Frequently Asked Questions about Surfskate
What is surfskate?
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.
How to choose a surfskate?
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.

What is the wheelbase of a surfskate?
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.
Does the shape of a surfskate board have a significant impact?
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.
