley sobre o Curfboard Classic* - O Curfboard Classic é uma excelente opção para iniciantes, com um bom ponto de pivô. - Falta um ponto de pivô no truck superior para permitir uma inclinação mais ampla durante o bombeamento. - Recomendado para surfistas intermediários a iniciantes como uma introdução à fluidez e bombeamento. 21:32 *🛹 Experiência de Joey Daley em diferentes cenários de surfskate* - O Curfboard Classic é mais adequado para downhill e fluxo contínuo, mas não é altamente versátil para outros estilos de skate. - Recomendado para surfistas intermediários a iniciantes para praticar bombeamento e fluidez. - Joey encontrou o Curfboard ineficaz em transições e bowls, com uma roda traseira levantando em certas transições, afetando a estabilidade.
