Surfskates are perfect for surfing the asphalt. By performing the turning movements just as you would on a surfboard, you can generate speed and move without having to push with your foot. It is the most fun way to train when there are no waves.
You will find complete Surfskates ready to skate, as well as loose Surfskate boards, Surfskate trucks, Surfskate wheels, bushings, and Surfskate grip tape to assemble and configure your own surfskate to your liking.
We stock the best Surfskate brands such as Carver, Yow, Slide, Long Island, Flying Wheels, Triton, and many more.
The surfskate is a skateboard that allows you to glide through the streets as if you were on a surfboard moving through the waves. It allows you to replicate the movements that a surfer must make to turn. To achieve this, the surfskate must have a specific front axle, which is very soft and designed to allow much tighter turns than with traditional skateboards.
When choosing a surfskate (just like with surfboards), you must take into account factors such as the type of front axle, the length of the board, the wheelbase, or the type of wheel. A larger board will give you stability and speed, but you will lose radicality and acceleration; the same goes for the wheelbase. On the other hand, the larger the wheel, the better the grip, speed, and ability to avoid skidding, although we may lose acceleration. The choice depends on the type of surfing and skateboarding you enjoy, as well as your budget.

The wheelbase is the distance between the two axles of a skateboard.
This distance affects the type of pumping your surfskate performs. A wider wheelbase will allow you to generate more speed and make wider turns. On the other hand, a shorter wheelbase results in tighter and more responsive pumping.
Not really, as the sensation of a surfskate is mostly determined by the trucks. A wider surfskate board may provide more support and stability compared to a narrower one, or it may have a more or less pronounced concave, but in the end, it doesn't make a huge difference.
What does vary significantly is the length of the surfskate board, as it directly affects the wheelbase. This will have a considerable impact on its usage, stability, and the type of carving that can be performed. The size of the board also depends on the individual using it, considering their skill level, height, and weight.
