Cool video and thanks for sharing the experience. You mentioned you had a year-long break from wave surfing but continued to surfskate? Do you feel surfskating helped or developed bad habits that got in the way?

Hey Mark.. thanks for this. Started surf skate a few months back and just turned 45.. can I ask for some advice on knee pads, which ones are you using? They look slim line and less bulky..

very useful thank you bro

That’s awesome news, thank you, Sophie

The essence of freedom, so nice.

Lots of creativity !

Look's so cool! 😎

Noice

I have the trucks and i put it into my Madrid valterra board

The whole world is our skate park.

Awesome video Mark, I loved that enclosed pipeline and the drone coverage outside at the banked pipeline. Your friend led you to some really cool spots and you explored them in your usual surfskatorian style 😃🤙

Always blowing my mind with new ways to surfskate 😎

Taking a swelly on a skatepark? Dont you like your bones as they are? Its like taking a shopping trolley downhill!

Thanks, great tutorial, vital info!!

The ditch and tube section were really enjoyable to watch! Anything outside the skatepark always gets my vote! Great video Mark! ❤

I love how you went from "I'm 8hrs away from the ocean so I need to surfskate to get that surf feeling" to "I'm going on a trip to the ocean I still need to find the best skate spots to be able to release a nice video part", this video feels like you're not that landlocked anymore, just enjoying your skate journey to the fullest and to those like me who got to skateboarding and surfskating from surf and end up, for various reasons, to skate far far more than surf, it sends really positive vibe. You also feel a more positive vibe about finding remote spots our even sharing one with skaters rather than how crowded surf line ups end up to be, with lot of tension, localism and you sometimes just get 2 or 3 good runs in a surf sesh while surfskate often feels like you can go on forever. Sometimes I'm like "I'd really miss surfing and I'd like to take a nice trip" and then I see videos of the crowded spots and I'm more like "No I'm good at my local skateparks and bowls, I'll go surfing when I'll go surfing"

Great work Mark 🙌 keep it up!👍

My heart stopped on the fall 😰 The different angles and views are awesome! Love the ending clip. Love how you can feel both the intensity that comes from the more skateboard tricks, and the sense of freedom of the surfskating. Great video Mark!

Powerful and spectacular. Could have watched even longer. 💥

Dig the BS Bert to ride on grind as the ender 👍👍

Love it, Mark! Well done! 👏

I was really confident droping-in on four foot, so i thought i could move to 6 foot something. Although i was a bit scared i thought i could do it...I landed right on my face and broke out my teeth. I guess i looked to much down, because it wasn't an issue of commitment ;).

i have zero empathy for people who cannot handle negative criticism. People just don't want to accept that not all they do is amazing, so they get butthurt if someone doesn't say "you are great" and act like "i don't listen to those people". That always reminds me of Gorden Ramsay calling out people for being in denial and people just not wanting to see it. Personally i see just this big market of people trying to rip of newbies with they surfskate classes. Its a big epidemic and no one tells the newbies they are beeing ripped off because "keep your negative criticism for yourself". I think if you do surf skate because you just like to to it, the feels and stuff - ok. But get rid of that surf training illusion, fuck classes, fuck posers.

Thanks

I'm going to try these out

Hi, I know this is an older video so the bus rules might have changed, but were you walking from the hotel out to the road with your boards and then taking long boards on the bus? I'm wondering if that is a possibility.

Great review, wouldn't you like to test our board as well?

Hi, You should also try our boards ;)

"PromoSM"

I think you should get your wife a one wheel to follow you and film you on the boards.

Never heard of this brand I will check em out

Nice. 2 years ago I build my own surfskateboard... great move❤

I got surfskates because, as someone who has surfed for 40 years, and taught snowboarding for a while, too, I have found most skateboards and longboards to be disappointing. I like having the ability to flow, turn hard, and gain speed from it. I do think there's way too much talk about which truck systems feel exactly like a surfboard. What surfboard? Every surfboard I've ever ridden, from vintage longboards to sub-5 foot boards made for acid dropping into river waves, feels different. Every run of the mill 6' something tri-fin has felt different. So don't overdo the "surf training" thing. Just enjoy surfskates for what they are. They will let you use your surfing and snowboarding flow, whereas doing flip tricks on popsicle stick skateboards won't. Enjoy that as a different sport if you like doing it, but recognize that skateboarding departed from its surfing roots 30 years ago and never looked back. Where it used to be an offshoot of surfing, it stands alone now as an Olympic sport. Surfskates are a deliberate effort to go back to those surfing roots, for those of us who want that feel when we screw around on the driveway, or even in the skate park. Still, a surfskate does have its own characteristics. Feel free to ride what you like, without worrying if it's exactly like a surfboard. That's really not a thing. 🙂

Are those the Cx or c5?

Thanks for making this video.

A video on the spine transfer please Mark!

Hi Mark, had you got a chance to test in park or flat the 70mm 81a ? If they give a small additional speed without being too slidy, they could be a good choice.

awwwww ahaha you look so happy this is filling my heart to watch

you're great Mark! thanks for continuously helping my surfskate skills grow (:

I just bought some for my C7 did you remove the risers?

Super cool

How are these compared to Yow legasee trucks in terms of pumping?

Angled riser might help with the turn radius.

Kelly has hosted Carver at his surf ranch and there are videos on KZfaq of him carving hills on a 90s model surfakate.

Would these be pretty loose? I was thinking about getting the trucks for a 33inch deck. (I prefer looser trucks)

Amazing love it

What trucks do you use in your boards?

I can't skate loose trucks
