Surf Skateboards

Surf skateboards are designed with special front trucks which allow the skateboard to tilt, the front trucks to pivot and the wheels to change direction, much more than a normal skateboard. This allows the rider to generate their own speed by pumping the pump forwards and backwards, similar to the feeling of surfing or carving a wave.
These skateboards are very popular with surfers (particularly as a substitute for when the surf is flat!) as they blur the boundaries between surf and skate; you can mimic your surfing stance and slide out the tail for a realistic surfing simulator.
Great for:

• Generating your own speed
• Practising your surfing/snowboarding (carving) skills
• A mode of transport and cruising around
• Carrying/transporting around
• Tight and deep carves
• Effortless pumping

Not so great for:

• Going fast
• Stability for beginners
• Manoeuvrability for beginners
• Tricks & flips
